How soon do Botox results appear around eyes?
Not immediately. The molecule has to be taken up by the nerve endings serving the muscle around your eye before that muscle folds the skin less, and the published sources below describe onset developing over days after injection. Movement changes first and the crease follows. Your own interval is given to you at consultation against your dose and your muscle.
Why does the crease take longer than the movement?
Because they are two different things. Movement is the muscle squeezing, and that answers directly to the block. The crease is skin that has been folded along one line for years, and it only softens after a stretch of time without being folded. A line that shows only when you smile clears earliest.
Can you tell me exactly how many days it will take?
We decline to print a number as a clinic promise, because the honest variables are your dose, the strength of your eye muscle and how much of the line is already etched. The literature cited here describes onset over days with the effect continuing to build. Your director gives you a realistic window for your own plan in the room.
What should I do if nothing has changed at all?
Call the clinic and come in. Being reviewed is how a plan gets finished, and the answer is usually one of three: the interval is still short, the dose was deliberately conservative for a first treatment around the eye, or the line was largely etched to begin with. Each of those has a different next step.
Will my crow’s feet disappear completely?
The part made by muscle folding softens. The part already etched into the skin is a separate finding and often remains to some degree, which is why it is named at diagnosis before you spend anything. Where the groove dominates, an injection alone is the wrong purchase and we say so.
How much is one area around the eyes?
The outer corners count as a single area, listed at ₩30,000 (≈ $20) on the Korean tier and ₩150,000 (≈ $105) on the imported tier. Both cover the mapping across both sides in one sitting. Visiting patients and residents are quoted the same figure, confirmed with you before anything is drawn.
Does the imported tier work faster?
We will not make that claim on a public page. Both tiers are botulinum toxin type A from different manufacturers, and the product-properties paper cited below is the reading behind how they differ in the laboratory. Which one suits you is a judgement made in the room against your assessment, your budget and how you have responded before.
Will my smile look different while it settles?
A smile that gathers a little less tightly at the outer corner is the intended change. A smile that looks lopsided or flattened on one side is a placement issue, is temporary, and should be reported rather than waited out. Conservative first dosing around the eye exists precisely to keep that outcome rare.
Can my eyelid feel heavy afterwards?
It can, if product reaches the muscle that lifts the lid, and it is one of the named risks of this area. It resolves as the effect wears off, and mapping away from that envelope is what prevents it. Tell your director immediately if a lid or a brow starts to sit lower on one side.
Will I bruise, and how visible is it?
Bruising is the most common complaint after this area, because the tissue beside the eye carries many small vessels. It is usually pinpoint and coverable, and it can sit there for around a week while the actual result is still arriving. Blood-thinning medication and supplements raise the odds, so mention them beforehand.
How long does the effect last around the eyes?
It is temporary in every case, and the span differs between people with dose, muscle strength and how expressive you are. Rather than quote a figure from a web page, your director gives you a realistic interval for your own plan and checks it against the baseline capture at review. Nothing obliges you to repeat.
Can I have it on the day I come in, and is the price the same for visitors?
Often yes, once the scan and the doctor consultation are done and the reading supports it. The figure is identical for residents and visiting patients, and the clinic is open 365 days, so a review date usually fits a trip. If the finding is skin instead of movement, you will be told that on the day and sent to the right consultation.
