CROW’S FEET (Outer Eye Lines) WITH BOTOX

While typical Botox prices in the South Windsor area range from $12-$20 per unit, at IV Lounge CT it costs only $10 a unit. For an exact quote based on your personal goals, schedule a consultation at our South Windsor office today.

BOTOX® injections applied to the crow's feet cause minimal discomfort, often described as a quick pinch. Treatments are fast, and most clients find them very tolerable. A numbing cream can be applied if needed.

The muscles around the eyes are constantly moving (every time you blink or squint), so the body tends to metabolize the product slightly faster here than in the forehead. You can expect results to last about 3 months. For longer-lasting results, ask us about Daxxify, which is formulated to maintain its hold longer than traditional neuromodulators.

For the best results from your treatment at IV Lounge, please follow these simple guidelines:

• Avoid: For 48 hours prior, avoid alcohol and any blood-thinning medications like aspirin or ibuprofen to prevent bruising. (Consult your doctor before stopping prescribed medication.)
• Arrive: Come to our South Windsor office with a clean, makeup-free face.
• Plan: Be ready to discuss your aesthetic goals with our expert injector.

To ensure your Botox settles perfectly, please avoid the following for the first 24 hours:

• Don't touch, rub, or massage the treated area.
• Don't engage in strenuous exercise, saunas, or hot tubs.
• Don't lie down for the first 4 hours after treatment.
• Don't consume alcohol.

This is the most common fear, but the answer is no—if done correctly. The goal is to relax the orbicularis oculi (the circular muscle around the eye) just enough to stop the deep folding, but not so much that the cheek cannot lift. When performed by an expert like IV Lounge CT professionals, your eyes will still crinkle warmly when you smile; the deep, aging trenches will simply be gone.

Not entirely on its own. These are called "static lines"—wrinkles that have become permanently etched into the skin after years of folding. Botox will prevent them from getting deeper, but to erase them completely, you will likely need to pair your treatment with a Chemical Peel or a resurfacing treatment to smooth the skin texture.

Botox is specifically for the lines at the corners of the eyes. It does not treat bags or hollows under the eyes. However, opening up the lateral eye area often makes the entire orbital region look brighter and more awake. If under-eye hollows are your main concern, we may suggest Dermal Fillers instead.

Use Anti-inflammatories: Using anti-inflammatories after your botox injection procedure for about 2 weeks will help with potential bruising. 

Avoid laying down: Try not to lay down on your forehead for about 3 to 4 hours after your treatment. 

Avoid Scrubbing or Rubbing your face: Wait about 24 to 48 hours before you decide to rub and scrub your face. This is to ensure positive results after your botox treatment.

Don’t wear makeup for 12 hours: Post injection waits at least 12 hours before you apply makeup to avoid irritation.

The best time to start is "pre-juvenation"—before the lines become permanent. If you notice fine lines appearing when you smile that linger for a few seconds after your face relaxes, that is your signal. Treating them early prevents them from turning into deep, static wrinkles later.
