How does BOTOX® Cosmetic Work?
As we age the repetitive contraction of muscles around the eyes, between the eyes and in the forehead create wrinkles and folds in the skin that are not present when we're younger. The combination of this constant folding of the skin with other environmental damage, such as sun damage and free radical damage (e.g. smoking) results in crow's feet, smokers lips and other cosmetic concerns.
BOTOX® Cosmetic interrupts the chemical communication between the nerves and the muscles in the treatment site. Your body adjusts to this change in about three months and the muscle once again contracts.

Eyes By Spa 35
Your eyes are one of the first areas to show the signs of aging. Most times it is the first place someone looks when we meet them. There is constant muscle movement in the area, the skin can be thin and the area can be constantly exposed to the sun.
To return your eyes to their more youthful appearance you may want to consider adding light based procedures to your BOTOX® Cosmetic injection. Such as Laser Skin Resurfacing, Intense Pulsed Light or Skin Tightening. These procedures can help restore the skin collagen and elastin that has been lost in the skin around the eyes.
And, don't forget about the impact you can have on the skin, particularly around the eyes, with the use of the proper skin care products. Foundational products of every skin care regime include a Vitamin A based product (e.g. Retin-A), Vitamin C, cleanser (preferably with a low pH) and a physical sun block (used everyday, preferably applied twice a day).
