Eye Injectables
Crow's feet are best treated with Botox, not fillers. Fillers under the eyes can be effective for younger people with good bone structure but are less suitable for older individuals.
Filler Amounts
Avoid trial and error with filler amounts. Start with a smaller amount and allow it to settle for a week or two to assess the results before adding more.
Minimizing Bruising
- Prepare for potential bruising by hydrating and avoiding alcohol, aspirin, or Advil before injections.
- Consider Arnica supplements and camouflage makeup to minimize bruising.
