Botox or fillers for under-eye wrinkles: which should you choose?

When it comes to treating under-eye wrinkles, confusion is common: should you choose Botox or fillers? The answer actually depends on the specific type of wrinkles that concern you.

Here's what you need to know to make the right decision:

Fillers are the best choice if you have:

• Hollow under-eye circles

• Deep grooves under the eyes

• A general loss of volume in this area

• Wrinkles visible even when your face is at rest

Botox is preferable if you have:

• Wrinkles that appear mainly when you smile

• "Crow's feet" at the sides of the eyes

• Expression lines that disappear at rest

Why this distinction is important:

• Fillers physically fill hollow areas with hyaluronic acid, restoring volume where it's missing
  
  

• Botox, on the other hand, relaxes the muscles responsible for expression lines, but it can't fill volume loss

To determine exactly what suits you:

1. Look at yourself in the mirror:
   
   

   • If wrinkles are present even without expression = prioritize fillers

   • If wrinkles mainly appear when you smile = opt for Botox
     
     

2. For optimal results, a combination of both treatments may sometimes be recommended.
