What should you know about wrinkles around eyes?

The skin around the eyes is delicate and moves frequently, so expression lines can become visible during smiling and later remain at rest. Crow's Feet are lines extending from the outer corners. Sun-Damaged Skin may add uneven colour and rough texture. Dryness can make fine lines look stronger without being their underlying cause.

Apply sunscreen carefully around the eye area without getting it into the eyes, wear sunglasses, and use a bland moisturiser if the skin feels dry. Avoid rubbing, harsh exfoliation, and untested products near the eyelids. A qualified clinician may discuss Botox for movement-related lines or Dermal Fillers for selected volume-related hollows; the area needs precise assessment because anatomy and risks are distinctive.

Have new or rapidly worsening lines assessed when they come with eyelid swelling, persistent redness, pain, discharge, a rash, or a change in vision. Seek urgent care for sudden one-sided facial weakness or vision loss. A persistent scaly or bleeding spot near the eye also needs examination rather than cosmetic treatment.

Are my lines mainly caused by movement, sun damage, dryness, or volume change? Which treatment area would you address? How will you protect the eye, and what aftercare should I follow?
