Which areas of the face can Botox treat?

Where on the face can you have Botox?

What these treatment areas have in common is that Botox helps the muscles to relax and smooths out the skin. The result is a smoother and more youthful appearance.

The forehead

Botox injections in the forehead help to smooth out horizontal lines and wrinkles that form because of facial expressions and ageing.

The eyebrows

Injecting Botox around the eyebrows can create a subtle lift that opens up the eyes for a more refreshed and alert appearance.

Frown lines

Frown lines (the glabella) are the vertical wrinkles that form between the eyebrows. They can give an irritated impression even when your face is completely relaxed.

Crow's feet

Crow's feet are the fine lines that appear at the outer corners of the eyes. The treatment relaxes the muscles that cause these lines to form when you smile or squint.

Under the eyes

This delicate area requires precise application to avoid affecting your natural expressions.

Nose wrinkles

”Bunny lines” are the wrinkles that form along the sides of the nose when you smile or scrunch up your face.

Lip lines

These appear from things like smoking or pursing your lips.

Visible gums

A ”gummy smile”, where excess gum tissue shows when you smile, can be corrected with Botox. By relaxing the muscles of the upper lip, Botox allows the lip to cover more of the gum.

Drooping corners of the mouth

Downturned corners of the mouth can often give a sad or angry appearance.

Dimpling in the chin

Indentations in the chin, sometimes called an ”orange peel chin”, can be smoothed out with Botox. The cause can be excessive flexing of the chin, but it is also part of natural ageing. 

Medical uses and other areas

Botox is not only used for cosmetic purposes but also has several medical applications. Here are some important medical uses for Botox outside the face.

Migraine

Botox has been shown to be effective at reducing the frequency and severity of chronic migraine. By injecting Botox into specific areas of the head and neck, patients can experience considerable relief from migraine symptoms.

Teeth grinding

Botox can be used to treat teeth grinding, by relaxing the chewing muscles. This helps to reduce the strain and damage caused by excessive teeth grinding.

Excessive sweating

Botox is an effective treatment for excessive sweating. It can be injected into areas such as the armpits, hands, feet and forehead to block the nerves that trigger the sweat glands, which gives considerable relief from excessive sweating.
