What Is Botox for the Eye Area?
Botulinum toxin injection is the most established non-surgical treatment for periocular wrinkles. By temporarily blocking nerve signals to specific muscles, it effectively reduces dynamic wrinkles caused by repeated facial expressions—most commonly crow’s feet, frown lines, and forehead lines.
At Rappoel Dermatology Clinic, the director carefully evaluates each patient’s wrinkle depth, expression patterns, and muscle strength to create a precise injection plan that smooths wrinkles while preserving natural facial expression.
Rappoel uses KFDA-certified Botox products with traceable anti-counterfeit codes. The director employs a low-dose, layered injection technique for optimal wrinkle reduction without the “frozen face” effect or risk of ptosis (drooping eyelid).
Three Common Types of Eye Area Wrinkles
Radiating lines at the outer corners of the eyes that appear when smiling. Caused by orbicularis oculi muscle contraction—the most classic Botox treatment area.
Vertical lines between the eyebrows that appear when frowning or concentrating. They can make you look stern or tired, and relax effectively with Botox.
Horizontal lines across the forehead that worsen when raising eyebrows. Injection into the frontalis muscle smooths these effectively.
The Rappoel Eye Area Botox Process
1. Expression Assessment: The director asks you to raise your eyebrows, frown, and smile to evaluate wrinkle location, depth, and symmetry.
2. Dosage Design: Injection points and units are planned per area, with total doses typically ranging from 20-40 units.
3. Precision Injection: Using ultra-fine needles, Botox is injected into the target muscle layer at each point. The entire procedure takes 10-15 minutes.
4. Post-Procedure Observation: A 15-minute observation period ensures no adverse reactions before you leave.
When Will I See Results?
Botox typically begins working within 3-7 days, with full results visible at 2 weeks. The effect lasts 4-6 months, after which muscle activity gradually returns. Rappoel recommends maintenance treatments every 4-5 months for consistent results.
