How Does Botox Work for Under Eye Wrinkles?

Botox is a neuromodulator that relaxes facial muscles, preventing excessive movement that leads to wrinkles. When used for under-eye wrinkles, Botox:

✅ Smooths fine lines beneath the eyes by relaxing overactive muscles
✅ Prevents further deepening of wrinkles over time
✅ Enhances skin firmness and elasticity
✅ Provides a refreshed, youthful look without affecting natural expressions

Results typically become visible within 3-7 days and last 3-4 months before a touch-up is needed.

What to Expect During Botox Treatment for Under Eye Wrinkles

✔️ Consultation & Facial Assessment – A specialist evaluates the skin condition and determines the ideal Botox dosage for natural-looking results.
✔️ Numbing & Preparation – A topical anesthetic may be applied to minimize discomfort.
✔️ Injection Process – Botox is precisely injected into the muscles beneath the eyes to smooth fine lines.
✔️ Post-Treatment Care – Avoid rubbing or massaging the area for a few hours after treatment.

Is Botox for Under Eye Wrinkles Effective?

🔹 Minimally invasive, quick procedure with no downtime
🔹 Smooths fine lines while preserving natural facial movement
🔹 Prevents further wrinkle development over time

For deeper wrinkles or hollow under-eye areas, Botox can be combined with dermal fillers to restore volume and achieve optimal rejuvenation.
