Who is this treatment for?
This treatment is for people who are seeing expression lines appear at the corners of their eyes. It is also for those who wish for prevention of the progressive deepening of these wrinkles.
You can consider this procedure if crow’s feet are mainly visible when you smile, or if they give you a tired appearance.
The treatment may also be suitable if you are looking for a non-surgical and reversible option.
Situations where it may be necessary to postpone or avoid
Depending on your situation, botulinum toxin may be not recommended or postponed, particularly in cases of pregnancy, breastfeeding, neuromuscular disease, or certain autoimmune conditions.
If you are taking treatments that cause bruising, an adjustment may be proposed depending on the context.
A prior consultation allows for verification of indications, your medical history, and your goals.
Session Procedure
The session begins with an analysis of muscle movement around the eyes, at rest and when expressing. The identification of injection points aims for harmonious correction, without freezing the gaze.
The total duration is often around 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the treatment plan.
Injections are performed with a very fine needle, at precise points on the outer corner of the eye.
Comfort is generally good, and a cooling measure can be offered if you are sensitive.
Results
The effect is not always immediately visible. You often observe a gradual improvement in 48 to 72 hours, with a more stable result around 7 to 14 days.
Crow’s feet are less pronounced during expressions, while maintaining a natural look if muscular balance is respected.
The duration varies depending on the individual, but it is frequently around 3 to 6 months.
Subsequent sessions can lead to a more consistent result over time.
Aftercare and Recommendations
After the session, you may notice slight redness, minor swelling, or small bruises at the injection site. These effects are usually temporary.
During the first few hours, it is often recommended to avoid massaging the area and to limit intense heat.
On the day of the procedure, it is best to postpone sports and activities that significantly increase blood pressure in the face.
If you notice any unexpected effects, please contact the practice to adjust the follow-up.
