Does Botox cause thinning of the skin or a reduction in collagen over time? I am considering it for under eye wrinkles.
Answer: No side effects for Botox used under the eyes Botox is quite safe and poses no problems for use under the eyes for wrinkles at a cost of $300. There is no thinning of the skin nor loss of collagen formation. Botos lasts 3-4 months. Go ahead and do it.

Answer: Botox for undereye wrinkles won't affect the collagen The only risk that is different for injecting the undereye wrinkles with Botox is that the injector must be very careful with dosing, placement, and selecting the correct candidate. If you don't have strong enough lower eyelid tension, you can get ectropian, which is when the lower lip everts. Although this will be temporary, it's a problem for several weeks with tearing and possibly drying of the eye. No skin issues can be caused by this injection.

Answer: Botox for under eye Botox treatments are not typically associated with a change in collagen or thinning of the skin. Botox effects are always temporary. The most common side effect from Botox around the eyes is ptosis and mild temporary bruising.
