When you think of summer, you probably picture sunshine, beach days, and weekend getaways. What might not come to mind right away? Botox. But believe it or not, summer is actually an ideal time to schedule your wrinkle-relaxing treatments—especially if you’re noticing those fine lines around your eyes (hello, crow’s feet!) becoming more prominent.
Sun = Squinting = Crow’s Feet
Even with sunglasses, we all tend to squint more during the summer months. Whether you’re driving, at the beach, or just spending more time outdoors, all that squinting can deepen the fine lines around your eyes. These lines, known as crow’s feet, are one of the most common areas we treat with Botox.
By relaxing the muscles responsible for squinting, Botox helps smooth existing lines and prevent new ones from forming—keeping your eyes looking refreshed and youthful, even after a full day in the sun.
Prevention Is Key
Botox isn’t just about treating wrinkles—it’s about preventing them. Starting or continuing Botox treatments in the summer can help stop deeper lines from setting in, so you maintain smoother skin long-term. It’s like putting your skin in a time capsule while still enjoying all your favorite warm-weather activities.
What About Sun Exposure?
One of the biggest myths is that you can’t get Botox during the summer. While we do recommend avoiding direct sun exposure immediately after treatment, there’s no need to skip your routine just because it’s sunny out. A good pair of sunglasses, some SPF, and a little shade for 24 hours post-treatment are all you need to keep your skin protected.
Pro Tip: Don’t Wait Until Fall
If you wait until summer’s over to address your squinting lines, you may already be seeing deeper creases that are harder to treat. Instead, staying on a consistent schedule through the summer can help you maintain your results and prevent new lines from forming.
