Transform Your Look with Strategic Injections.

In the world of aesthetic medicine, one revolutionary treatment has gained immense popularity for its ability to smooth wrinkles and rejuvenate the face: Botox®. This non-surgical treatment involves the injection of botulinum toxin into specific areas of the face and neck, temporarily relaxing the underlying muscles and resulting in a more youthful appearance. 

What is Botox? 

Botox® injections have revolutionized the field of non-surgical cosmetic procedures, offering a safe and effective way to achieve a more youthful and refreshed appearance. By strategically injecting Botox® into specific facial and neck areas, individuals can minimize the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and other signs of aging. Whether it’s smoothing the forehead, reducing frown lines, or refreshing the neck, Botox® provides an opportunity to unlock your full aesthetic potential. 

Let’s delve into the transformative power of Botox® and discover the key facial and neck regions that can be enhanced and how many units of Botox® are typically needed. 

What areas can you get Botox?

The glabella, the area between the eyebrows, also known as “frown lines” or “11 lines,” is a prime target for Botox® injections. 

Approximately 15-20 units of Botox are typically used in this area to soften the creases and achieve a more relaxed and refreshed appearance.

The forehead, also known as the frontalis, is a common area where Botox® is applied to minimize the appearance of horizontal forehead lines and vertical frown lines. By selectively relaxing the muscles responsible for these lines, Botox® can help create a smoother and more youthful forehead.

Typically, 8-24 units of Botox® are used for this area, with the exact amount depending on the severity of the lines and the individual’s unique anatomy. 

The outer corners of the eyes, known as the crow’s feet, are notorious for revealing signs of aging. Fortunately, Botox® injections in this area can effectively minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, resulting in a more youthful and vibrant eye area.

Usually, 6-12 units of Botox® are used per side to smooth out these lines.

Bunny lines are those horizontal lines that appear on the bridge of the nose when we scrunch our noses. These lines can be softened with Botox® injections, helping to achieve a more youthful appearance.

Typically requires 2-4 units per side. 

Botox® can be injected into the tip of the nose to treat a droopy tip. This non-surgical nose job treats the depressor septi nasi muscle, which pulls the nose down from the upper lip as we age. This paralyzes the depressor septi nasi muscle, resulting in the nose having a lifted and lighter look.

An average of 2-4 units of Botox are injected right underneath the septum of the nose. 

For those who would like a fuller, plumper, and natural-appearing upper lip, without the use of filler, the Botox® Lip Flip can do the trick. The Lip Flip involves the precise placement of Botox® along the upper lip muscle, near the border, to relax and “flip” the lip, making more of the upper lip visible. The Lip Flip is popular for those who would like a less invasive approach to the illusion of fuller lips and a less “gummy” smile, without adding a ton of extra volume.

The lip flip requires just 5-8 units of Botox®.

Botox® can also be strategically injected into the jawline and chin area to address concerns such as a square jaw, or dimpling of the chin. Injecting Botox® in the masseter muscles located at the back of the jaw can dramatically change the contours of your face by making it more oval. It can also exaggerate the jawline by adding more firmness to an undefined jaw or by fixing asymmetries in the jaw. 

The amount of Botox® used in these areas varies depending on the desired outcome and the individual’s anatomy, typically ranging from 20-40 units.

Botox® injections in the neck area have gained popularity for treating the appearance of horizontal lines, commonly referred to as “necklace lines” or “tech neck.” Botox® injections in the neck can provide a smoother and more youthful appearance, enhancing the overall rejuvenation of the face and décolletage.

The amount of Botox® used for the neck can vary greatly depending on the individual’s anatomy and the severity of the lines. On average, 10-40 units may be required for optimal results.

As with any cosmetic procedure, it’s important to remember that results may vary, and it may take a few days to see the full effects. Botox® typically lasts for three to four months and regular maintenance treatments are often necessary to maintain the desired results.
