Botox Beyond Wrinkles: Areas of Strategic Treatment for Full-Face Rejuvenation
At The Body Squad, we think Botox is about restoring balance, softening expression, and producing harmony across the faceโnot only about freezing wrinkles. Though most people consider Botox as a tool for crow’s feet or forehead lines, the truth is it can accomplish much more.
We investigate all the Botox sites on the face that support natural, complete facial rejuvenation on this blog. You are in the right place if you are investigating injectables and wondering “where on the face can you get Botox for the best results?”
The Science of Botox: What Is It?
Botox is a neuromodulator that has been approved for use by the FDA. It functions by temporarily relaxing selected muscle groups, removing the movement induced wrinkles from frowning, squinting, or raising eyebrows. It is most commonly used on the forehead and areas around the eyes, and Botox can be placed on the entire face to relax strong contractions, balance facial features, and help achieve a youthful and refreshing look.
It might surprise you to learn that Botox is a purified protein extracted from botulinum toxin type A. It works by preventing the transmission of signals from the nerves to the targeted muscles for some time, therefore, stopping the contractions. This allows for smoothing the skin over windows which results in moving her facial expression and muscles of the face. There is also prevention of building up of stronger face lines in the future. For these reasons, it is considered as both corrective and preventive measure in modern aesthetics.
What to Expect from Botox
Botox treatments are quick, relatively painless, and require no downtime. A typical session will take no more than 20 minutes on average, so you can carry on as normal with your day following your botox session. At the very most, you will feel a small pinch during the injections. You will see results as soon as 3 to 5 days, with full effects visible two weeks following your session.
Who Is a Good Fit for Botox?
Botox is an ideal treatment for adults with visible fine lines and wrinkles caused by repeated facial expressions (e.g., frowning, smiling, or squinting). We would say botox is a fantastic choice for any candidate looking to prevent wrinkles from forming in the first place, and that is why we never base our recommendations off age when it comes to getting botox. Whether you’re in your late 20s or late 40s, botox might be the right fit for you and rest assured that it is safe and effective when administered by skilled professionals; such is the team at The Body Squad.
The Forehead & Frown Lines (The OG Botox Zones)
The horizontal, โexpression linesโ across the forehead and the vertical “11s” between the eyebrows (glabellar lines) can make us look tense, tired, or older than we feel. Treating these areas for Botox helps:
- Relax overactive muscles
- Smooth creases without stiffness
- Prevent deepening lines over time
Around the Eyes: Crowโs Feet & Under-Eye Smoothing
Smiling is beautiful, but squinting and crowโs feet are unfortunately (commonly) byproducts of smiling and laughing. Botox softens the fine lines that fan out from the outer corners of your eyes, making your whole eye area appear brighter and more โalertโ. Botox can also be carefully placed to address under-eye crinkling in some patients, making it easier to apply makeup and other skincare for smoother looking finishes.
Brows & Botox: The Subtle Lift You Didnโt Know You Needed
A strategic Botox brow lift can open up the eye area without surgery. By relaxing the muscles that pull the brows downward, Botox allows the lifting muscles to work more effectively, thereby giving you a subtle arch and a more relaxed look.
Botox is perfect for clients who:
- Have hooded lids
- Want more lift but are adverse to filler as a solution
- Prefer a “fox eye” or elevated outer brow look
Bunny Lines on the Nose: Small Detail, Big Difference
“Bunny lines” are the small diagonal wrinkles that appear on the nose when you scrunch your face. Treating this area with a touch of Botox adds a touch of refinement and can complement other areas like the forehead and glabella for total upper-face symmetry. This small adjustment can make your results look more cohesive and polished.
The Lip Flip & Perioral Area: Subtle Volume Without Filler
If you wish to enhance your natural smile without exploring lip filler, a botox lip flip will relax the muscle above the upper lip, allowing it to gently roll outward and look fuller. In essence, you can enjoy a very similar visual effect as filler with botox. It also be placed around the mouth to:
- Reduce vertical lip lines (also called smokerโs lines)
- Relax a gummy smile
- Smooth marionette lines or drooping corners
Chin Smoothingโฆ Bye-Bye Pebble Chin
Over time, some clients develop dimpling (often referred to as โpebble textureโ) around the chin area from repetitive muscle contractions. Botox in the chin area smooths the skin and creates a more youthful contour. It can also help balance the lower face in a way that makes the lips, chin, and jawline look more structurally aesthetic.
The Jawline & Neck: Tension Relief and Contour
One of our favorite facial areas to treat with botox is the jawline. Placed in the masseter muscles (jaw muscles), botox has the power to:
- Soften a square jawline
- Relieve teeth grinding and clenching
- Slim the face for a more heart-shaped look
In the neck, the Nefertiti lift technique targets the platysmal bands to improve jawline definition and reduce neck tension.
