What It Treats

Cosmetic Use: Botox is widely known for its cosmetic applications, particularly in reducing the appearance of facial wrinkles such as frown lines, crow's feet, and forehead lines. It achieves this by relaxing the muscles responsible for creating these wrinkles, resulting in smoother, younger-looking skin.

Frown Lines (Glabellar Lines): Frown lines, also known as glabellar lines or "11" lines, are vertical wrinkles that form between the eyebrows. These lines can give the face an aged or tired appearance. Botox injections are strategically administered into the muscles responsible for causing frowning, thereby relaxing them and reducing the prominence of these lines.‍

Crow's Feet: Crow's feet are the fine lines and wrinkles that radiate from the corners of the eyes, often appearing more pronounced with smiling or squinting. Botox can be injected into the muscles surrounding the eyes to diminish the appearance of crow's feet, resulting in a smoother and more youthful eye area.

Forehead Lines: Forehead lines are horizontal lines that develop across the forehead due to repetitive muscle movements, such as raising the eyebrows or expressing surprise. Botox injections can relax the forehead muscles, softening these lines and creating a smoother forehead appearance.

Bunny Lines: Bunny lines refer to the diagonal wrinkles that form on the bridge of the nose when scrunching or wrinkling the nose. Botox injections can help reduce the appearance of bunny lines by relaxing the underlying muscles, resulting in a more refined and smooth nasal contour.

Marionette Lines: Marionette lines are the vertical lines that extend downward from the corners of the mouth, often giving the face a sad or aged expression. While dermal fillers are typically used to address marionette lines, Botox can complement treatment by targeting the muscles that contribute to their formation, resulting in a more comprehensive rejuvenation of the lower face.

Chin Dimpling: Chin dimpling, also known as "peau d'orange" or orange peel chin, refers to the dimpled appearance of the chin caused by overactive chin muscles. Botox injections can relax these muscles, smoothing out the chin and reducing the appearance of dimpling for a more refined facial contour.

Neck Bands: Vertical bands or cords that form along the neck due to the contraction of the platysma muscle can be effectively treated with Botox injections. By relaxing the platysma muscle, Botox can soften the appearance of neck bands and create a smoother, more youthful neck contour.
