What should I check before a Botox consultation for fine lines around the eyes that appear when smiling?
2026.11.10 12:35
Hello. I am considering a Botox consultation because of fine lines around my eyes. I am wondering if the consultation criteria differ depending on the specific area, such as the wrinkles that appear next to the outer corners and under the eyes, as shown in the photo. Since the area around the eyes is used for facial expressions, I think being able to smile naturally is the most important factor, rather than just reducing the wrinkles.
I have heard that the approach to facial expression lines differs from those that remain even when at rest. I would like to know how the two are distinguished in the clinic. Rather than judging based solely on photos, I would like a consultation where I can directly examine my facial expressions and skin condition.
1) How do the application of Botox and precautions differ for the outer corners of the eyes and fine lines under the eyes?
2) What should I check during the consultation regarding dosage and treatment location to maintain a natural facial expression?
3) I am wondering if there is a possibility of my eyes becoming dry or my smiling expression changing after eye Botox. Are there any eye-related symptoms or medications I need to mention before the consultation?
4) I would like to know when the effects appear, the typical duration of the results, and the criteria for deciding on the next procedure.
I would also like guidance on precautions to take regarding daily activities, washing my face, and applying makeup if bruising or swelling occurs after the procedure. Rather than deciding on the procedure blindly, I want to first confirm if the care is suitable for my eye area. I would appreciate it if those who have received a consultation could let me know which questions were helpful.

- 01CommentsSince the design for the forehead can vary depending on overall facial proportions, bone structure, and skin condition, it would be helpful to clarify the desired changes and the aesthetics you wish to avoid during a consultation, rather than deciding on the dosage number first. Checking the recovery period for swelling and bruising, as well as the contact guidelines in case of adverse reactions, in advance will also aid in making your decision.230026.11.10
- 02CommentsThe skin around the eyes has a very thin dermis and few sebaceous glands, making it particularly prone to fine lines and loss of elasticity during dry transitional seasons. Wrinkles at the outer corners of the eyes that crease when making facial expressions can be naturally alleviated without making facial expressions look unnatural by administering small, micro-sized doses of eye Botox. On the other hand, for fine lines under the eyes, skin tightness, and reduced elasticity, skin boosters containing PN regenerative ingredients, such as Eye Rejuran (Rejuran Eye) or Juvelook, are effective in strengthening the skin barrier. We recommend consulting to combine these two treatments depending on the depth of the affected area.390026.11.09
- 03CommentsLifting firmly tightens sagging skin without artificial changes, resulting in a very natural and clean appearance even for men. You can feel a noticeable improvement in your jawline after just a single treatment, and regardless of age, you can achieve excellent results by adjusting the energy level to match your current degree of skin sagging.170026.11.10

- 02CommentsI also got a consultation because I was told I looked tired due to defined lines under my cheekbones when I was expressionless. They told me that nasolabial folds need to be considered in conjunction with cheek hollowing or sagging. Since Botox alone might not solve the problem, make sure to ask about concerns regarding facial movements during your consultation. As someone who had a reality check to see if massages could smooth them out, I think it's faster to just see a professional.4200026.11.04
- 03CommentsI think it is a really prudent and good attitude to consider movement discomfort first rather than deciding based solely on the results! If you ask about movement during meals and monitoring options during the consultation, you won't regret it.900026.11.03
- 01CommentsGetting forehead fillers definitely has a great effect on improving wrinkles. I recommend getting Botox at the same time.1390026.10.12
