Under-eye wrinkle injection: Which treatment is sensible?

Under-eye wrinkle injection Berlin

Under-eye wrinkles are perhaps the only wrinkles on the face that we can find something positive in.

Then we lovingly speak of laugh lines and are happy about our humor.

Nevertheless, not all of us are thrilled when crow's feet and other lines around the eye area become deeper and deeper. The lively facial expressions here often take their wrinkled toll relatively early. Then fine lines around the eyes quickly turn into deep wrinkles under the eyes and around them.

Women, in particular, do not appreciate pronounced crow's feet and wish for the wrinkle-free beauty of their eye area back.

In this article, we present the options for under-eye wrinkle injection in Berlin.

A detailed consultation is our top priority. Before the injection, an anesthetic cream is also applied to the facial areas to be treated, so that the treatment is almost painless. The cannulas for introducing the material are so fine that the injections are barely noticeable. If at all, you will only feel a slight pulling sensation at the injection sites. The treatment itself takes between 20 and 30 minutes, depending on its scope. Its specific course depends on the type of finding and the injection techniques used for it.

An under-eye wrinkle injection is a low-risk treatment. Natural filling substances ensure that incompatibility reactions are almost impossible. The hyaluronic acid used today for injections is almost identical to the body's own substance and is produced using biosynthetic methods without animal ingredients.

There are no downtimes due to a professional wrinkle treatment for under-eye wrinkle injection in Berlin with fillers or Botox. You are immediately able to work and socialize after the procedure. Redness and small bruises can be easily covered with make-up after about two hours. If necessary, you can cool the treated facial areas on the first day. Special aftercare is also not required after a treatment with filler or Botox. In the first two days after the procedure, you should avoid hot baths, sports, and strenuous physical activities.

How eye wrinkles develop and why they are almost unavoidable

Our eyes are constantly in motion. Every single blink is associated with muscle movement. It can also quickly lead to tense muscles here, for example, if we stare at screens for a long time.

The formation of wrinkles below the lower eyelid and around our eyes is an indication of the normal aging process in the face. The eye area is at a disadvantage compared to other facial areas from the outset in terms of the number of fat deposits. Wrinkles form more easily here in the face.

Our skin around the eyes is naturally thinner than in other skin areas. With age, it loses even more elasticity and moisture. In addition, we ourselves often unconsciously contribute a lot to the aging process and to eye wrinkles. Eye wrinkles quickly make us look tired and older than we feel.

A wrinkle-promoting lifestyle

We know the situation exactly. Something requires our full concentration, we stare intently at small screens, for example on a mobile phone. Involuntarily, we now intensely tense our muscles. This tension promotes eye wrinkles and wrinkles on the forehead.

This applies not only to eye wrinkles at the outer corner of the eye. The notorious frown lines on the forehead between the eyebrows and the eyes are also often the result of tense muscles in this area. The skin structure in this facial area is constantly challenged by mimic movements and tension.

From a certain age, the displaced skin no longer returns to its original shape. The elasticity of the skin is impaired because fewer collagen fibers are formed. Eye wrinkles and other wrinkles can develop.

Our individual skin type can further promote this process if, for example, we naturally have rather dry skin. First, we see superficial wrinkles, which later develop into deep wrinkles.

Many people notice the first signs of crow's feet and other wrinkles around the eye area already in their thirties. They then have no doubt that their body is aging and their appearance will gradually change. Are we doing something wrong? Is there a treatment for wrinkles on and under the eyes? When is a treatment advisable?

UV rays, smoking & co leave traces on the skin

Regardless of skin type, we often damage the delicate skin around the eyes with too much sun, smoking, and our general lifestyle. Stress and too little sleep also promote wrinkles.

Laugh lines or not, we now look older than we feel. If droopy eyelids and stubborn dark circles are added, we quickly appear permanently tired and exhausted. The gaze hardly opens properly anymore. Not good prospects for the near future.

Although dermatology now knows a whole range of cosmetics that are supposed to keep the sensitive area supple for longer. However, at a certain point, care rituals and cosmetic applications no longer stand a chance against these signs of time. Our facial expression changes gradually.

Injecting eye wrinkles in Berlin: Botox or fillers?

