A doctor-performed treatment to soften the fine lines and wrinkles on the lower eyelid and under-eye area. The lower eyelid is one of the most delicate areas of the face and one of the first to show signs of ageing. Fine lines here develop from the constant movement of the eye muscle and the thinness of the skin in this area. M1 Med Beauty treats lower eyelid lines at our Sydney CBD and Melbourne CBD clinics. We offer free consultations.
The skin of the lower eyelid is among the thinnest on the entire face. There is very little fat or underlying support beneath it, and the muscle that surrounds the eye contracts constantly with every blink, squint and expression. Over years, these repeated contractions and the gradual thinning of the skin create fine horizontal lines across the lower lid.
There are two distinct things the lower eyelid treatment can address. The first is the fine surface lines that form from muscle movement and skin thinning. The second is a small horizontal ridge or roll that forms just below the lashes when smiling or squinting caused by the contraction of the outermost portion of the eye muscle bunching slightly. This roll, often called a lower lid roll, can make the eye look puffier and smaller than it is, and is a separate issue from the tear trough hollowness that is addressed by the volumising treatment on the M1 Med Beauty tear throughs page.
Lower eyelid lines may be treated with a doctor-performed treatment placed in precise points along the lower lid. Small, targeted amounts are used with the aim of reducing activity in the lower lid muscle, which may influence the appearance of fine lines and surface texture in this area.
The lower eyelid is a delicate and anatomically complex region, and treatment requires careful assessment and conservative application. An experienced doctor evaluates suitability and determines the appropriate approach based on individual anatomy and goals.
At M1 Med Beauty, all lower eyelid treatments are assessed and performed by a doctor.
Results are temporary and vary between individuals. Your doctor will discuss expected longevity at your consultation.
Most patients return to normal activities the same day. Some mild redness or tenderness around the lower eye area is possible briefly. Your doctor will provide specific aftercare instructions before you leave.
These are two separate concerns that can sometimes be confused. Treatment for the lower eyelid focuses on fine lines and small ridges related to muscle activity on the surface of the lower lid. Tear trough treatment addresses the hollow groove below the eye caused by changes in volume. Some individuals may benefit from one treatment, others from both. Your doctor will assess the under-eye area during a consultation and advise on the most appropriate treatment or combination. Individual results may vary.
Individual results vary. The outcomes shown here are specific to this patient and do not necessarily reflect the outcomes other patients may experience. All cosmetic procedures carry risks. Please consult one of our doctors before making any decisions.
Lower eyelid wrinkles are caused by repeated muscle movements (such as squinting or smiling), combined with thinning skin and a loss of elasticity that comes with age. These lines may appear as fine creases or deeper folds beneath the eyes.
By carefully targeting the small muscles under the eyes, anti-wrinkle treatments may reduce muscle tension that causes wrinkling. This can lead to smoother skin and a fresher, more youthful eye area.
No. The treatment is precisely targeted and does not affect your ability to smile or express emotion. Our experienced doctors ensure natural-looking results that maintain your unique facial movement.
