Every smile, squint, and frown tells a story, but over time, those facial expressions can leave some wrinkles behind. While these lines are a natural part of aging, some patients would rather keep their youthful appearance as long as possible. This is where BOTOX comes in. This treatment offers a quick, non-invasive way to soften lines and turn back the clock on your skin. Here are six common types of wrinkles BOTOX can help you make disappear.
1. Forehead Lines
Also known as “worry lines,” or “surprise lines,” these horizontal creases stretch across your forehead when you raise your eyebrows. They can often appear as early as your late 20s or 30s, and the longer they stay, the deeper they get. BOTOX relaxes the underlying muscles that cause them, creating a smoother forehead without limiting expression.
2. Frown Lines (Glabellar Lines)
These vertical lines appear between your eyebrows when you frown or concentrate. As they deepen, they can make you look stressed or tired even when you’re not. A few BOTOX injections here can relax the area and create a softer, more approachable appearance while at rest.
3. Crow’s Feet
Crow’s feet are the fine lines that spread out from the corners of your eyes. While they can be unflattering, they’re often associated with a life well-lived because they come from laughing and smiling. BOTOX reduces their visibility by calming the small muscles around your eyes, allowing you to keep smiling without the extra creases.
4. Bunny Lines
These subtle wrinkles appear on either side of your nose when you laugh or scrunch your face. Though small, they can become more noticeable over time. A light touch of BOTOX smooths these out while keeping your natural expressions intact.
5. Marionette Lines
Marionette lines form around the corners of your mouth and can make your expression seem sad or drooping. When BOTOX is used carefully in this area, it can lift the corners slightly for a more youthful, confident appearance.
6. Chin Dimples (Orange Peel Chin)
Repeated movement of your chin muscles can create a textured, dimpled appearance. A small amount of BOTOX relaxes this area, smoothing uneven skin and creating a softer, more youthful lower face.
BOTOX isn’t about changing who you are—it’s about helping you look as young as you feel. Whether you’re smoothing frown lines or brightening your eyes, your dentist can create a personalized treatment plan that helps you say goodbye to wrinkles and hello to a more youthful you.
