Treatments using botulinum toxin in the eye area are one of the most commonly chosen methods for reducing dynamic wrinkles and preventing them from deepening. Administering the preparation in a precisely tailored dose allows the relaxation of muscles responsible for the formation of dynamic wrinkles – especially so-called "crow's feet" or wrinkles under the eyes – without affecting the natural expression of the face. The procedure is quick, safe, and provides predictable rejuvenating effects.
How does botulinum toxin work?
Botulinum toxin (Botox, Azzalure, Bocouture) blocks neuromuscular conduction, leading to temporary relaxation of the mimic muscles responsible for skin wrinkling. When the muscle is weakened, the skin above it stops folding – as a result, wrinkles smooth out, and new ones do not deepen.
In the case of mesobotox, the toxin is administered in much smaller doses, superficially, over a larger area, allowing for smoothing and tightening of the thin skin around the eyes without fully blocking mimicry. This is an ideal solution for people with delicate wrinkles, thin skin, or at the first signs of aging.
Who do we recommend botulinum toxin for the eye area?
The treatment is recommended for individuals who:
- have dynamic wrinkles at the corners of the eyes ("crow's feet")
- observe fine lines and skin folds under the eyes
- want to achieve a rejuvenating and smoothing effect without changing their mimicry
- struggle with overactivity of the muscles around the eyes
- need anti-wrinkle prophylaxis from the age of 30
- wish to prepare the skin for laser treatments, stimulants, threads, or mesotherapy
Effects of botulinum toxin treatment for the eye area:
- Smoothing of dynamic wrinkles around the eyes, especially "crow's feet" and fine lines on the lower eyelid
- Rejuvenation and brightening of the gaze – the skin becomes firmer, less wrinkled, and the facial expressions are gentler
- Prevention of deepening wrinkles – relaxed muscles no longer constantly fold the skin
- Effect of a fresh, rested appearance – the gaze becomes more open, and the face gains a younger expression
- With mesobotox – smoothing without losing natural mimicry, ideal for individuals seeking very subtle effects
- Prevention of new wrinkles formation
What to combine to enhance rejuvenation of the eye area?
- Needle or microneedle mesotherapy – for intensive moisturization and skin quality improvement
- Collagen stimulants (e.g., polynucleotides) – for structural skin rebuilding
- Carboxytherapy – for improving microcirculation and reducing shadows/swelling
- LED Light Therapy – accelerates regeneration and prolongs the treatment effect
- PDO Threads – for long-term skin tightening around the eyes
- Non-ablative fractional laser – alternated with toxin for enhanced rejuvenation effect
Botulinum toxin – both in its classic form and as mesobotox – is a safe, precise, and highly effective tool for rejuvenating the eye area. When combined with supportive therapies, it allows for a natural, fresh smoothing effect without surgical intervention and while maintaining full facial expression.
