Under Eye Wrinkles

Under-eye wrinkles are the fine lines and creases that form in the delicate skin beneath the eyes. For many people they are among the very first signs of skin aging to appear.

Why this skin is so sensitive?

The skin under your eyes is among the thinnest on the body and has very few oil glands, so it loses moisture quickly. That sensitivity is also why these lines can seem to come and go: when you are dehydrated or tired they look deeper, and when the skin is rested and hydrated they soften.

Why do under-eye wrinkles form?

The skin beneath your eyes is exceptionally thin and produces little of the oil that locks in moisture. It is also in constant motion, folding with every blink, smile and squint. With so little cushioning and lubrication, this skin shows change early. Both dehydration and collagen loss appear here sooner than almost anywhere else.

1
Dehydration and few oil glands

Well-hydrated skin looks plumper and reflects light evenly, which softens fine lines. When the skin barrier, its outer protective layer that seals moisture in, is dry and depleted, the skin under the eyes loses water and the same lines fall into shadow and look deeper, even before any real structural change. This is why these lines can seem to come and go.

2
Naturally thin skin and collagen decline

Under the eyes the skin is the thinnest on the whole face, roughly 0.5 mm, almost without oil glands and naturally low in collagen. It sits over muscle that moves with every blink, close to 10,000 times daily, so it is worked continuously. When fibroblasts slow and collagen drops with age, this barely supported skin creases readily and holds crepey lines far longer.

3
Repeated movement

Blinking, smiling and squinting move the under-eye skin thousands of times a day. This constant folding, in skin that has little support to begin with, gradually encourages fine lines to form along the same paths.

4
Oxidative stress and lifestyle

Daily habits pile on. Smoking, alcohol, pollution and too little sleep generate oxidative stress, an excess of unstable molecules called free radicals that corrode collagen and elastin. A sugar-rich diet adds glycation, where sugar stiffens these fibres. Both speed how fast lines under the eyes form and set.

5
Volume loss and rapid weight changes

A small fat pad cushions the under-eye. When facial volume drops, especially after rapid or significant weight loss, this area can hollow slightly. Skin retracts slowly because elastin is barely renewed in adulthood, so the added shadow makes existing fine lines look deeper, even when the skin itself has changed little.

How to Prevent
1

Daily sun protection

Gentle, broad-spectrum sun protection and sunglasses shield the thin under-eye skin from the UV that breaks down its already-limited collagen. Consistent protection is one of the most effective ways to slow under-eye aging.

2

Hydration and barrier care

Because dehydration is such a major driver here, keeping the area well hydrated makes a real, visible difference. Eye-specific products chosen with professional guidance help this delicate skin hold moisture and maintain a smoother surface.

3

Supporting collagen

Ingredients that support collagen, introduced carefully because this skin is sensitive, help maintain structure beneath the surface. Professional guidance ensures they are used in a way that suits the delicate eye area.

4

Healthy lifestyle habits

Quality sleep supports the skin's overnight renewal and helps reduce the puffiness and dullness that make under-eye lines look deeper. Managing stress and staying hydrated from within round out a supportive routine.

Dermal Fillers
Dermal filler injections are used in aesthetic medicine to soften certain wrinkles and address the loss of facial volume that can occur over time. As the skin ages, and with ongoing exposure to UV rays and environmental factors, it gradually loses substances that help maintain its structure and hydration. This process can lead to more visible lines, hollow areas, and a loss of definition in certain parts of the face.

Tear Trough Fillers
Tear trough filler treatment, often referred to as undereye fillers or eye filler procedures, is a non-surgical solution designed to restore volume to the under-eye area, correcting dark circles and eye hollows. The treatment typically uses hyaluronic acid-based fillers, which are injected into the tear troughs—the hollowed areas beneath the eyes that can make individuals appear tired or aged.

