UNDER-EYE BOTOX · EL PASO, TX
A delicate area that rewards a conservative hand. Celeste Cisneros, FNP-BC uses tiny, precise doses to soften fine lines and a smile "jelly roll" — and she'll tell you honestly when Botox isn't the answer.
AN HONEST OVERVIEW
Under-eye Botox is one of the most misunderstood treatments in aesthetics, so let's be clear up front. Used in tiny amounts, Botox can soften fine lines beneath the eyes and gently relax a "jelly roll" — the small bulge of muscle that rolls up under your lash line when you smile. What it cannot do is remove true under-eye bags, which come from fat, fluid, or loose skin. Anyone promising to "Botox away" your bags isn't being straight with you.
THE RIGHT TOOL FOR THE PROBLEM
The under-eye responds to different treatments depending on what's actually going on. The most important part of your visit is figuring out which problem you have — Celeste will give you a straight answer, even if that answer is "you don't need this."
Fine "crepey" lines under the eyes (often crow's feet wrapping underneath) and a hypertrophic jelly roll that puffs up when you smile. Tiny doses, subtle result.
A hollow tear trough or dark under-eye shadow caused by volume loss. We offer dermal fillers for this — sometimes alongside a touch of Botox.
TRANSPARENT PRICING
Because the under-eye needs only a few units, it's one of the more affordable areas. Botox at Solas is $10 per unit at 20+ units ($12/unit under 20), and the under-eye "jelly roll" typically takes just 2–4 units per side. Many patients add it to a crow's feet or upper-face treatment in the same visit. Your exact dose and price are confirmed before any injections.
SAFETY
The under-eye has a low tolerance for excess product. Too much Botox here — or product placed wrong — can weaken the muscle that supports the lower lid, which may worsen puffiness, create a hollow look, or affect your smile. Done right, with minimal units by an experienced injector, the risk is low and the effect is a subtle smoothing. This is the definition of an area where less is more, and where who injects you matters most.
Botox isn't recommended if you're pregnant or breastfeeding, have certain neuromuscular conditions, or are allergic to its ingredients. Celeste reviews your full health history and assesses your lower-lid support before treating.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Honestly — no, not true bags. Under-eye bags are usually caused by fat pads, fluid, or loose skin, and Botox can't remove any of those. What Botox can do is soften fine lines under the eyes and relax a 'jelly roll' — the little roll of muscle that bulges under your lash line when you smile. For actual bags, under-eye filler, skin treatments, or other options are a better fit, and Celeste will tell you honestly which is right for you.
Two things, with very small doses: fine lines beneath the eyes (often crow's feet that extend underneath), and a hypertrophic 'jelly roll' of the orbicularis muscle that puffs up under the lashes when you smile. Relaxing it gently smooths that area and can make the eyes look a little more open and rested.
It's safe in the right hands, but the under-eye area is delicate and unforgiving — over-treating it can worsen bags or create a hollow, uneven look. That's exactly why it should be done conservatively by an experienced medical injector. At Solas it's performed by Celeste Cisneros, FNP-BC, who uses tiny, carefully placed doses and will decline to treat if you're not a good candidate.
Because the under-eye area needs only a few units, it's one of the more affordable areas. Botox at Solas is $10 per unit at 20+ units ($12/unit under 20), and the under-eye 'jelly roll' typically uses just 2–4 units per side. Your exact dose and price are confirmed at your consultation.
It depends on the problem. Botox softens fine lines and a muscular 'jelly roll'; under-eye filler restores volume in a hollow tear trough or shadow. Many patients are actually better served by filler, or a conservative combination. The most important step is an honest assessment — which is what your consultation is for.
Like Botox elsewhere, about 3–4 months. Because the doses under the eyes are small, results are subtle by design — the goal is a smoother, more rested look, not a frozen one.
