Preventing fine lines at an early age
Dr. Schultz-
I am 22 and I have some fine lines under one of my eyes. The fine lines are very visible when I smile and the asymmetry formed because of the fact that one eye has the fine lines and the other doesn’t make me feel self-conscious. How can I prevent more fine lines under my eyes and is there a way to get rid of my existing fine lines? Thank you.
Because botox decreases the muscle movement that causes lines when one smiles, botox treatments can reduce the existing fine lines and prevent or delay the development of new ones near the eyes. Botox treatments typically last three months and then need to be repeated.
