Botox for crow's feet and wrinkles around the eyes... Inquiries about duration, tolerance, and side effects

 

Hello. I'm a little embarrassed to laugh.

I'm worried about the deep wrinkles and fine lines around my eyes.

 

I'm considering Botox injections because I'm concerned about the fan-shaped wrinkles around my eyes that appear every time I smile. However, as I prepare to undergo the procedure, I have a vague fear of needles in my face, along with a few other concerns. I'd like to seek advice from experienced practitioners and experts.

 

First, let's talk about the actual maintenance period and recommended cycle. I've heard it's usually around six months, but some people I know say their skin loses its strength after just three or four months. I'm wondering if the eye area, a highly mobile area, might lose its strength more quickly, and if a six-month cycle is truly effective.

 

Second, there's the issue of tolerance and aftereffects from repeated treatments. I've heard that if you get Botox too frequently or for too long, you can develop "tolerance," which ultimately renders the treatment completely ineffective.

I'm also concerned that suppressing the muscles around the eyes can lead to side effects like bulging eyes or an unnatural smile, which can lead to awkward facial expressions. I've heard that once you start, you'll have to take the medication for life. Could there be side effects like further sagging skin or weakened muscles?

 

Third, I'm looking into addressing fine wrinkles under the eyes. While Botox is said to effectively address crow's feet, I'd also like to know if Botox alone can also address the fine wrinkles directly under the eyes, or if I need to combine it with other treatments like a skin booster.

This is my first procedure, so I'm worried about every little detail. Could you share your satisfaction level after the procedure and any specific criteria you should consider when choosing a hospital?

 

 

Thank you in advance for your valuable reply.
