Will BOTOX® Smooth Out My Under Eye Wrinkles?

The skin around our eyes is one of the first places we notice fine lines and wrinkles. This delicate area is prone to many aesthetic issues, including the appearance of sagging bags that only become deeper over time. BOTOX is a popular form of eye rejuvenation that produces a younger and more refreshed appearance.

Are you interested in learning about BOTOX in Boston? Double board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Jaimie DeRosa can examine your problem areas and create a custom treatment plan when you schedule an assessment. The team at DeRosa Center Facial Plastic Surgery & Med Spa proudly handles aging eyes and more through advanced cosmetic injectables.

Common signs of aging eyes

Signs of aging around the eyes can give you a tired or worn-out appearance. You may notice Crow’s feet, or small wrinkles that begin at the corners of your eyes and spread outward. Under eye wrinkles, dark circles, and bags are also common complaints that we hear from men and women entering middle age.

Sometimes, aging eyes are caused by genetics or overexposure to ultraviolet rays from the sun. However, the main culprit seems to be loss of collagen production over time. Collagen is mainly responsible for keeping our skin firm and supported. Repetitive movements, like squinting and frowning, also lead to creases in the top layer of skin.

BOTOX is the name for botulinum toxin type A. Wrinkle relaxers like BOTOX can take years off of your face and give your eyes a more vibrant look without undergoing surgery. The product is administered directly into the skin and weakens certain targeted muscles. Once the muscles are relaxed, wrinkles that formed from expression lines will begin to subside.

A solution for surgery

Eye surgery is one common way to reduce lines and under eye wrinkles. These procedures lift and tighten wrinkled or loose tissue. However, most people with aging eyes are not ready to turn to solutions like plastic surgery. Surgery is far more complex and leads to extended recovery times. Instead of putting your personal life on hold, DeRosa Center Facial Plastic Surgery & Med Spa offers state-of-the-art injectables, like BOTOX in Boston. No need to go under the knife!

What to expect from BOTOX

BOTOX is usually administered into the areas of concern. Eye rejuvenation only takes a few minutes and requires little to no downtime. Our regular patients schedule appointments in between meetings or during their lunch breaks. You can resume normal activities like work immediately after your office visit. Makeup can even be applied after treatment to cover temporary side effects, like redness.

Many patients see refreshed results from BOTOX soon after their appointment, with full outcomes showing after a couple of weeks. Results last between 3 – 4 months in the average patient, so remember to call our clinic for follow-up appointments as needed. We can make great recommendations based on your skin condition and desired results.

From the moment you walk in - one feels at ease - Coleen is the best. My previous IPL treatments have rejuvenated my skin and my self esteem. I'm very happy with the results so far with my most recent dermo abrasion consult and the process was so painless thanks to the amazing, Maggie. I highly recommend DeRosa to everyone! Rest assured you are in good hands at DeRosa Med Spa!

The entire staff was amazing and made the experience so easy and stress free. I had researched the procedure for the last three years visiting many plastic surgeons in and out of state but never felt comfortable enough to move forward. This is a big decision and I had to feel confident in my surgeon. The moment I met Dr DeRosa I knew she was the right surgeon for my procedure. Dr DeRosa is kind, patient, professional, board certified, knowledgeable, compassionate, you can tell she loves what she does. I’m so happy with my results! I received a partial facelift and a chin implant. With plans of one more procedure in the coming months. Thank you DeRosa Center!
