About Eye Wrinkle Reducers

Eye wrinkles. Those dreaded lines that creep out from your eyes and cause the aging effect to take place. It's something that most people have to deal with at some point in their life, but there is a way to diminish the wrinkles and in some cases hide them all together.

Vitamins

One of the cheapest and most common forms of eye wrinkle reducers are products that contain vitamins A, E and K. These products are simple to use, just dab the vitamin-containing oil or cream onto problem areas and pat into the skin. Avoid letting the mixture make contact with your eyes by applying only to the skin surrounding your eyes. Vitamins works by softening and moisturizing your skin, making fine lines fade away. This method is proven only to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, not eliminate them.

Alpha Hydroxy

Many rave over alpha hydroxy treatments. Alpha hydroxy acid works by removing dead skin cells and causing fresher, younger looking skin to shine through. The best of these creams are mixed with antioxidents that help nourish and protect your skin. This treatment helps to prevent new wrinkles from forming while softening and fading old wrinkles.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture is growing in popularity as a form of skin care. Practitioners claim that the acupuncture treatment penetrates and supplies oxygen and nutrients to the skin and the muscles around the eyes and on the face, providing people with a wrinkle preventative. The treatment works best when done frequently.

Botox Injections and Topical Creams

Botox injection works by prohibiting the chemical reaction that makes muscles contract, in other words causing the treated muscles to be paralyzed. Be aware, however, of the effect Botox has on all facial expression. When a person has been injected with Botox her smile it may not show in her eyes, causing reactions to appear fake or insincere.

Topical Botox is a product that is similar to injected Botox, in that it claims to cause the paralysis effect but rather than a painful needle being injected through the skin, a topical cream is applied and is absorbed through the skin.

Chemical Peels

Chemical peels penetrate several of the top layers of skin and peels them away ultimately showing new, fresh skin underneath.
There are three types of peels. Alpha hydroxy acid peel, which is a light peel with minimal recovery time. This is best for fine lines, age spots and acne. Trichloroacetic acid peel, which is best for fine to moderate wrinkles, pigmentation problems, sun damage and acne. Minimal recovery time is needed for this treatment as well. Phenol peels are for deep wrinkles, moderate to severe acne, and can remove precancerous growths. Recovery time from this type of peel can take months.

Warning

As with any health related matter, it is best to discuss all options for eye wrinkle reduction with your doctor before attempting any treatments on your own. A dermatologist can help you determine the best course of action for you and your skin type.
