Although we may comment about the way Grandmother’s eye wrinkles lined as she smiled the sweet smile of hers, but have you ever asked her about how she reacted when those first wrinkles showed up? It is a fact, that skin does wrinkle to a certain extent the older we grow, but given the immense stress of life today, premature eye wrinkles are a factor we have to deal with, and we need to find a way to counter these enemies that ravage the delicate tissues surrounding the eyes first.
The root cause
What creates eye wrinkles to begin before any other kind of wrinkles? To begin with, the tissue on our eyelids is, as already mentioned the most susceptible to damage from external things like the sun. It is also prone to aging, essentially due to the muscle that lies beneath, known as orbicularis oculi, pulls the eyelid into folds every time it activates. During aging and collagen decreases, those sections set in deeper lines. Also, harm from the elements, which is most obvious on our faces, also adds to the formation of eye wrinkles.
Tried Botox on your wrinkles yet?
Botox has become so popular that it has to be mentioned. It is the miracle drug from Allergan that erases so many wrinkles. The primary effect of Botox is to stop intra-muscular transmission and causes a paralysis and sagging of the muscles. As it is administered through injection, you can choose the area that you want paralyzed, and effectively smooth out wrinkles.
There are other ways too…
Increasingly, many people are turning to laser therapy to eliminate eye wrinkles. The procedure is called fractional laser resurfacing, a process which dissolves the molecular links of a material using a laser. As well as wrinkles, fractional laser surfacing can also be employed to eliminate other effects of sun damage, scars, stretch marks, actinic keratosis and or ‘spider veins’. These days, new procedures like Erbium laser resurfacing can hasten recovery in just a week, whereas earlier CO2 laser resurfacing often took close to a month to heal.
Surgery, the last resort
We saved this for last because surgery is only a choice when everything else has not worked, which is not likely, I think we can agree. Also, the cosmetic surgery technique known as Blepharoplasty does not exactly eliminate eye wrinkles. But is gets rid of unsightly marks under the eyes. And that is not nearly enough. If you are serious about removing eye wrinkles, you will have to invest in non-surgical options such as Botox and laser therapy.
Check it if you can
As with most of our physical problems, eye wrinkles are better off prevented than cured. So you are better off investing in quality sun screen, and a wide sun hat. There are also various over-the-counter anti-aging creams and lotions available in the market, but they may promise more than they deliver. Needless to add, before you take any kind of medical/surgical step, be sure to consult a professional.
