Is Botox safe to use for crows feet, hooded eyes and 11's?

Hi. I agree that the goal with addressing hooded eyes with Botox would be treating only the depressor muscles to give a lifted, more open-eyed appearance and prevent a heavy brow. If you are not ready for a surgical intervention, Botox injections in the glabella (11 lines) and crow's feet can help temporarily achieve this and treating the tail of the brow on the lower side may also help with the brow asymmetry. It's always best to have an in-person consultation so that the recommendations can be best individualized to fit your needs and goals. Best of luck!

Botox was first FDA approved in 1989 and has been widely used as the most common cosmetic injectable treatment. With over 35 years of treatments and millions upon millions of injections it is considered quite safe. Botox can definitely help the 11's and crow's feet. It would depend pn the amount of hooding and your anatomy if you would be a candidate for forehead (or frontal muscle) botox.

For significant improvement, hooded eyelids require surgery if there is enough skin. For nonsurgical treatments: Radiofrequency (Thermage or Venus Legacy/Viva), injectable fillers, and a Botox brow lift can help contour the eyebrows and lift the eyelid skin. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with an experienced cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer.
