The Ultimate Botox under Eyes Guide
2
Introduction

• According to a 2015 study by the American society
  of plastic surgeons (ASPS), over 5 million botox
  procedures are done on a yearly basis. So, Botox
  procedures are not new in the beauty world. But
  before we go any further, its important to know
  what botox is.
• By definition, botox is a purified bacteria toxin
  (botulinum) that helps to treat wrinkles on the
  face. Essentially, the botulinum bacteria freeze
  your muscles so as to get rid of unusual lines
  that form from different facial expressions. It
  works by interrupting nerve signals at the point
  of injection.
• Basically, the muscles affected are temporarily
  paralyzed and this result in the softening or
  clearance of wrinkles. Globally, botox is common
  with treating wrinkles on the cheeks, the upper
  face, and the lower face. However, its not
  common with the under eyes. Apparently, this is
  the part that is most hit by wrinkles and circles
  but most people are too scared to consider botox.
  This is understandable considering that there are
  risks involved.
• Here is the ultimate guide that youll find
  useful in deciding if under eyes botox is good
  for you.

Botox vs dermal fillers

• There are several similarities between under eyes
  Botox and filers (dermal fillers). The most
  obvious ones are
• Both procedures involve the injection of an
  anti-wrinkle substance under your eyes.
• Both can be used to effectively correct wrinkles
  under your eyes and circles around them.
• Both procedures are minimally invasive and thus
  do not require hospitalization.
• Both are fda-approved anti-aging procedures. They
  are meant to give you a youthful appearance.
• Both procedures are prone to side effects like
  redness, swelling, itching, bruising, scarring,
  and vision problems.

6

• Both are contraindicated for expectant and
  breastfeeding individuals.
• However, despite having a number of things in
  common, these two anti-aging procedures differ in
  three major ways
• 1. Substance used In under eyes botox, the
  substance injected is botulinum bacteria and is
  meant to freeze the treated part as a way to
  soften it and to clear wrinkles. In dermal
  fillers, the substances injected under the eyes
  are mostly hyaluronic acid or calcium
  hydroxyapatite. These substances are meant to add
  volume under your eyes and not to freeze the
  part. Other substances used as dermal fillers are
  polylactic acid and polyalkylimide. Each of the
  fillers suits a specific under eye condition and
  so you should first consult your doctor before
  deciding on any.

7

• 2 . Time of action Normally, a under eyes botox
  treatment will last you 3-4 months. Dermal
  fillers, on the other hand, will last you for at
  least 6 months. There are a few options which may
  work for 2 years. However, this does not mean
  that dermal fillers are the better option because
  of this advantage.
• 3. Working effect Under eyes botox treatments
  are essentially meant to treat wrinkles caused by
  expressions such as smiling and frowning. They
  are called dynamic wrinkles. The treatment is not
  a one-time treatment that will clear the wrinkles
  on one appointment, so youll have to consider
  doing follow-ups. As for dermal fillers, they are
  primarily meant to fill up shallow spaces under
  your eyes to soften recessed scars and to pump up
  thin lips. In addition, the treatment can be used
  to remove circles around your eyes and to treat
  static wrinkles. The wrinkles are mostly because
  of sagging skin, especially around the lower
  eyelid area.

8
The bonus

• Inasmuch as the substance injected during under
  eyes botox differ from those used as dermal
  fillers, there is the option of combining both
  approaches if you are looking to correct both
  static and dynamic wrinkles. You just have to
  find the best expert that will perform both
  treatments safely to guarantee the best results.

9
The best candidate for the procedure

• Usually, under eyes botox is suitable for most
  people who are 18-65 years. So, its not
  recommended for kids and for older individuals
  above 65 years since aging to them is a natural
  thing. Other cases where the procedure is
  contraindicated are
• Individuals who are allergic to any botulinum
  ingredient or human albumin.
• Individuals with a uti (urinary tract infection)
  or urinary inconsistency.
• Expectant and breastfeeding mothers.
• Individuals with an infection under the eyes.
• Individuals with a neuromuscular condition.
• Asthmatic individuals and those with breathing
  difficulties.

10

• Overall, there are specific times that under eyes
  botox is advisable. For example, its recommended
  when wrinkles under your eyes and circles around
  them start to bother you. In addition, its
  recommended when you experience premature signs
  of aging. In this case, you can consider botox
  for all other parts and not just for under the
  eyes. The other consideration is a condition like
  a face twitching or TMJ. You can go for under
  eyes botox in such cases.

11
Can it help under eyes wrinkles?

• Before anything, you have to note that botox only
  treats dynamic wrinkles and not static wrinkles.
  So, yes botox can help wrinkles under your eyes
  since they fall under the dynamic category. As
  for circles around your eyes, they can also be
  treated. However, the process is a gradual one
  and does not guarantee permanent effects. Youll
  need repeated botox sessions to completely remove
  eye wrinkles and circles.
• Essentially, each treatment is meant to last you
  for at least three months. Thus, youll have to
  do the procedure after every three months for
  maximum results. In case you are looking to
  improve plumpness under your eyes, botox will not
  help you but dermal fillers will. Therefore, you
  should talk to your practitioner about the
  possibility of adding dermal filler to your botox
  routine if you are targeting more plumpness.

