FACIAL AESTHETICS IN PAPHOS
Wrinkle-relaxing treatments soften expression lines while preserving natural facial movement. Small, precisely placed doses allow the face to look fresher and more rested -- never frozen -- with careful planning around the eyes to protect eyelid position and comfort. For wrinkle-relaxing treatments in Paphos, Dr Valentina Stavrou provides precise, medically-led care with careful planning around the eyelids.
Wrinkle-relaxing injections use botulinum toxin to temporarily relax targeted facial muscles that create expression lines. By reducing repetitive muscle contraction, the overlying skin appears smoother and more refreshed.
The goal is always a natural result -- softer lines and a rested appearance -- while maintaining normal facial expression and movement.
The most frequently treated areas include dynamic lines that form with facial expression:
These areas respond well to small, carefully placed doses that soften lines without affecting natural movement.
Every treatment is planned individually, with a focus on conservative dosing and a natural outcome. As an ophthalmologist, Dr Stavrou brings particular expertise in the anatomy of the eye area, which is important for safe periocular treatment.
Wrinkle-relaxing treatment is a quick, office-based procedure with minimal downtime. Most patients return to normal activities immediately.
Because the effect is temporary, treatment can be refined at follow-up visits to achieve the ideal balance for each patient.
The skin and muscles around the eyes are among the most delicate in the face. An ophthalmologist has advanced training in periocular anatomy, eyelid function, and tear film dynamics -- knowledge that is essential when treating expression lines near the eyes.
This expertise helps ensure that wrinkle-relaxing treatment around the eyes is both safe and precise, protecting eyelid position and comfort while achieving a natural aesthetic result.
For some patients, combining wrinkle-relaxing treatment with other procedures gives the most natural overall result. Wrinkle-relaxing injections can complement eyelid surgery by softening dynamic lines that surgery alone does not address.
Similarly, pairing treatment with volume restoration can restore fullness to areas of age-related volume loss, creating a balanced and refreshed appearance.
Facial aesthetics
For mild eyelid skin laxity, non-surgical eyelid tightening using plasma technology may offer a non-invasive alternative.
When eyelid skin excess is more pronounced, eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) can provide lasting improvement to the eyelid contour.
Age-related volume loss can be addressed with volume restoration and facial contouring for subtle, natural balance.
Results from wrinkle-relaxing treatments typically last three to four months. With regular treatment, some patients find that the effects last progressively longer as the targeted muscles gradually weaken over time.
Most patients describe the injections as a brief, mild sting. The needles used are very fine, and the procedure is quick -- usually completed in under 15 minutes. No anaesthesia is normally required.
When performed by a trained specialist with detailed knowledge of periocular anatomy, wrinkle-relaxing treatment around the eyes is safe. As an ophthalmologist, Dr Stavrou has particular expertise in eyelid function and the delicate structures surrounding the eye.
No. The aim is always a natural, rested appearance -- not a frozen look. Conservative dosing and careful placement allow normal facial expression to be maintained while softening lines that contribute to a tired or aged appearance.
