Indications
What this treatment is suited for
- Pronounced smile lines at the outer eye corner at rest
- A tired-looking eye area
- Treatment and prevention of deeper lines
Mechanism
How the treatment works
The lateral part of the orbicularis oculi muscle is selectively relaxed, reducing crease formation when smiling.
Procedure
The treatment procedure
Very fine injections at a few points lateral to the eye. The procedure takes approximately 30 minutes.
Aftercare
After the treatment
Ideally no make-up until the next day, no rubbing of the eye area for 24 hours, no sports for 24 hours and no sauna for 72 hours.
Risks and side effects
Mild redness or small bruises are possible. Rarely, under-eye swelling if injected too closely.
Contraindications
Not suitable for certain neuromuscular disorders, during pregnancy and breastfeeding, or in the presence of infections in the treatment area.
Questions about the treatment
Frequently asked questions
Will I still be able to smile naturally?
Yes. Dosing is chosen so that the eye area remains lively when smiling, merely softening the depth of lines.
Will the lines under the eye disappear too?
Only partly. The treatment targets the laughter lines at the outer corner of the eye. Fine crêpey lines directly under the eye are often caused by thin skin and respond better to polynucleotides.
Can I wear make-up afterwards?
Ideally not until the next day. For the first 24 hours, avoid rubbing the eye area, including when removing make-up.