12
What to expect after a botox under eyes
procedure?

• There are two ways to look at this. On one hand,
  you should expect positive results from your
  under eyes botox. In this case, the wrinkles
  under your eyes should start to disappear. This
  should also be the case with circles around your
  eyes. However, the positive effects do not
  register immediately. They take time. On the
  other hand, there is the likelihood of
  experiencing side effects that are normally
  short-lived. They include headaches, nausea, dry
  mouth, and neck pain.

13
How long will it take for the procedure to work?

• Under eyes botox is essentially a lunchtime
  treatment. So, you should expect the injection to
  be over in 10 minutes. However, the results do
  not show up immediately. It may take you a day or
  two before you can start feeling anything.
  Optimum results will be noticed after a month.
  This is when the part under your eyes will start
  feeling soft and the circles around the eyes will
  start clearing significantly. After three months,
  the effects will start to wear off and this is
  when you should repeat the procedure.

14
Botox mistakes and how to avoid them

• According to ASPS, under eyes botox is generally
  a safe procedure but its not free from side
  effects. Often, the effects are due to mistakes
  by the expert (which are very rare) or by the
  candidate.
• Mistakes by the candidate
• Scratching the treated part This may result to
  side effects like bruising, redness, and swelling
  under the eyes. There are also cases where the
  candidate feels pain and itchiness around the
  treated area.
• You should avoid scratching under your eyes after
  having botox, no matter how itchy it feels. The
  ASPS advise against massaging the surrounding
  areas after the procedure to prevent adverse
  reactions.

15

• Doing repeated sessions over a short period
  ideally, under eyes botox is supposed to be done
  after three or four months. However, some
  patients become impatient and so they consider
  repeating the procedure sooner so as to realize
  quick results. Nonetheless, things do not always
  go their way and they display side effects like
  blurry vision, numbness, and scarring. According
  to ASPS, these effects are as a result of the
  bodys antibodies acting against the botox toxin.
  These issues, nevertheless, occur in less than 1
  of the candidates.
• You should learn to repeat the sessions as
  recommended by your expert (that is after 3-4
  months).

16

• Mistakes by the expert
• Ptosis (botox injection going to facial
  features) This mistake happens when the
  injection is improperly delivered, so it ends up
  in the eyebrows and eyelids. In this case, the
  facial features droop. It can be avoided by
  picking the right expert to perform the procedure
  on you. The reputation of the expert should be
  commendable for consideration.
• Facial droop This is a condition where the upper
  lip area becomes paralyzed after having a botox
  procedure. Its usually as a result of the
  injection taking the wrong turn. It can be
  corrected by prescriptions once you talk to your
  expert about it.

17
General care practices

• Avoid using blood-thinning prescriptions like
  aspirin and ibuprofen as they may cause bruising
  after under eyes botox.
• Keep off vitamin e supplement and alcohol a day
  before the procedure as they also promote
  bruising.
• Share your medical history with the expert before
  the procedure so that you can avoid all possible
  complications.
• Try exercising the treated part by gently making
  facial expressions.
• Apply ice to the bruised and inflamed area to
  soothe the painful feeling.
• Avoid using facial treatments on the affected
  part as they may aggravate the side effects.
• Keep off make up for the first two weeks.

18
What to do in case of a serious post-botox
problem

• Whenever you experience an under eyes botox
  problem that you believe is serious, you should
  talk to your practitioner about it. Just go to
  the clinic where you had the procedure to seek a
  solution to the problem. Some issues dont just
  clear with over-the-counter prescriptions and
  will need expert help to be corrected.
• Alternatively, you can share your side effects on
  Yellow Card Scheme. There are botox experts on
  the website who will advise you on what to do to
  manage the adverse reactions that you are
  experiencing.

19
Special considerations

• Before you can decide to have under eyes botox,
  its important to consider these factors
• Cost The treatment is not cheap. You may incur
  at least 150 per session. As mentioned, youll
  need several sessions before you can enjoy the
  results.
• Limitations Botox is not a permanent
  anti-wrinkle treatment. Youll have to do it
  repeatedly.
• Guarantee In as much as under eyes botox is safe
  and fda-approved, there is no guarantee that the
  wrinkles will clear completely.
• Safety Botox is a prescribed medicine that
  should only be administered by a trained health
  practitioner to guarantee your safety.

20
Finding the right botox expert

• First, ask for recommendations from your friends
  and close associates. If there is a friend who
  has had a botox before and you like the way she
  looks, there are high chances that youll get
  good results from her doctor. The next step is to
  schedule a consultation with the doctor to
  establish his or her experience. Avoid botox
  experts that over-advertise their services botox
  facilities advertise because they dont have
  clients or they are not busy enough. Good botox
  specialists who are likely to give you excellent
  results are always busy.

21
Botox vs botulism

• Contrary to what most people assume, the botox
  toxin is not similar to clostridium botulinum,
  the pathogen which causes botulism. The toxin
  designed for under eyes botox is safely extracted
  and fda-approved and does not result in any
  serious condition. Its specifically approved for
  treating wrinkles and other symptoms of
  anti-aging. The dose used is small and it rarely
  gets into the bloodstream.

22
The final wrap

• Millions of botox procedures are done globally
  and there is a reason for it. A JAMA Dermatology
  study shows that its safe regardless of where
  its done on your body provided that its
  performed by an expert. So, you can always
  consider it for under eyes wrinkles. But first,
  make sure you talk to your doctor about it before
  going through with the procedure.
