Botox: Q&A
Ask a QuestionHow Effective is Botox for Under Eye Wrinkles?
Hi, there. I'm a 27 year old woman who has unsightly under eye wrinkles. I take pretty good care if my skin.
However, there seems to be nothing I can do to get rid of the creases under my eyes. My makeup settles in them, they are really aging me.
Will Botox help with this and if not what will? Really appreciate any help with this. Thanks

Don't let anyone talk you into eyelid surgery
Dear Leanne
Botox can be used to weaken the lower eyelid orbiclularis that is responsible for making the lower eyelid wrinkles. The problem is that this same bit of muscle also helps hold the lower eyelid up against the eye. Weakening this muscle may smooth the eyelid but the price is usually mild slumping of the lower eyelid margin. This is not a good trade off. Filling the lower eyelid is a good alternative. The product to use is Restylane. An additional option is an appropriate...

Botox and Eyes
The simple answer is: Yes!
The key is to distinguish between wrinkles as a result of movement (smiling for instance) vs at rest. Botox and Dysport help with wrinkles as a result of movement; when used correctly they can widen the eye, relax the wrinkles and give a well-rested look. Fillers can be added to correct any hollowing of the area for a better result.
The key is to be examined by an expert and have the right doses of the right material chosen and injected correctly....

Botox works only 50% of the time for under eye creases
Botox or Dysport only works 50% of the time for under eye creases but when it does it is so nice. Expect it to last 3-4 months at a cost of $300 roughly.

Under Eye (Infraorbital) Wrinkles, Crinkles, and Hollows Respond Well To A Combination of Neuromodulators and Fillers
While crinkles and horizontal wrinkling under the eyes is more common with aging, there are many people who have them from youth. Regardless of age, these problems generally respond well to a combination of simple treatment approaches.
In my experience, the most effective method for nonsurgically rejuvenating this crinkly region under the eyes in a younger person would begin with the use of neuromodulators, such as Botox, Dysport, or Xeomin in order to address any muscle bulging...

How Effective is Botox for Under Eye Wrinkles?
Botox works well for under the eyes. I use about half of the normal dose for this injection. The concern is, of course, causing the orbicularis oculi muscle to weaken and cause drooping of the eyelid.

Botox for the lower lid
There is a reason why Botox has not been approved by the FDA for the lower eyelid wrinkles. It cab be a very difficult area to get a good result and the potential negative effects can be visually bad and take a long time to subside. Remember Botox works by weakening muscle and if you weaken the muscles of the lower lid, you might lessen the wrinkles, but you also might get so much weakening that the lower lid lags down, showing the white of your eye and allowing your cornea to get too dry....

Botox for under eye wrinkles
Well, certainly these wrinkles are not nearly as unsightly as your question implies. But yes, I think Botox would be helpful here but may not get rid of all of the wrinkles which are concerning you.

Botox for under eye wrinkles
Your photograph shows a close-up view of the lower eyelid without showing the lower cheek so I can not see if you are partially smiling. It appears that you might be wearing a demi-smile in this pose. If that is correct, then the levator muscle which is involved during smiling, will create a "bunching up" of skin near the eye. This muscle should not be treated as it will provide an unequal smile and can cause drooping of the corner of the mouth on that side looking like you had a...

Yes, Botox is effective for under eye wrinkles
Botox used in small amounts by someone experienced in the administration of Botox should work very well in that area. I have used Botox in this area in many patients with nice results and no problems. Good luck.