Do we now have to accept the situation and simply take the facts as they are? We cannot eliminate all causes of eye wrinkles. But today, various treatments for eye wrinkles are available to us in dermatology and aesthetic plastic surgery.

With injections, we can smooth deeper wrinkles and fine lines around the eyes. Your gaze quickly radiates the cheerfulness that characterizes a youthful eye area again. The smoothing occurs almost immediately. Modern treatment methods do not require a stay in a clinic, no procedures with a scalpel. The basis is working with a cannula. Many years of experience and expertise in handling hyaluronic acid and Botox are necessary for a professional treatment.

Botulinum toxin versus Hyaluron

These two most important products in the treatment of eye wrinkles differ in their effect.

Botulinum toxin leads to skin tightening by relaxing the involved muscles.

Injected hyaluronic acid plumps up wrinkles from the inside out. In some cases, a combination treatment with both substances is recommended.

Which substance we prefer for eye wrinkles and crow's feet is an individual decision. We will make it together with you in a personal consultation.

Previously, the principle was that Botox was used in the upper third of the face, and hyaluronic acid more in the lower. This principle is no longer universally valid today. It depends on the individual wrinkle situation of the skin areas to be treated. Due to the intense facial expressions and frequent muscle tension of the eyes, Botox may be advantageous for deeper wrinkles under the eyes.

Also, in terms of durability, Botulinum can be even more convincing than Hyaluron in some cases. An effective duration of at least several months can be achieved with both hyaluronic acid and Botox.

What you should know about eye wrinkle injection in Berlin

The injection of eye wrinkles is a low-pain treatment. You may initially be concerned about a blunt cannula and it may seem much too large to be used in the sensitive eye area. You don't need to be afraid of that. We do not reach the eye itself during the treatment.

We initiate an anesthetic in the treatment area with a special cream. This way, we can work even around the sensitive tear trough. For every injection, it is crucial that exactly the right amount of active ingredient is used.

With blunt cannulas, we ensure that hyaluronic acid can spread evenly. When we inject eye wrinkles, this is often a procedure that only takes a few minutes. Although the treatment duration depends on individual circumstances, it often involves measures that take hardly 30 minutes.

The use of botulinum is reserved for doctors. Here too, the correct dosage in wrinkle treatment is crucial for success.

There is less fear of the formation of unevenness. Too much Botox, for example, around the lower eyelid would paralyze the eye muscles. A lively facial expression would then be impossible for some time. This could significantly negatively influence the overall facial expression and represents a severe loss of human expressive ability.

Before and after the treatment

Cooling the eye area against pain

We provide you with comprehensive advice and important information before the treatment. For example, it may be necessary to refrain from using blood-thinning medications seven days before the injection.

After the treatment, cool the treated skin areas intensively to reduce swelling and redness. Injecting eye wrinkles is normally a low-pain procedure due to the anesthetic during the treatment. Should slight pain still occur after the procedure, painkillers will help.

As a rule, you are socially presentable immediately after the procedure. UV protection and the care of sensitive skin areas with a high-quality cream are important elements to maintain the rejuvenating effects of the treatment for as long as possible.

Quickly visible results

Many people wish to be able to smile again as quickly as possible without a massive crown of wrinkles forming around their eyes. With an injection of eye wrinkles, you can fulfill this wish. After just a few days, you can see the visible changes in your face and the treatment result yourself.

It's not just the eye wrinkles alone

Often it's not just about the wrinkles in the eye area alone. Eye wrinkles are often accompanied by pronounced forehead wrinkles. It can therefore be useful to address several types of wrinkles simultaneously. The rejuvenating and smoothing effect overall is all the more intense.

Partially identical muscles are active on the forehead and eyes. Here, for example, the injection with Botox can affect and relax several facial areas. A combination treatment can be very useful here. This is also why, when it comes to eye wrinkles, professional, prior consultation at our practice is important, during which a personal treatment concept for your eye wrinkle injection in Berlin is developed.

Eye wrinkle injection - what costs should I expect?

Standard answers to this question are not possible, as it is an individual treatment with various treatment options. We make the cost question transparent for you during a preliminary consultation for a treatment with Hyaluron/Botox. To give you an idea: a simple Botox injection in a limited area could be feasible for under 200 EUR. More complex procedures are correspondingly more expensive.
