When you're looking for effective anti-aging solutions, dermatologists and skin surgeons alike encourage patients to explore Botox^® injections in addition to age spot treatment and chemical face peels. This FDA-approved injectable stops muscles from contracting by blocking neurotransmission signals to and from the brain. In turn, fine lines and wrinkles can become less visible and the development of new lines moving forward can be slowed. Here are a few areas of the face that can benefit from Botox. 

4 Areas of the Face Ideal for Botox Treatment

1. Forehead

Sun exposure coupled with years of making facial expressions can lead to wrinkles on your forehead. Over time, the wrinkles that your face naturally creates when you furrow your brow, raise your eyebrows, or focus intently can appear when your face is relaxed. Botox injections in the forehead will reduce the appearance of these lines and restrict movement, so these wrinkles do not develop further.

2. Eyes

Similar to the forehead, the process of smiling through the years can lead to the development of fine lines, also known as crow's feet, on the edges of your eyes. Botox can smooth these areas. In addition, repeated movements coupled with the thinning of skin due to aging can create creasing underneath the eye. Botox injections can instantly smooth these areas, giving your face a youthful and energized appearance. 

3. Mouth

Skin elasticity naturally decreases as you age. This can create frown lines around your mouth or the appearance of a frown when your face is relaxed because the skin has begun to droop. Botox in these areas can help tighten skin and will eliminate the appearance of a grimace or frown. 

4. Chin and Neckline

The effects of gravity, weakened collagen in the skin, and overworked facial muscles due to chewing and even speaking can lead to wrinkles and sagging along the chin and neckline. Botox in these areas rectifies both vertical and horizontal lines while curbing skin drooping or what's colloquially referred to as "turkey neck."
