Tired-looking eyes can make you appear older or more fatigued than you feel. At DS Skin & Lips Medical Spa, we offer advanced Botox treatments specifically tailored to soften fine lines and revitalize the delicate area under the eyes. Whether you’re dealing with wrinkles, early signs of aging, or mild under-eye bags, Botox may offer a non-surgical, effective solution.
Below, we answer the most common questions about under-eye Botox to help you determine if it’s the right treatment for you:
Yes, Botox can be used safely under the eyes when administered by an experienced and qualified provider. The under-eye area is very delicate, so precision and expertise are essential. At our practice, our skilled injectors carefully assess your facial anatomy and use conservative doses to ensure natural-looking, safe results without compromising function or expression.
Botox relaxes the muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles, those caused by repetitive movement such as squinting or smiling. When injected under the eyes, Botox can reduce the appearance of fine lines, create a smoother texture, and provide a more rested and youthful look. While Botox doesn’t remove puffiness or deep hollows, it can help soften the crepey skin that often forms in this area with age.
The number of units varies depending on the individual’s anatomy and desired outcome. Typically, patients receive between 2 – 6 units of Botox per side for the under-eye area. A thorough consultation is necessary to determine the appropriate dose while ensuring safe and effective results tailored to your unique facial structure.
Botox is best for treating fine lines caused by muscle movement, while dermal fillers are used to restore volume and correct hollowing under the eyes. In some cases, a combination of both may be recommended for optimal results. At our practice, we take a customized approach to every treatment plan, helping you understand the best solution—or blend of solutions—for your aesthetic goals.
Most patients notice results within 3 – 5 days after treatment, with full effects visible at around 10 – 14 days. Results typically last 3 – 4 months, after which maintenance treatments can help preserve your refreshed appearance.
Botox is not designed to treat pigmentation or fat pads, which are the primary causes of dark circles and puffiness. However, it can improve the appearance of fine lines and slightly tighten the under-eye area, which may make dark circles or bags appear less prominent. If discoloration or significant puffiness is your main concern, we may recommend combining Botox with other treatments such as fillers or laser therapy.
At DS Skin & Lips Medical Spa, our goal is to help you look and feel your best with subtle, effective enhancements tailored to your needs.
