AREAS OF FOCUS
Forehead
Botox injectables on the forehead effectively reduce the appearance of horizontal lines caused by repetitive facial movements, such as raising the eyebrows. Over time, these lines can become more pronounced, but by relaxing the underlying muscles, Botox smooths out wrinkles. The botulinum toxin also prevents them from deepening over time.
AVERAGE UNITS: 10-20
AREAS OF FOCUS
Glabella
Botox for the glabella, also known as the frown lines or “11s” between the eyebrows, helps soften deep creases that develop from repeated furrowing of the brows. These lines can create a stern or stressed look even when the face is at rest, Botox injections help create a smoother and more relaxed appearance. Patients often find that Botox in this area not only reduces existing wrinkles but also prevents them from becoming more pronounced.
AVERAGE UNITS: 20-30
AREAS OF FOCUS
Brow Lift
Drooping or asymmetrical brows can result from muscle imbalances or natural aging, giving a tired or heavy-eyed appearance. However, Botox can be strategically injected around the brows to create a subtle lifting effect, often referred to as a Botox brow lift. By targeting specific muscles, this treatment enhances the natural arch of the eyebrows and opens up the eyes for a more alert and youthful appearance.
AVERAGE UNITS: 5-10
AREAS OF FOCUS
Bunny Lines
Bunny lines, the fine wrinkles that appear on the sides of the nose when smiling or scrunching the face, can be softened with Botox. This treatment relaxes the small muscles responsible for these lines, creating a smoother nasal bridge without impacting facial movement.
AVERAGE UNITS: 5-10
AREAS OF FOCUS
Crow's Feet
Crow’s feet are the fine lines that develop at the outer corners of the eyes due to frequent squinting, smiling, and sun exposure. These wrinkles can deepen over time, making the eyes appear aged or fatigued. Botox is placed in the delicate muscles around the eyes to relax movement, softening existing lines while allowing for natural facial expressions.
AVERAGE UNITS: 10-30
AREAS OF FOCUS
Masseters
Botox injections in the masseter muscles help slim the jawline and reduce jaw tension or clenching associated with teeth grinding, also known as bruxism. By relaxing these powerful muscles, Botox creates a more contoured, V-shaped facial profile while also alleviating discomfort associated with TMJ disorders.
AVERAGE UNITS: 50-100
AREAS OF FOCUS
Smile Lift
A Botox smile lift subtly elevates the corners of the mouth by relaxing the depressor anguli oris muscles, which are responsible for pulling the mouth downward. This can contribute to an aged or unhappy expression, even when at rest. Botox is precisely injected into these muscles to release the downward pull, subtly lifting the corners of the mouth for a more pleasant and youthful appearance.
AVERAGE UNITS: 4-6
AREAS OF FOCUS
Chin
Botox for the chin smooths out dimpling and an uneven or “pebble” texture caused by overactive mentalis muscles. While this effect can become more noticeable with age as the skin loses collagen and elasticity, relaxing this area with Botox creates a softer, more refined look.
AVERAGE UNITS: 4-8
AREAS OF FOCUS
Neck Bands
Botox injections in the neck target vertical platysmal bands, which become more prominent with age. By relaxing these muscles, Botox helps create a smoother, firmer neckline and a more youthful profile. This non-surgical approach to neck rejuvenation is a popular alternative to more invasive treatments, offering noticeable yet natural-looking improvements.
AVERAGE UNITS: 25-50
