Botox treatment areas or commonly treated areas involve the forehead, frown lines at the root of the nose, and the so-called “11 lines” or “laugh, smile or cry lines” nearby the eyes.

Today, forehead wrinkles and frown lines around the eyes no longer need to be an inevitable part of aging. Botox is one of the methods that we use to help reduce some of the signs of aging (lines and wrinkles). The “dynamic” wrinkle lines increase with age and frequently create a tense, stressed appearance. Botox Cosmetic and offers individuals with dynamic wrinkles smoother skin and a natural well-rested appearance.
Botulinum Toxin can be used to improve but not completely get rid of the folds between the outer part of the nostrils and corners of the lips, and fine lines above the lips, creating voluptuous lips. Vertical muscle bands in the neck can also be softened with botulinum toxin. When a small amount of Botox is into specific places around the eyebrows, a “chemical brow lift” or “Liquid Facelift” can be achieved which can cause a change in the eyebrow shape (rounded or peaked) and can even create a mild lifting of the eyebrows. For deeper wrinkles, a combination of botulinum toxin and a filler such as your own fat (through our Fat Transplantation) or Juvederm XC is often recommended to achieve maximum improvement.
Advanced Treatment Areas
Botox can also be used in other areas such as a treatment option for sweaty palms or hands also the feet, and underarms are able to be injected with botox for sweat.
