Yes, smile lines can be treated with Botox. However, it is a fact that Botox reduces muscle activity, and we need sufficient muscle activity around the mouth, so the doctor can only inject a small amount of Botox in this area, and, occasionally, the Botox injected is not enough to make a significant difference.
Importantly, it is best to have Botox injected by a highly trained physician, specifically a cosmetic dermatologist or a plastic surgeon. If you go to an experienced physician specialist, you can also have special areas treated, such as wrinkles and bags under the eyes, neck lines, bunny lines, and wrinkles around the lips and mouth (i.e, smile lines). Even a natural-looking “brow lift” can be achieved with Botox when it is administered skillfully.
