The reduction of wrinkles around the eyes, often referred to as “character lines,” can be achieved through targeted injections of botulinum toxin. This neurotoxin temporarily relaxes specific facial muscles, smoothing the overlying skin and diminishing the appearance of these wrinkles. For example, dynamic wrinkles, those formed by repeated facial expressions like smiling or squinting, respond particularly well to this treatment.
Minimizing the appearance of these lines can create a more youthful and refreshed appearance. This can have a positive impact on self-confidence and perceived age. The development of this technique has revolutionized non-surgical cosmetic procedures, offering a relatively quick and minimally invasive approach to address a common cosmetic concern. Its popularity stems from the demonstrable, albeit temporary, improvement in facial aesthetics.