Micro-Injection Treatment
This advanced microinjection treatment delivers a customized blend of ingredients — such as a neuromodulator and hyaluronic acid — just beneath the surface of the skin. Using ultra-fine needles, the device creates multiple microinjections at a consistent depth of approximately 0.6 mm, allowing the product to be distributed evenly across the treated area while maintaining patient comfort.

Mesotherapy
Mesotherapy is an injectable treatment designed to support skin quality, texture and radiance. Unlike dermal fillers, mesotherapy is not meant to change the shape of your face or build volume. It uses a product that contains hyaluronic acid (HA), a humectant naturally found in the skin, along with a selection of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that help nourish the skin. The HA used in mesotherapy is non-crosslinked, which is why it does not build volume but instead disperses within the skin, providing diffuse hydration and supporting radiance. Most dermal fillers, by contrast, are made of crosslinked HA, a more robust form that allows them to create structure and restore volume in the treated areas.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) treatment is a science-backed way to naturally improve the health and appearance of your skin using your own biology. It starts with a simple and quick step: a small blood draw from your arm, done right in clinic. This sample is then placed in a specialized centrifuge that spins at high speed to separate the different components of your blood. What we keep is the platelet-rich plasma—a golden fluid rich in powerful molecules called growth factors, including platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and more. These messengers play a crucial role in skin regeneration, boosting collagen and elastin, improving circulation, and supporting tissue repair.

Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF)
Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) is an advanced regenerative treatment that uses the healing power of your own blood to naturally improve skin health and support hair restoration. After a simple blood draw, the sample is placed in a centrifuge that spins at low speed to create a concentrated solution rich in platelets, white blood cells and growth factors. This forms a soft fibrin matrix that helps activate natural healing and tissue regeneration.

RF Microneedling
RF Microneedling Intensive is an innovative technology that combines microneedling and radiofrequency to stimulate skin cells both on the surface and in depth. Using a tip fitted with very fine gold-plated needles, the micro-needle creates microperforations at different depths depending on the treated area - in tenths of a millimeter - in a controlled and precise manner. At the same time, there is an increase in thermogenesis due to the heat emitted by the needles. This initiates the natural process of skin regeneration and stimulates the production of collagen and elastin fibers, while allowing better permeability of the skin to professional serums used after the treatment.

Sylfirm X
The Sylfirm X is a Health Canada-approved Pulsed & Continuous Wave Radiofrequency (RF) Microneedling system and the only RF device with Dual Wave technology that can safely treat a wide range of skin concerns across almost all skin types. It works by generating an electromagnetic field, creating precise thermal coagulation zones using 24 evenly-leveled electrodes that penetrate the dermal layer at controlled depths. This stimulates collagen production to improve skin texture, acne scars, and fine lines. Additionally, Sylfirm X is uniquely effective in treating abnormal blood vessels and improving neovascularity, making it highly effective for challenging conditions such as melasma and rosacea.

Exosome Therapy
Exosome therapy is not a treatment on its own. It is a complement that helps your main treatment go further by supporting the skin's natural recovery. Exosomes are tiny vesicles naturally released by cells to carry biological instructions where they are needed. They respond specifically to signals of inflammation or cellular stress, exactly the kind triggered by treatments such as microneedling, CO₂ laser or JetPeel, so when the skin is in recovery mode they can help support its regeneration. At Dermapure, we use plant-based exosomes, rich in peptides, micro-RNAs and growth factors that may help calm inflammation, support collagen production and support tissue repair. They are always applied topically on freshly treated skin, where the micro-channels created by the main treatment help support their absorption, and are never injected.

VAMP
VAMP is a topical regenerative treatment applied immediately after in-clinic procedures that gently impact the skin barrier, such as microneedling, RF microneedling or laser treatments. These techniques create microchannels in the skin, allowing active ingredients to be more readily absorbed. VAMP takes advantage of this optimal moment to deliver its performance-driven formula beneath the surface, where it can be most beneficial.
