Yes, Botox is the best treatment for superficial wrinkles and expression lines around the eyes. These include frown lines, crow’s feet and lower eyelid expression lines. Botox can be used as a preventative treatment, that is, before eyelid wrinkles appear. In fact, Botox is FDA approved in people over the age of 18. The sooner you start using Botox, the slower the onset of wrinkles. This is what preventative therapy is all about. On the other hand, Botox may also be used to reduce or eliminate wrinkles that are already present. In this case, Botox is not preventative but, in a sense, curative. Finally, Botox can be used as maintenance therapy to prolong the results of eyelid and forehead plastic surgery and to slow down the onset of new wrinkles. In this case, it is applied once or twice a year after an aesthetic surgical procedure to prolong the results of the operation.
