The most popular use of Botox® is smoothing frown lines, but with a 70% increase in use over the last few years, it’s clear that Botox® is isn’t just for frown lines anymore. Whether it’s erasing those pesky “11” lines or finding a new approach to lines and wrinkles in the lower face and neck, you want only the most experienced providers when getting Botox.
Optimal injection placement and deep knowledge of facial anatomy can make the difference between an ultra-natural result and a scary frozen look, and that’s why Opal Aesthetics is the leading Botox practice in Edmond. Led by our physician, our highly experienced RN injectors are the best in their field. With extensive training and a commitment to ongoing education, they take the time to share that wealth of knowledge with you as you determine what treatment areas are right for you. Read on to learn about the Botox treatment areas that may surprise you.
Beyond Frown Lines: Botox Uses That May Surprise You
Botox is famed for its ability to smooth frown lines, forehead lines, and crow’s feet. Beyond a doubt, it’s an effective option for restoring a youthful and refreshed look in the top third of your face. Other injectables, for example, dermal fillers like Juvéderm®, are a great solution for volume loss in the face, so fillers are often used for deeper lines and wrinkles in the cheeks, lips, and smile lines.
But did you know that some of these areas are treatable with Botox, too? If the issue isn’t caused by volume loss but instead by muscle movement, Botox can treat many areas, such as:
- Bunny lines on the bridge of the nose
- Smoker’s lines in the lips
- Chin dimples
- Lower face heaviness (facial slimming)
- Horizontal or vertical neck lines due to aging or “tech neck”
- Gummy smile
While not the same as fillers, Botox can even add an illusion of volume in some situations. For example, a “lip flip” turns the upper lip up subtly, making it appear fuller.
Botox Beyond Aesthetics
Botox also has many non-aesthetic uses, including treating chronic tension headaches and TMJ disorders. Our RN injectors at Opal Aesthetics can tailor your Botox injections to your unique appearance and medical needs. We’re happy to discuss all the ways that Botox can work for you during a consultation.
