Botox for crow's feet
It is difficult to tell from the photo and, as many others have noted, your bangs are covering the brow and forehead areas which so many patients treat with Botox. You may benefit from Botox injections in the crow's feet and it is possible that you could have Restylane in the lower lid region to compensate for the early aging.

BOTOX works well to treat frown lines, forehead wrinkles and crow's feet.

Botox works best in the upper face
Certainly, in looking at the photos you have provided it would seem that Botox would do you the most good in the upper face specifically the forehead and crow's feet or smile lines around the eyes. Botox can also be used judiciously for lipstick lines typically in older individuals if necessary. I hope this information helps.

Which part of face NEEDS Botox
Sasha,
We all NEED oxygen, food and water, shelter and affection. As far as I am concerned, while Botox is great - it does not really qualify as a human "need".

"Poor Man's" Botox
Hi Shasha,
I do not see many lines or wrinkles on your face. Botox is used to treat wrinkles as well as lift eyebrows, corners of the mouth, and improve the angle of the jaw.

By the way, hair "bangs" are also known as "poor man's Botox".
Good luck and be well.

How many times is Botox needed for face injections
Hi Shasha,
Botox typically lasts 4-5 months so you would most likely need injections about 3 times per year for the glabella (area between your eyebrows), crows feet around your eyes and the forehead. Botox is also used in the lower face a lot especially around the mouth and in muscles near the jaw to help turn up the corners of the mouth. It tends to last for a shorter period of time in the lower face and around the mouth most likely due to constant movement in those areas.
The good thing...
