Harsh/Angry looking eye area, what can I do to make them softer? (photo)

Yes, botox can help to soften the lines and lift a little.  Be sure you are seeing an experienced injector to ensure you do not get more of a feminine brow shape.  Best of luck to you.  

Thank you for your question!  Your concern is one I hear quite often from my patients.  The area between the eyes (also called the glabella) consists of the skin, which overlies several facial muscles.  These muscles can be treated with Botox (or other neuromodulators such as Dysport or Xeomin), which will help to relax and soften this area.  As the muscles in the glabella relax this can create a slight lift of the brow and reduce a 'harsh or angry' appearance.  Botox is a protein which works by relaxing the muscle fibers, and will last anywhere from 3-4 months.  I would consult with a board certified injector, for a full evaluation and to discuss your concerns and goals. I hope that this helps, -David Gilpin 

Thank you for your question. Botox can certainly address the wrinkling and advanced signs of aging in the eye area. Another option would be a brow lift which can correct forehead lines, giving a refreshed look to the entire face. I suggest that you move forward and consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon.
Best wishes,
