Does Botox tighten the skin around your eyes? Botox tightens sagging skin wherever it is injected, including around the eyes. It relaxes the nearby muscles, which helps to reduce and prevent wrinkles. The overall effect is to create the appearance of tighter, younger skin.
Non-surgical and minimal invasive, tear trough fillers are an effective way to tighten skin under the eyes, treat wrinkles, improve the hollowed-out look under the eyes and brighten dark circles. Hyaluronic acid fillers are made of a transparent gel that mimics the natural substance that our bodies produce.
While Botox may help with bags and wrinkles under your eyes, the injections aren't without risks. Temporary effects such as droopy eyelids and fat bulges near the injection site are possible. You may also experience mild pain shortly after the injections.
Botox and dermal fillers work differently which is why they're best used in specific parts of the face. A filler is great for restoring facial volume under the eyes, while Botox is effective for smoothening the dynamic wrinkles like glabellar lines and crow's feet.
A qualified, experienced injector should never inject the area near the orbital bone right above the pupil. If Botox is injected here, it can drift down toward the upper eyelid and cause an eyelid droop. This can last from weeks to even months.
Loose skin beneath the eyes is caused by genetics, age, and excessive sun exposure. Collagen and elastin, the proteins that maintain the skin tight and taut, deteriorate with time, and the creation of new fibers decreases.
Bags under eyes are caused when the tissue structures and muscles supporting your eyelids weaken. The skin may start to sag, and fat that's usually around the eye can move into the area below your eyes. Also, the space below your eyes can gather fluid, making the area look puffy or swollen.
A thin layer of honey, applied to the eyes at night time for about 20 minutes, will tighten the skin around the eyes and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines (we recommend washing off with cold water and gently icing afterwards!).
Wet a clean washcloth with cool water. While sitting up, apply the damp washcloth to the skin under and around your eyes for a few minutes using light pressure. Cut down on fluids before bedtime and limit salt in your diet. This will reduce the fluid retention that can cause bags under eyes.
By injecting filler under the eyes, we fill the volume lost by ageing – lightening dark circles, filling under eye hollows and wrinkles. This treatment also improves skin quality by boosting collagen production and hydrating skin from the inside.

A blepharoplasty is a quick, simple and safe surgical procedure for reducing drooping around the eyes, tightening any folds and creases in both the lower and upper eyelids and lifting the skin around the eyes. The simple procedure repositions or removes excess tissue and skin around the eyelids.
The best laser to treat this area is a fractional CO2 laser around the eyes. There is a downtime of 4-5 days where the skin becomes darker and then peels, however, the results are quite visible even with just one laser.
What is Sofwave? The Aivee Clinic's Sofwave treatment is the latest, most advanced, and non-invasive treatment using a 3D ultrasound technology that works best for skin tightening and lifting. It targets fine lines, wrinkles, and saggy skin usually found in the jowl, jawline, neck, eyelids, and brows.

About: Microneedling is a cosmetic procedure that uses small needles to prick your skin. Microneedling can be used under your eyes to promote collagen production, which can lead to firmer, more youthful-looking skin. This procedure is typically used to treat dark circles or translucent skin under your eyes.

Softer HA fillers including Restylane, Belotero, Juvederm, and Versa are most effective in treating the area closest to the eyes (tear trough area). Firmer fillers including Radiesse, and Sculptra are the best fillers for support below the eyes in the mid-face (the malar region).

A tear trough implant is a safe, effective, permanent way to correct tear trough deformities and sunken eyes. While under conscious sedation, the surgeon makes an incision inside the patient's lower eyelid. Then, the surgeon places the silicone implant.
Laser Resurfacing: According to Herrmann, if someone has significant sun damage and deep diffuse wrinkling, they may benefit more from full-face laser resurfacing, which can give much more natural results. It can also be a more effective treatment for those looking to treat the under-eye area.
Cosmetic surgery and dermal fillers may be a consideration for sunken eyes resulting from aging or genetics. However, surgery is never without risks. Dermal fillers involve an injection of hyaluronic acid into the sensitive tissue just below the eyes, so these may cause side effects.
“Filler is a great option for people who lack volume under the eyes,” says New York dermatologist Joshua Zeichner, MD. “With age, as fat compartments in the face drop, the under-eye area separates from the cheek, giving a hollow appearance.
