That mid-40s crepey wrinkliness around the eyes

Have you ever found anything that actually works for this? Wondering about fraxel but don't know if it's really worth it.

Botox is great for the crow's feet but this is more below the eye and over the eyelid.

Oohhh, another thing I've managed to get to mid-40s and not notice. Do I have this "crepey wrinkliness"? I recommend cheerfully ignoring it. Or maybe I don't have it. I can't tell.

Any solutions, please let me know if you can put it all over the body. Thanks.

Haha I'm not totally sure as it becomes most noticeable with movements and I think often most round the bottom edge.

The cheerful ignoring is a sensible idea tbh.

I’ve just had neo-gen plasma round the eyes. (It’s what Shirley Ballas had): It’s one of the few treatments that you can go right to the lash line, over the lid and under the eyes. It’s expensive though £400 per session. But if it means I don’t have Botox again then that’s worth it.

However you need 3 sessions and then results take a few months so I can’t say whether it works yet. I’m hopeful. I personally don’t love Botox around the eyes - knocks my smile off and seems to create more wrinkles elsewhere.

Polynucleotides are supposed to be good too. The problem is all these things cost money and the results aren’t particularly dramatic.

What works for me is not smiling at all....

obviously thats a shit solution so I'll keep the wrinkles!😄

Non surgical procedures are generally inexpensive, ineffective and don’t last long in my experience! I think I will have a blepharoplasty.
