How is Botox used?
Botox injections can be used in a myriad of ways. The following areas can be treated with injections:
- Forehead lines
- Frown lines
- Bunny lines (on the nose)
- Gummy smiles
- Dimpled chin
- Platysmal (neck) bands
- Eyebrow shaping
- Crow’s feet
- Lip lines
- Marionette lines
Fine lines and wrinkles caused by muscle contractions are best treated with Botox injections. They reduce the muscle tightening that caused the imperfections on the skin. The skin then begins to smooth and patients look and feel younger! Botox injections can help prevent new wrinkles and folds from forming while reducing the existing ones. Injections are quick, taking only a few minutes and almost painless with the use of special instruments and topical skin numbing cream. We have the experience and the technique to make you look natural and better but not “overdone”. Injections last approximately four to six months, so patients are encouraged to book appointments for reinjection to maintain the results.
