Botox offers a simple, non-surgical option for lifting hooded eyes and creating a more refreshed, open appearance. Many people notice their eyes look tired or heavy with age but aren't ready for surgery. Hooded eyes Botox treatments gently relax the muscles that weigh the eyelids down, allowing the brow to lift slightly and reducing the hooded appearance.
At BODYWELLE in Miami Beach, our team is experienced in using Botox with precision and care. We focus on achieving natural-looking results that help you feel more confident while still looking like yourself. For patients looking to improve hooded eyelids without a surgical procedure, Botox offers an effective, minimally invasive treatment plan.
Hooded eyes are characterized by excess skin that folds down from the brow bone and covers the natural eyelid crease. This creates a tired, shadowed, or heavy-lidded appearance. While some people are born with hooded eyelids, many develop them with age.
Hooded eyes are a cosmetic concern caused by skin and soft tissue that rest heavily over the eyelid. In contrast, droopy eyelids, or ptosis, involve weakened eyelid muscles that cause the upper eyelid to hang lower than normal, sometimes even obstructing vision. While Botox can improve the look of hooded eyes by lifting the brows, ptosis may require surgical treatment or further evaluation.
Several factors can contribute to the hooded eye appearance:
Botox works by relaxing specific facial muscles, allowing the opposing muscles to lift the brows and create a more open, awake appearance. This subtle lift can reduce the shadowing effect of excess eyelid skin and brighten the eye area.
The Botox brow lift procedure involves carefully placed injections in the forehead and around the brows. By relaxing the muscles that pull the brows downward, Botox allows the lifting muscles to work unopposed. The result is a slight elevation in the brow position and reduced heaviness above the eyelids.
Botox targets the orbicularis oculi muscle, which encircles the eye and contributes to brow depression. It may also be injected into portions of the frontalis (forehead) muscle and glabella (between the brows) to balance lifting forces. When these muscles are strategically relaxed, the brows rise subtly, reducing the hooded look without surgery.
We also offer Upneeq, a prescription eye drop that temporarily lifts the upper eyelids by stimulating the Müller's muscle. This non-invasive treatment can be a great complement to Botox for hooded eyes, especially for patients looking to enhance eye-opening effects without injections.
At BODYWELLE in Miami Beach, we take a customized approach to every treatment. Our focus is on natural beauty, patient comfort, and long-term satisfaction.
We don't believe in overdone or frozen results. Dr. Alonso Martin and his team approach Botox with precision and restraint, aiming for subtle enhancement rather than dramatic change. The goal is to refresh your look while preserving your unique facial expressions.
Botox injections around the eyes require a deep understanding of facial muscles and symmetry. Our injectors are experienced medical professionals who tailor each injection to your anatomy, helping to prevent uneven results and maximize the lifting effect. You'll be in expert hands throughout your Botox eyebrow lift session.
Patients with hooded eyes often seek solutions that don't involve invasive surgery. Botox offers several compelling advantages:
Unlike upper lid blepharoplasty, Botox doesn't require incisions, anesthesia, or recovery time. Most patients return to daily activities right after their Botox injection process, with full results developing over the next several days. It's a convenient option for those with busy schedules or needle-shy concerns.
Because Botox works by relaxing muscles, not removing skin, the results are softer and more natural than surgical treatment. You'll still look like you—just more rested, awake, and subtly lifted.
Many patients report feeling more confident in photos and face-to-face interactions after Botox. It can reduce the need for heavy makeup to contour the eyes and help you look more approachable and alert.
Not everyone is ready to commit to surgery. Botox offers a low-risk way to test out eyelid treatment effects before considering more invasive options. It can also be a helpful maintenance tool between procedures or after laser resurfacing or dermal filler treatments for a more complete rejuvenation.
Eyelid surgery (also called blepharoplasty or lid blepharoplasty) is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the upper lid. While highly effective, it comes with downtime, risks, and a higher cost. Botox, on the other hand, offers a non-invasive option with minimal risk and cost, especially for those with mild to moderate hooding.
Patients with significant excess skin or true eyelid drooping (ptosis) may still be better candidates for surgical brow lift or upper lid blepharoplasty. However, many patients find that a Botox brow lift procedure gives them a noticeable, satisfying improvement.
Botox for hooded eyes isn't about radical transformation—it's about gentle, strategic enhancement.
Initial results usually appear within 3 to 5 days, with full effects becoming visible by two weeks. The brow may appear more elevated, and the eyelid skin less heavy.
Results from a Botox eyebrow lift session typically last 3 to 4 months. Regular maintenance sessions can help extend the lifting effect and prevent future drooping.
When administered by experienced Botox experts like those at BODYWELLE, Botox is a safe and effective treatment for the eye area. Patient selection, precise dosing, and advanced injection techniques are key to safety.
Botox sessions are quick—usually under 15 minutes. A fine needle is used to place the Botox in targeted areas around the eyes and brow. Most patients describe minimal discomfort, similar to a pinprick. There is no downtime, although you may be advised to avoid lying down or exercising for a few hours after your appointment.
Mild swelling, bruising, or tenderness at the injection site may occur but typically resolves within a few days. We take every precaution to minimize side effects, including using the smallest possible needle and applying ice to reduce bruising. Our team also evaluates every patient carefully to avoid unwanted results like uneven brow lift or eyelid drooping.
If your eyes look tired, shadowed, or heavy—but you're not ready for surgery—a Botox brow lift might be the perfect place to start. At BODYWELLE in Miami Beach, we specialize in natural-looking results that help you feel more confident and refreshed. Every treatment is customized to your facial structure and goals.
In addition to Botox for hooded eyes, our practice offers a full range of aesthetic and wellness solutions, including dermal fillers, laser skin resurfacing, peptide therapy, and muscle-toning treatments like Emsculpt NEO. Our concierge team is here to guide you through every step of the process—from your initial consultation to post-treatment care—ensuring a seamless and supportive experience.

Upper lid blepharoplasty is a surgical solution that removes excess skin and fat from the eyelid area. A Botox brow lift, by contrast, is a non-surgical procedure that uses botulinum toxin to relax the brow-depressing muscles, allowing the brow to lift and improve the appearance of heavy eyelids.
Yes. Botox injections can be paired with brow filler or dermal fillers to restore lost volume and enhance brow ridges for a more complete result. This combination is often recommended when both skin laxity and volume loss are contributing to saggy eyelids.
The procedure is quick and typically takes about 10 to 15 minutes. Our Botox experts will map your facial muscles and inject small amounts of Botox into the targeted areas. You'll see Botox results gradually over the following days.
If you have ptosis, or drooping, of the eyelid due to weak eyelid muscles, Botox may not be the best solution. In these cases, lid blepharoplasty or other treatment options might be necessary to restore proper eyelid function and appearance.
The best way to find out is to schedule a Botox consultation at BODYWELLE. We'll assess your eyelid area, brow position, and skin condition to recommend the most effective treatment options for your cosmetic concerns.
