After years of squinting due to bright lights and the sun, the dynamic wrinkles under our eyes begin to deepen. These age-related changes can make patients look less alert and older than they really are or feel inside. Luckily, there’s a non-surgical solution that can help. Find out how using BOTOX for undereye wrinkles can restore a more vibrant appearance.
How Does BOTOX Work?
Often considered by patients to be a magical anti-aging solution, BOTOX is an injectable that reduces the appearance of dynamic wrinkles. It works by temporarily paralyzing muscles, for about 3 to 4 months on average.
Because of this, BOTOX treatments aren’t permanent but are considered a great, minimally-invasive maintenance procedure and an effective alternative to plastic surgery.
Treating Your Under Eye Wrinkles With BOTOX
The tissue directly underneath your eyes is sensitive. And if you’re squeamish when it comes to needles, we understand that you may at first be hesitant to have BOTOX injected in this site. But trust us, the results are worth it!
Dr. Jaffer will prepare a personalized treatment plan for you based on your unique anatomy and how deep your undereye wrinkles are. Typically, physicians like Dr. Jaffer prefer to use a small amount of BOTOX in the under eye area. This usually means that Dr. Jaffer will inject anywhere between 1 and 3 units of BOTOX into your under eye muscles.
Patients are often pleased to learn that there is no downtime when it comes to BOTOX injections. You can literally have the injections performed over your lunch break, and return to work or your other regular daily activities the same day!
As far as results go, most of Dr. Jaffer’s patients have a noticeable reduction in their under eye wrinkles in 1 to 2 weeks, and some even see results in as little as a few days!*
Benefits of BOTOX for Under Eye Wrinkles
Choosing BOTOX for under-eye wrinkles offers numerous benefits, including:
- Non-Surgical: No incisions or anesthesia are required.
- Minimal Discomfort: The procedure involves only minor discomfort at the injection sites.
- Quick and Convenient: The treatment is fast and fits easily into a busy schedule.
- Natural-Looking Results: BOTOX enhances your appearance without making it obvious that you’ve had work done.
- No Downtime: Resume your daily activities immediately after the procedure.
The Power of Fillers
In many cases, pairing BOTOX with dermal fillers can provide even more robust results. Dermal fillers add volume beneath the skin, filling in under-eye hollows or reducing the appearance of puffy bags.
