According to the “Doctor’s Book of Home Remedies,” eye wrinkles are typically the first lines to appear on the face. Also called crow’s feet, these wrinkles are usually caused prematurely by squinting and sun exposure. Before you undergo any removal procedures, prevent eye wrinkles from worsening by keeping your skin protected from the sun and not smoking.
Injections
The least invasive procedure to get rid of eye wrinkles is injections. Botox injections are recommended by medical contributors to the Real Self website as a treatment method for eye wrinkles. When you get Botox, botulinum toxin is injected into the muscles of the face. This inhibits muscle movement to smooth out the wrinkles around the eyes and on the forehead. Filler injections put collagen and fat beneath the surface of the skin to plump up the area and smooth out wrinkles.
Laser Surgery
During laser surgery, the skin is exposed to a highly concentrated light energy. The top layers of skin are destroyed to stimulate new growth of collagen. Multiple sessions may be required to fade the appearance of wrinkles around the eyes.
Dermabrasion
When you undergo dermabrasion to treat eye wrinkles, the skin is sanded down with a rotating brush. After the skin around the eyes is abraded, a new smoother layer grows in its place. After the procedure, the skin takes on a reddened appearance. It may take several months for the redness to go away and for the desired results to be visible, according to the Mayo Clinic.
Face Lift
If you are looking for a procedure with more long-lasting results, you may want to consider a face-lift performed by a plastic surgeon. Excess fat and tissue is surgically removed and the skin tightened to smooth out wrinkles on the face. The results can last an average of five to 10 years.
