Wrinkles that Botox® Will Target?

Botox® will dramatically improve and often eliminate horizontal forehead creases, scowl lines between your eyebrows, crow’s feet, and vertical wrinkles of your upper lip.

Botox® is ineffective for fine wrinkles because they are not due to facial expression. To address fine wrinkles, you should see Dermal Fillers or Chemical Skin Peels. Botox® is also ineffective for wrinkles around your mouth that are due to sagging cheeks.

How Botox® Works

Dynamic wrinkles, such as crow’s feet, frown lines, and forehead wrinkles, are due to repetitive facial expression. Weakening the muscles responsible for these facial expressions can dramatically improve these wrinkles. With Botox®, these muscles can be weakened without detracting from your facial expressiveness.

Facial Non Surgical Injection Areas:

Botox injections in the forehead can dramatically affect eyebrow shape, therefore, prior to injecting the forehead it is necessary to consider whether you want to enhance the arch of the eyebrow or if you want the eyebrow to be more horizontal. Generally, women prefer a more arched brow because it imparts a more feminine look, while men prefer a more horizontal brow.

Frown lines, also called glabellar rhytides, are the lines between the eyebrows that occur when you frown. After many years of frowning and squinting, frown lines can get etched into the skin. These wrinkles make the face look old. Botox is an injectable toxin that paralyzes the muscles that control frown lines. Because the muscles cannot contract, they cannot create wrinkles. In most patients, regular Botox injections prevent frown lines from forming and in some patients Botox can improve or eliminate existing wrinkles.

Crow's Feet: Orbicularis Oculi and Procerus Muscles.
Crow's feet are those annoying little lines on the side of the eyes can age your appearance far more rapidly than many other skin conditions. Named for their forked appearance, somewhat like a crow's foot, these eye wrinkles can certainly become a burden. And over time, they just deepen more and more as the muscles that control our expressions thicken from use.
What to Expect with Botox Crow's Feet Treatment
Correction with Botox is very natural and most patients feel that they have a more wide-eyed, rested and less angry appearance. Botox treatments lasts an average of three to four months on crow's feet. After repeated injections the results may be even longer lasting.

Bunny Lines: Transverse Nasal  
Peri-oral Lines: Smoker's Lines  
Marionette Lines: Depresssor Anguli Oris
Mentalis Dysfunction (Chin "Dents"): Mentalis Muscle
Vertical Platysma Bands: Platysma Muscle.
Brow Lift:  Botox can be injected above the outer area of the brow to create a lifting effect.
