Botulinum toxin mainly works on muscle and not ligaments, if injected specifically to a ligament structure it is unlikely to have any effect, but of course if it spills over to surrounding muscle structure it may have unwanted effects.
Fillers like Belotero, Volbella, and Restylane Silk are good for improving under the eyes, but keep in mind that a combination approach will give the most improvement. My patients try to get non-surgical treatments to avoid surgery, so we use fillers, lasers, microneedling/PRP and stem cells. I suggest consulting with an expert to develop a treatment plan best suited for you. Best, Dr. Emer
Botox is used to affect the ability of a muscle to contract. This would not work on ligaments. There are many treatments available to improve the tear trough area. The most common is fillers. But there are other treatments to improve skin tone and texture such as Morpheus8. See an expert injector near you to learn more.
Ligaments do not contract like muscles and therefore are not affected by Botox. There are many other treatments for the undereye area including PRP injections and dermal fillers. Filler placed in the cheek area can often improve the undereye area without directly treating it too.

Thank you for your question. In my opinion, I do not see any problems with receiving Botox injections to your forehead followed by a forearm tattoo the next day; however, I would recommend speaking with your injector about any concerns you may have.
Hello, and thank you for your question. As a neuromodulator, Botox works by relaxing muscles to smooth out lines and wrinkles. While injecting it in the brow area can create a subtle lift, Botox does not have the ability to pull or stretch the skin to mimic the results that a facelift can...
