Botox injections are commonly injected into three main sites – forehead lines, crow's feet lines around the eyes and the vertical '11' frown lines between the eyebrows.
Botox is best for minimizing crow's feet, forehead wrinkles and vertical lines between the eyebrows. A few quick injections produce noticeable results without radically transforming your expression. Softening these lines and wrinkles can help you look years younger, but in a very subtle way.
Treating forehead lines, crow's feet, and frown lines are officially the most common and popular uses for cosmetic Botox.
Botox can be injected into bulky Masseter muscles on both sides of your face. This relaxes the muscles, giving an overall appearance of a slimmer jawline, and possibly more pronounced cheekbones.
Can Botox® Tighten Jowls? Yes, Botox® can address sagging skin around the jawline to a degree, by relaxing the muscles around the area and to help smooth out the skin. Sometimes called a “Nefertiti lift,” Botox® injections to soften the jowls are a great non-surgical alternative for a chin lift.
Injecting Botox into the chewing muscle (masseter muscle) will cause it to become smaller, and the lower face will appear thinner. It isn't used to make a round or chubby face smaller, only for those with prominent masseter muscles that define the shape of their face.
There's a common misconception that Botox makes you look older when it wears off. On the contrary, regular Botox treatments make you look younger even after the neurotoxin wears off.
The aim of getting Botox in your 20s is to prevent wrinkles happening in your early 30s. Botox in your 20s is best used as preventative measure to avoid the fine lines and wrinkles occurring and becoming a more permanent fixture when our facial expressions are resting.
If you want to prevent the earliest fine lines from becoming full-blown wrinkles, preventative Botox can be the solution. Botox is approved for patients who are 18 years and older and most experts agree that patients in their mid to late 20s and early 30s are at a good age for preventative Botox treatment.
If you have treatments at regular intervals, then your muscles will become weaker over time. This means that the effects will last longer. Try to avoid the sun, especially on the day of treatment. Sun exposure boosts blood circulation, causing blood vessels to dilate, potentially dispersing Botox faster than normal.
When injected properly by a medical doctor, you can expect to see results after your first treatment. It can take two to four days before the weakening of the muscle begins and movement is stalled. You can see the maximum results of your treatment anywhere from ten to fourteen days after treatment.
There is no upper age limit for people who want to have Botox. In fact, many women enjoy the refreshed look they can get from Botox and complementary treatments when they are in their 60s or older.
In certain circumstances, botulinum toxin injections are not recommended, including if: you have a skin infection. you're unwell in any way. you have a neuromuscular condition like myasthenia gravis.
In reality, the enhancements made with BOTOX injections can look exceptionally natural when performed by an experienced injector. Furthermore, patients can choose how subtle or dramatic they'd like their results to be.
While it is commonly injected to address concerns of wrinkles and fine lines in areas such as smile or forehead lines, Botox can be injected near the eyes as well!
As we age gravity pulls on our lower face, leading to sagging jowls, decreased elasticity and hanging skin of the chin, neck and lower face. Injecting Botox® in this area can provide a subtle lift, helping you look younger and refreshed.
In general, most people should have Botox injections once every four months is usually an ideal frequency for this treatment. But because everybody has a different body, you may need your injections more or less frequently.
SUMMARY. Botox is most commonly used for 3 areas in the upper face, between your eyebrows (glabellar), your forehead and your crows feet. It's very effective at stopping your muscles from contracting and therefore helps to smooth our your skin.
Between 10 to 50 Units of botox
A forehead botox injection can require between 10 to 50 units needed in the forehead depending on the severity of your wrinkles. Allergan, the manufacturer of Botox suggests the amount of units that's recommended in the “five” sites of the forehead is 4 units.
Botox won't have any effect on excess fat that makes the face round or chubby. It only benefits those with prominent jaw muscles that give the lower face a square or broad shape. Botox can be injected into the masseter (jaw) muscle to temporarily relax it.
