It can be so disheartening when you get up, look in the mirror and the face looking back at you doesn’t reflect the person that you feel you are inside. Years of enjoying life have created wrinkles and your skin no longer has that youthful bounce that it had when you were 23. There are some areas of your face that tend to be the most vulnerable to wrinkles. These wrinkles can be reduced through the use of Botox. Botox treatments can give your skin some additional vitality and spring. There are some common areas that patients choose to treat with Botox.

Common Botox Treatment Areas

1. Eyes

Our eyes are often the brightest features of our faces. However, years of smiling and squinting can create crows feet on the outer edge of the eye. Other fine lines can appear around the eyes. Botox can remove those unsightly wrinkles and brighten the look of your eyes.

2. Brows

Our brows help us express our emotions. We constantly furrow our brows when we are concentrating or are unhappy. These constantly changing emotions can cause deep wrinkles to form above our brows and our forehead. These wrinkles can cause a person to look as though they are continuously angry or discontented. Treating your forehead and the area between your eyebrows can revive your face’s pleased appearance and make you seem much more friendly.

3. Lips

Smiling and frowning can cause curved wrinkles to appear around the edge of your lips. Also, fine lines can appear right below your lips. Botox treatments in these areas can help to remove these wrinkles. It can also make your lips look larger and fuller so that your smile can truly shine.

4. Cheeks

Our cheeks are supposed to be full and bright. However, when they lose their bounce, skin can begin to sag and wrinkles will form. To keep their fullness, many people choose to use Botox on their cheeks in order to bring youthfulness back to their faces.

5. Jawline

Doctors have now discovered another use for Botox that can change the shape of your face. Many individuals do not like the look of their square jawline. Botox can reduce the size of the masseter muscles, which give jawlines their square shape. With Botox treatments, estheticians can round out the jawline to give their patients the oval face that they desire.

Talk with Your Esthetician

It is important to discuss your desires for your Botox treatments with your esthetician. Ask your esthetician about the benefits, any risks related to Botox, and if it is the best type of treatment for you. Your esthetician should be able to recommend where Botox should be done and where it is unnecessary. Botox also has additional benefits including easing:

• Migraine Headaches
• Hyperhidrosis (Excessive Sweating)
• Dystonia (Muscle Spasms)
• Chronic Pain
• Jaw Tension

Your Botox treatments should only be done by a trained esthetician under the supervision of a medical doctor. This will ensure that the procedure is done properly and the chance of any side effects is reduced.
