Frequent Eye Rubbing<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the most common causes of under-eye wrinkles is rubbing the eyes. Many people rub their eyes to relieve tiredness or irritation, especially at the end of the day. However, this habit causes repeated injury to the delicate under-eye skin, leading to collagen breakdown and early wrinkle formation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Geetika Srivastava strongly advises avoiding eye rubbing to prevent premature ageing.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>2. Not Wearing Prescribed Spectacles<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When spectacles are prescribed but not worn, the eyes strain to focus. This causes repeated contraction of the muscles around the eyes. Over time, this continuous muscle movement can result in early wrinkles and fine lines, particularly around the under-eye area.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>3. Allergies and Chronic Eye Conditions<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conditions such as:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Allergic rhinitis<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Allergic sinusitis<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Atopic dermatitis<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">can cause itching, inflammation, and frequent rubbing around the eyes. These factors accelerate collagen damage and contribute to early under-eye wrinkles.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>4. Dry Skin and Skin Conditions<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In conditions like atopic dermatitis, the skin tends to be dry all over the body, including under the eyes. Dry skin makes fine lines appear deeper and more prominent, worsening the appearance of under-eye wrinkles.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>5. Natural Ageing<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With age, the skin naturally <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.influennz.com\/blog\/collagen-benefits-for-skin\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">loses collagen and elastin<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which are responsible for firmness and elasticity. This loss causes the skin to lose its turgor and fold into lines, leading to wrinkles under the eyes.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>6. Genetic Factors<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Genetics also play a role. In some individuals, under-eye wrinkles may appear earlier due to inherited skin structure and collagen quality.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Best Dermatologist-Approved Treatments for Under-Eye Wrinkles<\/b><\/h2>\n<h3><b>Botox: The Gold Standard Treatment<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.influennz.com\/botox-treatment-in-delhi\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Botox\u00a0 injections<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are the most effective and widely recommended treatment for\u00a0 fine line around eyes.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Botox relaxes the muscles responsible for wrinkle formation<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Best suited for wrinkles that appear during facial expressions<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Completely smoothens dynamic wrinkles<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reduces static wrinkles, though they may not disappear entirely<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Results Timeline:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Visible improvement: within 3 days<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maximum effect: 14 days<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Duration of results: 4\u20136 months<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The number of units required, and hence the cost, depends on wrinkle depth and muscle activity.
