What are wrinkles and what is “Botox”?
There are dynamic and static wrinkles. Dynamic wrinkles form when the muscle contracts, i.e. when the face is moving. Static wrinkles are lines present even when the muscle is relaxed. Dynamic wrinkles progress to static wrinkles over time. As the skin loses elasticity, the muscles pull and force the skin above to form a wrinkle, which become irreversibly etched in the skin.
Botox, and other similar injections, work by blocking the release of acetylcholine, a chemical that nerves use to tell muscles to contract. With less muscle movement below, the skin surface smoothens, and wrinkles begin to soften. The effect is temporary, but the treatment can be repeated. There is a preventative effect of Botox as well, because while the muscles are not contracting, new wrinkle formation is minimized.


What makes Botox injections at Eyesthetica different?
An ophthalmologist invented the use of Botox on the face in the 1980’s, hence ophthalmologists have been the longest users of botulinum toxin with over three decades of experience. While injection of BOTOX® has minimal risks, it is important to choose a doctor that understands the safest techniques to avoid unwanted side effects such as lid drooping, double vision, and dry eye. The doctors of Eyesthetica are all board-certified ophthalmologists and board-certified oculofacial plastic surgeons, and they have the most extensive knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of the eye and face. Why trust your care with anyone else?

What should I expect from my botulinum toxin (BOTOX®) injection?
The injections take approximately 10 minutes. You may start to notice the effect of the botox around 3 to 7 days after injection and the effect lasts for about 3 to 4 months.
Risks of botulinum toxin injection include possible temporary bruising at the injection site, which can be covered with makeup. Additionally, there are some reports of temporary asymmetry, double vision or eyelid droop, however this is extremely rare. Risks of the procedure are much less with the physicians at Eyesthetica due to their extensive training and experience.
