You know how it goes. One day, you catch a glimpse in the mirror, and suddenly, the delicate skin around your eyes tells a story of every late night and every laugh line. Those subtle wrinkles, fine lines, and perhaps a bit of hollowness or puffiness can make you look perpetually tired, even when you feel anything but. It’s a natural part of getting older, but it doesn’t mean you must settle for a worn-out look.
The good news? Botox and fillers offer a safe, non-surgical path to rejuvenating that sensitive under-eye area.
Our experts at Specialty Wellness specialize in Botox and Juvéderm® fillers, which smooth wrinkles, restore volume, and give the under-eye area a refreshed, youthful appearance.
Botox for Under-Eye Wrinkles: Smoothing Fine Lines and Crow’s Feet
Botox is a highly effective, non-invasive treatment that temporarily relaxes the muscles that cause wrinkles. As we age, repeated facial expressions such as smiling, squinting, and frowning lead to wrinkles, like crow’s feet at the outer corners of the eyes. Botox works by temporarily relaxing these muscles, softening the appearance of these wrinkles, and leaving you with smoother, more youthful-looking skin.
Botox and fillers work beautifully together to target crow’s feet and fine lines around the eyes, providing a smoother, more refreshed appearance. While Botox effectively smooths wrinkles by relaxing the muscles, it doesn’t restore lost volume—this is where dermal fillers step in, replenishing volume and rejuvenating the under-eye area for a fuller, more youthful look.
How Dermal Fillers Work for Under-Eye Volume Loss: Restoring Volume and Filling Hollows
Over time, we naturally lose volume in the under-eye area, leading to tear troughs—hollows beneath the eyes that can make us appear tired or older. Juvéderm® Volbella, a hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler, is specifically developed for this delicate area. It helps restore volume and smooth out the skin, reducing the appearance of dark circles and sunken eyes.
Hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in our skin, attracts moisture and helps maintain skin hydration. By using Juvéderm® Volbella, we can restore volume to the tear troughs, leaving you with a brighter, more youthful eye area. Botox and fillers smooth wrinkles and help create a more rested look, giving you a rejuvenated appearance.
Benefits of Botox and Fillers for Under-Eye Rejuvenation at Specialty Wellness
1. Smoothing Wrinkles & Fine Lines
Botox and fillers effectively smooth crow’s feet and fine lines around the eyes. Botox relaxes the muscles that cause wrinkles, while fillers restore lost volume, creating a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
2. Restoring Volume to Hollow Areas
Juvéderm® Volbella®️ is a highly effective filler that restores lost volume in the under-eye area, reducing dark circles and filling tear troughs for a refreshed, awake look. This dual approach of Botox and fillers is ideal for under-eye rejuvenation.
3. Non-Surgical Treatment
Botox and fillers are non-invasive procedures that provide significant improvements without surgery, making them a safer, more convenient option for many individuals.
4. Minimal Downtime
Both Botox and fillers involve little to no recovery time. Patients can typically resume their regular activities right after treatment, with only mild swelling or bruising that resolves within a few days.
5. Natural-Looking Results
Botox and fillers offer subtle, natural-looking results. When performed by our expert injectors, these treatments enhance your features and provide a refreshed look without appearing overdone.
6. Long-Lasting Effects
Botox results typically last 3-4 months, while dermal fillers can last 6 months to a year, offering long-term benefits with a single treatment.
What to Expect During the Botox and Filler Treatments at Specialty Wellness
The procedure for both Botox and fillers is relatively quick and can typically be completed in under 30 minutes. Here’s what you can expect:
- Consultation: During your consultation at Specialty Wellness, we will discuss your concerns and goals. Our expert injectors will assess your under-eye area and recommend the best action: Botox, dermal fillers, or a combination of both.
- Botox Injections: Botox will be injected into the muscles around the outer corner of your eyes for crow’s feet and fine lines. The procedure is quick, and most patients feel only minor discomfort.
- Dermal Filler Injections: To restore volume loss under the eyes, Juvéderm® Volbella®️ is injected into the tear troughs. The filler is carefully placed to restore volume, smooth out lines, and create a more youthful, rested appearance.
- Post-Treatment Care: After treatment, you may experience some mild swelling or bruising, which will subside within a few days. You should avoid rubbing the treated areas for 24 hours and refrain from strenuous exercise for the first few days. The results will be visible shortly after your Botox treatment and immediately after your filler procedure.
