10 Amazing Under-Eye Wrinkle Treatment Options

 

Over time, wrinkles form on delicate areas of your body, like your face, neck, hands, and chest because of the breakdown of collagen and elastin (two super important proteins) in your skin. There are a number of factors that contribute to this inevitable breakdown, including age, a smoking habit, repetitive movements or expressions, sun exposure, poor skin care, diet, and genetics.

Oftentimes, the first noticeable fine lines you’ll see will be around and under your eyes. These lines go by nicknames like crow’s feet, smile lines, and under-eye wrinkles.

Keeping these under-eye wrinkles from forming involves a whole host of preventative measures, including a healthy diet and proper hydration, minimizing repetitive expressions, wearing sunscreen all the time, using a good skin care routine, and exercising. But what if you already have under-eye wrinkles? Are you stuck with them forever? Of course not!

There are a number of under-eye wrinkle treatments and remedies that can help restore a tight, youthful look to your delicate skin in that area. For example, the Sio Beauty Eye & Smile Lift patches banish stubborn wrinkles from your face while you sleep!

SiO’s comfortable, medical-grade silicone patches target wrinkle-prone zones in two delicate areas—your eyes and your smile—and plump, lift, and reduce the look of fine lines, wrinkles, and expression creases.

The SiO Eye & Smile Lift combo also kickstarts your skin’s natural collagen production, thus encouraging repair and helping to firm, lift, and erase crow’s feet, heavy bags, and eye wrinkles. All you have to do is put on your patches in the PM to start the AM bright-eyed and smiling wide!

Along with this power-packed SiO Beauty under-eye wrinkle treatment, there are a number of other steps you can take to erase under-eye wrinkles. In fact, by following a healthy regimen and properly caring for the skin under your eyes, you can work to return it to its youthful, radiant state.

10 Under-Eye Wrinkle Treatments

Below, the experts at SiO Beauty share their top remedies and treatments for targeting unsightly under-eye wrinkles—helping to restore the smooth and tight, youthful-looking skin that you deserve to have at every age!

1. Smooth Under-Eye Wrinkles With Massage

 

Massage is known to stimulate blood circulation, reduce inflammation, and boost nutrient and oxygen supply to the site being worked on. Oh, and don’t forget, it’s relaxing and rejuvenating!

When most people think of a massage, they think of their back, neck, and shoulders. But the benefits can be applied to any part of your body, especially the skin around your eyes.

To make the most of an under-eye wrinkle massage, first apply a bit of coconut oil to the area so you don’t pull or drag your skin (which can actually cause more damage). Then, using your ring finger, begin gently rubbing or tapping.

Start at the inner corner of your eye and work your way in a large circle up along your eyebrow and then down along the top of your cheekbone until you reach the inner corner of your eye again. Make 10-20 trips around one eye before switching to the other.

2. Tighten Under-Eye Wrinkles With A Natural-Ingredient Eye Mask

 

Under-eye wrinkles can be treated from the inside out by eating healthy and drinking enough water. They can also be treated from the outside in by applying a natural-ingredient eye mask once or twice per week.

One effective eye mask you can make at home contains egg white, milk, and honey. Egg whites are amazing for making your skin look and feel tighter because they’re made up of proteins and vitamins that work from the outside in to nourish and protect your skin.

Among its many beneficial properties, honey is a natural humectant. This means that it attracts moisture to the surface layers of your skin, making it easier for your skin to heal. Milk also contains beneficial compounds that can help heal the skin under your eyes.

Here’s how to use this natural-ingredient eye mask:

1. Separate one egg white into a bowl.
2. Add 1 teaspoon of milk.
3. Mix in 3 drops of honey.
4. Apply this mixture to the skin around and underneath your eyes.
5. Leave the mask on for 20-25 minutes.
6. Remove the mask by washing gently with lukewarm water.

3. Moisturize Under-Eye Wrinkles Away With Eye Cream

There are countless eye cream products on the market that claim to be “miracle workers” when it comes to smoothing away under-eye wrinkles. And many do work, even if they take some time to kick in. But you want to make sure you know what you’re buying and putting on your skin.

When you look for the best under-eye wrinkle treatment cream, you’re going to want to find a cream that could be used to treat wrinkles all around your eyes (not just exclusively the under-eye area). You’ll also want to invest in a cream with some proven active ingredients, like:

• Retinol
• Vitamin C
• Glycolic acid
• Patented peptides
• Hyaluronic acid

Active ingredients like these will be most effective in quickly treating your under-eye wrinkles.

