While many people consider their eyes to be their most expressive, flattering facial feature, aging can etch prominent wrinkles like brow furrows and crow’s feet, detracting from your appearance. Aesthetic medicine can resolve these issues with the most popular cosmetic treatment worldwide.
Botox relaxes facial muscles, preventing repeated movement to soften or eliminate dynamic wrinkles. Smiling, laughing, and squinting can cause premature signs of aging in these areas over time. Botox works to smooth over these facial flaws, resulting in a youthful facial complexion.
Botox is an FDA-cleared injectable designed to treat crow’s feet and frown lines. In some cases, it can improve eye symmetry for a more balanced appearance. In addition, a skilled Botox injector can make minor adjustments to the areas around your eyes to create your desired look.
The Botox Treatment
Botox has become one of the most popular anti-aging solutions in cosmetic medicine. Dr. de la Pedraja can apply the product to almost any facial feature, including the forehead, eyebrows, near the eyes, neck, chin, and around the mouth. In addition, Botox is a highly versatile option that can deliver optimal results without surgery.
Botox injections are quick and convenient. First, we clean the treatment site and apply a topical anesthetic if necessary. Then Dr. de la Pedraja injects small amounts of Botox into targeted areas with a fine needle. Next, he will determine the number of injections, according to your needs and goals. The treatment is an in-office procedure completed in less than half an hour, often done during the patient’s lunch break.
An appealing Botox benefit is that it requires no downtime or significant activity restrictions after your treatment session. Following your injections, you can return to work or your regular routine. Cold compresses may be necessary to reduce swelling. Dr. de la Pedraja suggests you refrain from strenuous activities for several hours after treatment.
Treatment Areas
Areas of concern Botox addresses include:
- Crow’s feet around the eyes
- The “11 lines” that form between the eyebrows
- Worry lines across the forehead
- Smile lines
- A sagging brow
- Bunny lines on your nose
- Lip lines
- Droopy jawlines
- Downturned corners of the mouth
Botox and Dermal Fillers
Often, patients choose to combine undereye dermal fillers with Botox to add volume to the tear trough areas beneath the eyes. One treatment session can fill undereye hollows and minimize those circles and dark shadows. Dermal fillers can also augment your facial contours and add volume to plump the cheeks and lips. Combining these injections can result in a comprehensive improvement, often referred to as a non-surgical facelift.
