For those in San Antonio, TX, Dr. Jessica Belz offers BOTOX along with other non-surgical facial rejuvenation options. She is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and has training in facial, breast, and body procedures. She also has years of hands-on experience administering neurotoxin injections.
Listed below are three signs that BOTOX might be a good choice.
1. Crow’s Feet Are Becoming More Noticeable
Smiling and squinting repeatedly contract the muscles beside your eyes. Over time, the lines created by those movements can become more visible.
BOTOX temporarily reduces muscle activity in selected areas, which can soften crow’s feet and other movement-related wrinkles. Treatment is intended to soften movement-related lines while maintaining a natural-looking result.
2. Your Brows Are Starting to Sit Lower
Changes around the eyes aren’t limited to wrinkles. A descending brow can also make the upper eye area seem heavier.
BOTOX sometimes creates a subtle brow-lifting effect. Small amounts can be placed in muscles that pull the brows downward. Relaxing those muscles allows the brow to sit slightly higher. Injections may also be placed around the outer brow when that area is beginning to droop.
3. You Want Improvement Without Surgery
BOTOX can make sense when your concern is related mainly to muscle movement rather than loose skin or significant volume loss. Because it’s a non-surgical approach, appointments are generally brief, and most everyday activities are resumed soon afterward.
When Does Another Treatment Make More Sense?
Not every aging-eye concern comes from muscle activity. Loose upper-eyelid skin may be better addressed with a surgical option such as blepharoplasty, while facial hollows or volume loss might respond better to dermal fillers. That’s why assessing what’s actually causing the change around your eyes matters before choosing a treatment.
