I was really excited two weeks ago because I was getting botox done for my eyes. I am disappointed that it did not make me look any younger at all! I am going back for a 2 week follow up but expect not to get instant results like I was told. When I look at before and after pictures the results look excellent and people with the wrinkles under the eyes look like they have diminished! They told me there was nothing they could do for my deep wrinkles underneath my eyes?! Disappointed!
Answer: Botox does not treat under eye wrinkles Botox, when properly injected, does create a more youthful appearance. It can elevate sagging brows, lift the outer edges of the eyelids, reduce the severity of crow's feet, etc. However, if you have deep wrinkles or bags under the eyes, the treatment of choice would be Restylane. I don't know where you were treated, but any board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon would have a variety of fillers or lasers in his arsenal.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Botox and a younger look
Botox is injected into the muscle. The muscle stops moving so much, and the wrinkle on top of it usually smooths out a bit. Like any treatment, some will get a great result, and some, not so much. It sounds like you have extra skin under the eye. Botox is not a great tool for this. It is a usually good tool for the area between the eyebrows. Best to see a couple of board certified surgeons who operate on the lower lids and see what they think.

Answer: Re: Botox for Looking Younger
Botox is intended to relax the muscles that contribute to the formation of wrinkles. And this can help individuals look younger (see video).
Botox is really not recommended for treating under eye wrinkles, which primarily develop from sun damage as opposed to overly active muscles.
However there are other options that can help counteract the damage caused by UV rays. This is done by helping the skin to develop new forms of collagen. Fraxel laser systems can help in this regard. Also you may want to consider Radiesse as an undereye injection. It works as a wrinkle filler. But it also helps promote the development of new collagen.
Ask your dermatologist about these options.

Answer: Botox does not treat the lower eyelid wrinkles
Botox can work well for frown lines between the eyebrows in the glabella and the crows feet, but there can be complications when it is used in the lower eyelids, both swelling and lowering of the eyelid. deep wrinkles of the lower eyelids are best treated by laser resurfacing or a skin blepharoplasty (excision of redundant skin), or chemical peel. There can be complications with these treatments so seek out an experienced dermatologic or plastic or oculoplastic surgeon for consultation.

Answer: Botox is not really good for the under eye area.
Botox to the under eye area can weaken the lower eyelid and actually make you look less well rested. Remember that these treatments are as much art as science. Can they make you look younger? No doubt. However improperly performed, the effects can be very problematic.
