Despite the wealth of knowledge and wisdom acquired as one ages, the body will unfailingly deteriorate. Perhaps the most noticeable changes occur on the face and around the eyes. Wrinkles and sagging skin often cause one to feel self-conscious and insecure. Eye wrinkles especially make the face look tired and old. There are several eye treatments worth trying that can improve the look of wrinkles and make the skin look younger and healthier.
Botox
Botox is a popular method of smoothing out the look of wrinkles on the face, neck and around the eyes. Botox is a series of injections of the drug botulinum toxin. According to UnderEyeWrinkle.org, these injections paralyze the nerve responsible for the formation of lines or wrinkles.
Botox injections are administered specifically to the area that requires the most wrinkle removal; for instance, under the eyes. Within the day following the injections, wrinkles disappear and the skin looks supple and smooth. The effects of Botox are temporary, lasting about three to four months.
It is important to consider that regular Botox injections can cause mild to severe side effects including site pain, headache, fever, upset stomach, nerve problems and facial muscle paralysis, according to UnderEyeWrinkle.org. Botox costs on average $300 per injection.
Lifecell
For those who decide against Botox and want a less invasive and less expensive process of eye wrinkle removal, there are several eye creams worth trying. The first is Lifecell, an under-eye wrinkle cream administered topically and recommended by dermatologists.
According to WrinkleCreamsReviews.org, this is an all-in-one cream, containing anti-aging ingredients such as triglycerides, ascorbic palmitate, citric acid and alpha-lipoic acid, among others. Lifecell also contains antioxidants and moisturizing agents that improve wrinkles, skin discoloration, dark circles around the eyes and age spots. It is nongreasy, safe for all skin types, normally does not break out the skin, and includes a free 30-day trial, according to WrinkleCreamsReviews.org.
Though effective and highly recommended by online reviews, this product does not work overnight and is one of the most expensive eye wrinkle creams on the market. It must be used regularly and consistently, and it may take up to a month to see results. Lifecell costs about $189 for a 2.54 ounce bottle (per June 2010), according to eBay.
Dermajuv
Another effective eye wrinkle removal cream is Dermajuv. According to WrinkleCreamsReviews.org, this product is not merely a wrinkle cream; it is a complete system of three unique formulas. The three products include Original Wrinkle Smoothing Cream, Dynamic Age Defying Serum, and Instant Effect Lifting Serum. Dermajuv comes with a detailed instruction sheet that tells how and when to apply the products, an asset many other creams do not have.
Dermajuv boasts dramatic effects by day three, and according to WrinkleCreamsReviews.org, it delivers. The product decreases the length and depth of eye wrinkles allowing cell regrowth at the DNA level, and encourages skin to heal itself, and leaves skin looking healthier and younger. However, this product must be applied twice daily and some subjects report that it stings after application. Dermajuv costs about $130 for the three-piece set, according to eBay (per June 2010).
