BOTOX® Cosmetic is an injectable medication delivered to the muscles in order to temporarily improve the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and other signs of aging. Most people are aware of the injectable’s ability to reduce moderate to severe frown lines, forehead lines, and crow’s feet; however, there are also lesser known BOTOX® Cosmetic treatment areas, including:
- Brow area: If skin laxity or drooping along the brow is observed, BOTOX® Cosmetic can be injected into this region to provide a subtle lift to the brows without surgery.
- Lip and chin wrinkles: Vertical fine lines around the lips and/or chin — sometimes called “smoker’s lines” can be significantly improved upon injection of BOTOX® Cosmetic and other neuromodulators.
- Corners of the mouth: When gently delivered to the area around the lips and mouth, BOTOX® Cosmetic can alleviate age-related drooping in the corners of the mouth.
- Masseter muscle (jaw): The masseter muscle extends from the far sides of the cheeks down to the lower jaw. When injected into this region, BOTOX® Cosmetic can provide a slimming effect to the entire face. Symptoms of clenching and grinding can be improved, as well.
While results from BOTOX® Cosmetic can be elegant and rejuvenating, there is no substitute for experience and it’s important to be under the care of an exceptionally qualified injector when receiving BOTOX® Cosmetic injections.
