Who Can Get Botox Around the Eyes?
Botox around the eyes is frequently preferred, especially by women over the age of 30. Wrinkles, which deepen as a result of aging and leave permanent scars, are among the types of deformations we encounter most frequently due to the sensitive structure of this area. Anyone who is not satisfied with their appearance due to wrinkles and who wants to rejuvenate, renew and refresh themselves can have botox around the eyes, if the specialist doctor deems it appropriate.
What Causes Wrinkles Around the Eyes?
The biggest cause of wrinkles around the eyes is advancing age. As we age, the skin loses its elastic structure. Wrinkles and sagging begin to appear. Wrinkles around the eyes leave scars around the eyes that deepen as we age. Especially after the age of 30, wrinkles become increasingly evident. The person’s age begins to be fully revealed. At this point, botox applications around the eyes are among the treatment methods we frequently recommend to our patients. These wrinkles, which can be easily prevented, cause many women to feel worried about their appearance. Every woman wants to feel younger and more beautiful. From this perspective, we can say that botox around the eyes has a very positive effect on psychology.
How to Apply Crow’s Feet Botox?
Botox application to eliminate crow’s feet aims to prevent or reduce overwork of the muscles around the eyes. It is especially effective in treating wrinkles caused by excessive use of facial expressions. Application of Botox treatment with injections causes some of our patients to avoid treatment. However, the needles used in botox treatment are thin and no pain is felt during application. During our eye area botox applications, even many of our patients who were afraid of needles were able to get botox easily. Botox around the eyes, which is a painless procedure, can be applied with cold pads and anesthetic creams. Thus, the sensation on the skin is reduced and the patient is ensured to be comfortable. In cases where wrinkles are common outside the eye area, botox can be applied to the entire face to achieve a flawless appearance.
How long does the effect of Botox around the eyes last?
Assoc. Dr. Sedef YÜCEL states that this period may vary depending on the patient’s skin structure and the characteristics of the procedure. Many of our patients have stated that they can see the effects clearly within 3 to 7 days. In rare cases, this period may extend to 7 – 10 days. The person’s skin structure and characteristics are decisive in seeing the effect in a short time. Contrary to popular belief, Botox is not a permanent application. Its effect on the eye area depends on the individual characteristics of the person. The person may use too many facial expressions when smiling or speaking. Or it may have an elastic skin structure. In these patients, botox application around the eyes will be less permanent. However, most of our patients agree that botox is permanent for at least 4 – 4.5 months.
Botolinum toxin is a neurotoxic protein produced by the bacteria Clostridium botulinum and related species. It causes soft paralysis by preventing the release of the acetylcholine neurotransmitter from axon endings. Infection with this bacterium causes botulism disease.
Mesotherapy is the technique of applying vitamins, minerals, amino acids or enzymes alone or usually as a mixture to the middle layer of the skin by microinjection. The substances to be injected are selected according to the person and the person’s wishes. Mesotherapy can be used for skin tightening, lifting, anti-aging, blemish treatment and scar treatment in the facial area.
Bichectomy, one of the aesthetic operations frequently used by those who want to achieve an ideal facial appearance, is performed to make facial lines proportionate. In some cases, even if the person is at the ideal weight, he or she may appear overweight due to the amount of fat in the existing facial structure. The fat tissue located in the middle area of the cheeks is called buccal fat tissue. This fatty tissue, located between the facial muscles, is anatomically located in the lower region of the cheekbones and is thought to contribute to sucking functions in babies. The size of this fatty tissue is one of the main factors affecting the size of the face. With aging, buccal fat tissue generally tends to decrease.
We often use fillers called hyaluronic acid in the face area, especially on the lips. Hyaluronic acid is actually a building block found in our body that has water retention properties. When this substance is depleted in the skin and subcutaneous tissue under the influence of age and environmental factors, it causes some changes that manifest themselves as volume loss. To put it simply, with filler injections, we aim to increase the amount of this water-retaining molecule in our body.
