4 Cosmetic Concerns That Botox Can Address
When people think of Botox, they automatically think of the wrinkle-smoothing powers this popular cosmetic treatment is known for. While this is the most common reason patients opt for Botox, there are several other uses for this injectable that have made it so popular amongst male and female patients of varying ages.
This includes:
1. Softening of Jawline and Chin
If you have a face shape that is too wide at the jaw, the culprit behind this is most likely your masseter muscles (chewing muscles). As you age, these muscles become more pronounced, and it can cause your face to look more masculine.
By injecting Botox into these muscles, you’ll be able to slim down your face and give it a more symmetrical and feminine look. With repeated Botox injections, this will result in a smaller jawline.
Why Should I Consider Botox for Recontouring My Jawline?
Compared to more traditional jawline recontouring procedures, which involved shaving the jawbone, removing the muscle or outer layer of the jaw, Botox jawline contouring is non-surgical and non-invasive, which means there is no:
- Downtime
- Surgical risks
- Excessive costs
You’ll be able to resume your normal activities just a few days after your treatment!
4 SIGNS YOU SHOULD CONSIDER BOTOX
2. Eliminating Wrinkles and Fine Lines
Botox, along with Dysport and Xeomin, is a wrinkle relaxant. This means that it works by temporarily paralyzing muscles which underlie dynamic wrinkles, such as those:
- On your forehead
- At the sides of your eye
- Between your eyebrows
By strategically injecting Botox into these areas, existing wrinkles will be smoothed out and you can prevent them from etching even deeper into your skin.
3. Stopping Excessive Sweating (Hyperhidrosis)
Botox has had some incredible results as a treatment for hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating). Your Botox specialist will inject the Botox into any area that has overactive sweat glands, which includes:
- Face
- Forehead
- Palms
- Soles of the feet
- Underarms
How Does Botox Treatment Work for Hyperhidrosis? Botox prevents your nerves from signaling to your sweat glands that they should produce sweat, thus preventing the accumulation of sweat in the injected area.
4. Smoothing Chest and Neck Wrinkles
The horizontal wrinkles that show up on your neck as you age can be addressed with Botox. When it’s injected between the lines that extend all around your neck, it results in a smoother appearance.
In addition to this, the vertical décolletage wrinkles that form with age on a woman's chest can also be smoothed out with Botox injected in the pectoral muscles.
