What should you know about wrinkles near eyes?

Squinting, smiling, and other expressions can create lines that are first visible during movement and later remain at rest. Crow's Feet are lines at the outer corners, while creasing can also affect the lower eyelids. The skin here is thin and can look drier or more textured. Sun-Damaged Skin may add uneven tone and roughness. Eye-area wrinkles alone do not usually indicate an eye disease.

Wear sunglasses to reduce squinting, apply sunscreen around the orbital area without getting it in the eyes, and use a bland moisturiser. Avoid rubbing or using strong products close to the eyelids unless advised. Botox can reduce selected expression-related lines when administered by an appropriately trained clinician. Dermal Fillers are not suitable for every under-eye concern, so an assessment of hollowness, puffiness, skin quality, and lid anatomy matters.

Get prompt medical help for sudden facial drooping, new double vision, vision loss, severe eye pain, marked swelling, or weakness. Arrange a review for a persistent rash, scaling, discharge, or a new eyelid lump. Gradual fine lines without eye symptoms can usually be discussed during a routine dermatology or aesthetic consultation.

Ask whether your lines are mainly expression-related or linked to dryness or volume change, which eye-area products are safe, and what risks apply to any proposed injection.
