Understanding Botox Around the Eyes
What is Botox?
Botox works by temporarily paralysing the muscles it’s injected into. This paralysis reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines by preventing the muscles from contracting. When administered around the eyes, Botox can significantly diminish the look of crow’s feet, under-eye wrinkles, and frown lines, contributing to a more youthful and vibrant appearance.
The Science Behind Botox
Botox involves blocking the nerve signals responsible for muscle contraction. This action smooths out the skin’s surface, making wrinkles less apparent. The effects of Botox are temporary, lasting about 3 to 6 months, depending on the individual’s muscle activity and metabolism.
Regular maintenance treatments are required to preserve the results. At Eden Medical we also offer a review 2 weeks post Botox to see how your treatment has performed.
Areas Around the Eye for Botox Injections
Crow's Feet
No, we’re not talking about the birds! Crow’s feet are the fine lines that radiate from the corners of the eyes and are among the first signs of ageing. Botox can effectively soften these lines, enhancing the eye area’s overall appearance. Crow’s feet are one of the most popular areas for anti-wrinkle injections behind the forehead.
Under-Eye Wrinkles
Eyebrow Lift