4. Smooth Under-Eye Wrinkles With A Chemical Peel

Chemical peels help to resurface your skin¹ and can do wonders in terms of smoothing superficial under-eye wrinkles². However, because the procedure involves actual chemicals being placed so near your eyes, chemical peels should only be done by a board-certified dermatologist or esthetician. Be sure to talk to your doctor about potential side effects (such as skin discoloration and sensitivity to sun) and recovery time before having a chemical peel. 

If you decide to go ahead with a chemical peel, your physician will apply a type of acid solution to your skin, which eventually peels off, revealing a smooth new layer of skin. The old, damaged layer of under-eye skin will be removed, and you should notice that your wrinkles are much less prominent.

Aside from being a relatively simple treatment to perform, chemical peels for under-eye wrinkles require no anesthesia or injectables. While there are deeper peels that require general anesthesia in a surgical center, these aren’t generally recommended for your delicate eye area.

5. Peel Away Under-Eye Wrinkles With Microdermabrasion

Similar to a chemical peel, microdermabrasion combats under-eye wrinkles by peeling away the outermost layer of skin³. During a microdermabrasion treatment, your physician will use a special tool to spray microcrystals into your skin in order to peel away its top layer.

Microdermabrasion removes dead skin cells to reveal the fresher, healthier layer of skin beneath. It’s also designed to encourage new production of those important proteins elastin and collagen.

This under-eye wrinkle treatment is usually recommended only for people who want to treat superficial fine lines and wrinkles, as it’s not effective at removing deep creases.

Talk to your doctor about potential side effects, such as temporary swelling and redness, and about whether microdermabrasion if right for your under-eye wrinkles.

6. Treat Under-Eye Wrinkles With Eye Pads

 

Wearing eye pads soaked in wrinkle-fighting ingredients is a variation on the “cucumber slices on the eyes” that has become so ubiquitous in the movies and at spas these days. But instead of actual cucumber slices, it uses cotton pads that fit better and allow for better contact.

Here’s what you’ll need:

• 1 small cucumber
• Mint leaves
• 30 mL rose water
• Cotton pads

Instructions:

1. Blend the cucumber, mint, and rose water in a blender.
2. Pour this mixture into a bowl.
3. Submerge the cotton pads in the mixture and let them soak.
4. Squeeze out the cotton pads a few times, and then resoak to fill the pads with as much mixture as possible.
5. Place the cotton pads in the freezer and wait for them to freeze.
6. Ten minutes before you’re ready for the treatment, remove the pads and allow them to thaw.
7. Apply the cotton pads to your eyes and let them sit for 20-25 minutes.

When you’re done, there’s no need to rinse or wash.

7. Heal Under-Eye Wrinkles With Microneedling

This under-eye wrinkle treatment may sound a bit out of the box, but bear with us. A microneedling treatment actually offers a safe way to reduce the wrinkles around your eyes⁴—especially crow’s feet and forehead/browline areas.

Here’s how it works: During a microneedling wrinkle treatment, your physician will use a device that makes microscopic wounds in the wrinkled areas around your eyes. After your skin is minimally injured, it will heal itself by producing more collagen and elastin.

New, healthy skin will form in place of your old, wrinkled skin, making it look smoother than before. And although the words “injured” and “wounds” are associated with microneedling, the treatment is relatively painless.

8. Fill In Under-Eye Wrinkles With Injections

“Injections” is a broad term for procedures such as dermal fillers and Botox™. Both involve needles, doctor visits, and significant risks when compared to other under-eye wrinkle treatment options.

Fillers smooth skin by “filling in” the space left after collagen and elastin break down. These fillers, like the water in a water balloon, provide support for your skin on top, making it taut and smooth.

Botox™ produces the same result—smooth skin—but does it in a different way. This procedure relaxes the muscle at the site of the injection, allows your skin to return to its normal position, and smoothes wrinkles and fine lines.⁵

Though injections are often the first treatment option you think of, they should actually be the last. That’s because they’re costly, invasive, and rife with possible side effects. Injections can range in cost from hundreds to thousands of dollars.

What’s more, it often takes multiple treatments before you see results. And then there’s the very real risk of side effects. Injections can cause any number of side effects, including small bumps, bluish skin, and even nerve damage and paralysis. All of these side effects have the potential to be permanent.

9. Zap Under-Eye Wrinkles With Laser Resurfacing

Laser resurfacing has been around for a number of years and can be a viable option for under-eye wrinkle treatment⁶. According to Jodi Sawyer, RN, “Ablative laser treatments actually vaporize damaged skin with an intense wavelength of light that reaches the skin’s epidermis.”

The destruction of these damaged areas forces your body to repair itself with new, younger-looking skin. “You basically have new skin that has regenerated itself,” explains Ms. Sawyer.

10. Safely Smooth Under-Eye Wrinkles With A Professional-Grade Product
