Indications

Aging changes around the eyes specifically crows feet and frown lines, occasionally for neck bands.

Procedure

The technique involves injection of Botulina Type A Toxin (BOTOX®) into the over active muscles causing a temporary paralysis minimizing the active lines.  The most common areas treated by Botox® are the forehead and crow’s feet and the improvement lasts 3-6 months.  Patient satisfaction is high and complications are practically non-existent!

Trade offs

Risks 

On a rare occasion after Botox® there is temporary difficulty fully opening the eye, but this is extremely rare.

Recovery 

After a Botox® treatment, patients usually continue with their normal routine.  Some make-up may be required to cover any redness or bruising.  Botox®  effects are temporary, lasting 3-6 months.
