What Areas of the Face Can be Treated with BOTOX®?
BOTOX reduces wrinkles and lines by relaxing the underlying muscles. While BOTOX is normally associated with Crow's feet and frown lines between the eyebrows, many areas can benefit from this popular treatment.
Now, with a little help from our team in Miami, FL, you can look years younger in just 5 – 10 minutes. Call Brickell Cosmetic Center to book an appointment and learn what areas can be managed with wrinkle relaxers. When you visit our state-of-the-art facility, we'll discuss your cosmetic goals and recommend the best possible options for your concerns.
Around the eyes
Crow's feet, also known as laugh lines, are the creases that show around the outer corners of the eyes. These wrinkles can make a person appear older and tired, even if they're not. Cosmetic injections can help soften these lines and create a truly refreshed look. When administered into the muscles around the eyes or under the eyes, BOTOX treatment reduces muscle movement and prevents further wrinkles from forming.
Forehead and brow
Vertical lines between the eyebrows ("11" lines) can also make a person aged or tired-looking. These wrinkles occur over time when making facial expressions like squinting or frowning. Our anti-aging professionals at Brickell Cosmetic Center can administer BOTOX to the muscles responsible for these movements so these lines seem much smoother. We can also use BOTOX as a "brow lift" for patients who want to avoid invasive surgery.
Lips and mouth
Did you know that BOTOX can be used to enhance the lips and mouth? Here are some common uses below:
- Smoker's lines: These fine vertical wrinkles often show as a result of smoking. BOTOX can stop these lines and prevent them from getting deeper.
- Lip flip: Even if you weren't born with a plump pout, we can use BOTOX to create the illusion of fullness by flipping the top lip upward.
- Gummy smile: Some people show excessive gum tissue when they smile. This look can be reduced by relaxing the muscles around the mouth.
- Downturned smile: Do you seem unhappy because your lips turn downward at the corners? We can perform a BOTOX Smile Lift to create a more positive appearance.
Nose, chin, and neck
When it comes to anti-aging treatments, the nose, chin, and neck are often overlooked. By strategically targeting the muscles in or around these areas, our team can achieve a smoother, more youthful look. Here are some options to consider:
- Nasal BOTOX: This procedure is designed for lines that form around the nose (also called "bunny lines").
- Chin BOTOX: We can use BOTOX to reduce unwanted dimpling or wrinkling on the chin.
- Barbie BOTOX: This term refers to reducing visible neck bands some patients have as a result of aging.
Is BOTOX treatment safe?
BOTOX treatment is safe when administered by trained professionals. However, it's important to only receive cosmetic injections from a licensed and experienced provider who knows how to administer the product in the approved areas. At Brickell Cosmetic Center, we always follow proper safety protocols to ensure a successful procedure. Rest assured that we'll take the time to discuss any concerns and thoroughly explain the process.
