Under Eyes BOTOX^®

Under eyes BOTOX^® or “jelly roll BOTOX^®” works similarly to other types of BOTOX^® in that it relaxes muscles to diminish wrinkles or other cosmetic concerns. It can shrink the muscle that appears when you smile and make the texture of the area appear smoother. Under eyes BOTOX^® contains botulinum toxin as its active ingredient and blocks the nerve impulses that cause muscles to contract, thereby preventing horizontal wrinkles or muscle bulges that show under your eyes when you smile or squint.

When it comes to addressing under-eye concerns—such as fine lines, wrinkles, and hollows—the choice between under eye BOTOX^® and fillers depends on the specific issues you want to target. Under eyes BOTOX^® and fillers serve distinct purposes. These treatments are complementary but not interchangeable. Facial fillers work by adding volume to the tear trough area for contouring as a way of filling in hollow areas and improving dark circles associated with volume loss. However, fillers won’t prevent muscle movements. Under eyes BOTOX^® prevents the muscle movements that cause dynamic wrinkles but won’t add volume.

Under eyes BOTOX^® may be effective for someone who wants to reduce wrinkles below the eyes or muscles that stick out, but the botulinum toxin type A treatment may not be helpful for those who have puffy eyes or sagging around the eyelids. If swelling or excess skin is what’s causing under eye bags, BOTOX^® won’t be effective.

BOTOX^® is a highly versatile treatment. An array of BOTOX^® injection sites and techniques exist for enhancing various areas of the face in addition to BOTOX^® for under eye wrinkles, including BOTOX^® for forehead wrinkles, BOTOX^® between the eyes, smile lines, bunny lines, and crow’s feet, which are some of the most common types of BOTOX^® face treatments. BOTOX^® brow lift—sometimes referred to as a BOTOX^® eye lift or hooded eye BOTOX^®—helps to subtly lift the eyebrows for a younger, brighter appearance. Jawline or masseter BOTOX^® can provide a slimmer, more oval, or V-shaped lower face by reducing bulky muscles, while BOTOX^® for marionette lines or DAO muscle BOTOX® lifts downturned mouth corners, BOTOX® for the chin smooths dimpling there, BOTOX® for the lips allows the upper lip to unfurl and for lip lines creates a smoother look, BOTOX® for the neck can reduce banding, and trapezius BOTOX® can give the neck and shoulders a leaner look. The injectable is also commonly used for medical applications such as BOTOX® for sweating or BOTOX^® for migraines to help reduce the frequency of chronic headaches and BOTOX^® for TMJ to relax the jaw, reducing symptoms associated with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction.
