The first signs of aging often start around the eyes. As we age, the wrinkles known as "crow's feet" that form around the eyes can alter facial expressions and lead to an older appearance. Botox treatments around the eyes are among the most frequently performed procedures in our clinic. With this treatment, both existing wrinkles are addressed and the formation of new ones is prevented.
Botox for the eye area is particularly preferred by individuals over the age of 30. Due to the effects of aging, the deepening wrinkles in this region, combined with its delicate nature, are among the most common issues we encounter. Anyone dissatisfied with their appearance due to these wrinkles, and who desires to look younger and better, can opt for botox around the eyes, provided the physician finds it suitable.
One of the primary reasons for wrinkles around the eyes is advancing age. As we age, the skin loses its elasticity, leading to wrinkle formation and sagging. Especially after the age of 30, these wrinkles become more pronounced. At this juncture, we often recommend botox treatment for the eye area to our patients. These wrinkles, which can be easily prevented, can cause concerns regarding one's appearance. From this perspective, it can be said that botox around the eyes also has a significantly positive effect on psychology.
In the botox treatment for crow's feet, the goal is to reduce the overactivity of the muscles around the eyes. It's a highly effective method for treating wrinkles caused by excessive facial expressions. The needles used in botox treatment are very fine, ensuring that the patient does not experience pain during the procedure. This pain-free application can also be done using anesthetic creams, further reducing any sensation on the skin and ensuring the comfort of the patient. If wrinkles are prevalent beyond the eye area, a full-face botox treatment can be considered.
The duration of the botox effect can vary based on the patient's skin structure and the specifics of the procedure. Contrary to popular belief, botox is not a permanent treatment. Its effect around the eyes depends on individual characteristics. However, many of our patients report that the effects of botox last for at least 4 – 6 months. After botox is applied, its effects start to show within 3-4 days. However, a full two weeks is required for the full effect to set in.
Botox for the eye area is a procedure that is typically repeated every 4-6 months. If you're looking for a reliable place to get botox around the eyes, you can contact Assoc. Prof. Dr. Emin Özlü.
