Botox for Eyes & Forehead in Tacoma, WA
This treatment is offered through our Aesthetic Neurotoxin Services program — scheduled and billed separately from medical neurotoxin therapy.
What Causes Forehead Lines and Crow’s Feet?
Forehead lines, brow furrows (the “11 lines” between the brows), and crow’s feet around the eyes form from repeated muscle contractions — squinting, frowning, and raising the eyebrows — over years. As skin loses elasticity with age, these expression lines become visible even at rest.
How Can Botox Help?
Botox works by temporarily relaxing the targeted facial muscles responsible for these expression lines, softening their appearance without surgery. Because the muscles can no longer contract as forcefully, existing lines soften and new ones are slower to form.
- Softening forehead lines
- Reducing brow furrow (“11 lines”) between the eyebrows
- Smoothing crow’s feet at the outer corners of the eyes
- Providing a subtle, natural-looking brow lift
- Preventing lines from deepening over time when used proactively
Who Is a Candidate?
You may be a good candidate for Botox if you:
- Notice forehead lines, brow furrows, or crow’s feet you’d like to soften
- Want a preventative approach before lines deepen
- Are looking for a natural-looking, non-surgical option
- Are in good general health with no known neuromuscular conditions
Our providers will review your medical history and treatment goals during a consultation to confirm Botox is the right fit.
