How does under-eye botox work?
Botox for under-eye bags is a treatment that involves injecting a substance called botulinum toxin type A into the upper eyelid muscles. Botox acts on the nervous system, causing the muscles to temporarily relax and work less. Therefore, after injections, it helps reduce the appearance of folds or wrinkles in the skin caused by regular facial expressions, fading the appearance of wrinkles or creases under the eyes and making the skin smoother.
What does under-eye botox help with and who is it suitable for?
Under-eye Botox is a popular procedure. Based on the aforementioned principles, it relaxes the muscles and reduces their activity. This helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles, smoothing and firming the skin. It also reduces crow's feet at the outer corners of the eyes, giving the area a more youthful, refreshed appearance. It also addresses the problem of bulging under-eye circles caused by smiling or squinting (likely a "jelly roll"), and prevents future wrinkles.
Therefore, under-eye Botox is suitable for those who have problems with small wrinkles or under-eye wrinkles caused by facial expressions such as smiling, laughing, winking, or squinting, as well as those who want to address crow's feet. It is also suitable for those who want to reduce under-eye bags and those who want to prevent deep wrinkles in the future. Finally, it is suitable for those who need to solve the problem urgently and want to see immediate results.
Is under-eye botox dangerous?
Under-eye Botox is a highly safe procedure for addressing under-eye problems. It is performed by a skilled physician with knowledge of the anatomy of the muscles around the eyes. This ensures safety, precision in injection location, and dosage. Furthermore, the medication used must meet standards. However, if the injection is performed by an unskilled physician or if counterfeit Botox is used, serious side effects, such as infection, can occur, or vision problems can occur.
