I would like to get a consultation for skin Botox because of fine lines around my eyes.
I am an office worker in my mid-40s. Lately, I am really bothered by the fine lines that form around my eyes in a fan shape whenever I smile.
On top of that, I have thick dark circles, so by the afternoon, my face looks incredibly tired. I even got asked at work if I was sick, haha.
I've tried changing my eye cream and going to bed early, but it's not getting as good as I expected, so I'm looking into cosmetic procedures.
I heard about Skin Botox from people around me, and I was told that unlike regular Botox, it is injected into the shallow layer of the skin. I am wondering if Skin Botox is possible in areas with thin skin, such as around the eyes. My biggest concern is whether my facial expressions will look unnatural or if my under-eyes will appear saggy.
I also want to know how long the effects usually last and how often I should schedule the skin Botox treatments.
May I also ask during the consultation if dark circles need to be managed separately?

- 01CommentsI also have a habit of furrowing my brows when concentrating or looking at my smartphone, so I tried it as a preventative measure and was quite satisfied! Even before the creases deepen, slightly relaxing the muscle tension helps correct facial expression habits. Usually, you can feel the tension gradually draining about 1 to 2 weeks after the procedure, and the results seem to last for about 3 to 6 months. Since it is around the eyes, you might be worried about side effects. I recommend asking during your consultation if they thoroughly check your natural eyebrow muscle movements and eyebrow position first, and starting with a small amount to avoid an excessive treatment!3722026.11.11
- 02CommentsI've seen a lot of talk saying that it's better to manage frown lines before they deepen. If it's your first time, I think it would be a good idea to start with a small amount to see if your facial expressions look natural.580026.11.09

- 03CommentsI 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.4250026.11.04
