5 Ways BOTOX® Can Enhance Your Facial Features

5 Areas Of The Face BOTOX® Can Help Improve

Crow’s Feet

Crow’s feet are those little lines that show up in the outer corners of your eyes. When you laugh or smile, your facial muscles push your cheeks upwards causing your eyes to slightly squint. Over time, as your skin loses elasticity, these facial movements cause permanent wrinkles in the corners of your eyes. BOTOX® can be injected into this area of the face to paralyze the muscle contraction around the eye, thereby smoothing out those pesky crow’s feet wrinkles. 

Forehead Wrinkles

Forehead wrinkles can be a reflection of lifestyle factors such as age, eating an unhealthy diet, and stress. Eventually, the skin on your forehead will lose its elasticity resulting in more noticeable forehead fine lines and wrinkles. Forehead wrinkles are one of the top skincare concerns among many BOTOX® patients. BOTOX® can be injected into the forehead to reduce their appearance and prevent further wrinkle development. 

Glabellar Lines

Over the years, frowning can take its toll on your face. When this occurs, it results in noticeable wrinkles and fine lines in the crease between your eyebrows. These frown lines are called “ the elevens” because they appear as vertical lines. This is a very common area that BOTOX® patients seek to get treated. 

Corners Of The Mouth

As you age, droopy mouth corners may be one of the first signs of aging you see. Droopy mouth corners result in a tired and upset appearance which can affect first impressions with others. Thankfully, BOTOX® is able to successfully treat this concern to tighten the skin in this area and make it look less saggy. 

Eyebrows

By today’s beauty standards, uplifted eyebrows are one of the most sought-after looks. Lifted eyebrows can create the illusion of a freshly awakened, youthful appearance to help you embrace a wide-eyed look. The current trend with eyebrows focuses more on shape and height rather than their size. To achieve this wide-eyed appearance that is famously sported by fashion models Kendall Jenner and Bella Hadid, BOTOX® injections are required to uplift the eyebrows away from your eyes and diminish their tired, droopy appearance.
