Do fine lines or wrinkles next to the eyes bother you? It can give an aged look. With a Botox treatment, these wrinkles can fade or even disappear!
Crow's feet, also known as laugh lines, occur because the eyes squeeze together while laughing. Some have this naturally more than others. Many also find these wrinkles add cheerfulness or character to the face. But over time, these wrinkles will in fact also be visible in a neutral facial expression.
This can be very disturbing, as they age the face considerably. Botox, or botulinum toxin, is a muscle relaxant that causes the muscle next to the eyes to contract less. Because the muscle no longer squeezes properly, wrinkles can no longer form in the skin. As a result, the skin becomes smoother and tighter. Crow's feet can thus be both reduced and prevented.
The ideal time to start using botox is when the crow's feet become visible in a neutral facial expression. In fact, from this moment on, the wrinkles will only deepen. The botox at this time will not only make the wrinkles disappear, but also has a preventive effect. Namely, it prevents the wrinkles from getting much deeper.
Botox remains effective for 3 to 4 months on average. At JECT Clinics we offer both Azzalure and Alluzience botox, with effective duration times up to 6 months. At the end of the effective duration period, the treated muscles will gradually start to move again. When the effect has diminished, the treatment can be repeated. Repetition of treatment is important to maintain the best possible results.
