Abstract
Facial aging involves a combination of volume loss and descent, loss of skin elasticity,
dynamic lines due to facial mimetic muscle action, and development of static rhytids.
Although surgery remains an option for treatment, minimally invasive aesthetic procedures
continue to gain popularity with the use of neuromodulators and soft tissue fillers
being the most sought-after procedures. Although these may be used in isolation to
treat specific concerns, they are often combined to address multiple facets of aging.
Multiple different neuromodulators and fillers are commercially available. Although
relatively effective and safe, a thorough understanding of their indications, compositions,
and potential adverse effects is paramount. This article will review the available
aesthetic products for minimally invasive periorbital rejuvenation with botulinum
toxin and injectable fillers. Although it will not focus on other therapies aimed
at facial rejuvenation, such as resurfacing techniques or surgical interventions,
it is important to note that an individualized treatment plan may combine multiple
therapies to optimize patient outcomes and satisfaction.
