For which areas on the face do you use botox besides the forehead area?

Botox generally works very well to treat forehead lines, crow’s feet, and frown lines between the eyebrows. It can also be used in other cases to lift the brow, slim the jawline, reduce a gummy smile, and more. However, Botox is not considered the best method to treat nasolabial folds. These lines are usually best treated with either a hyaluronic acid dermal filler such as Restylane or Juvederm or a collagen building filler like Radiesse.

Hello,

Thank you for your question.

Botox works by weakening the muscles that cause
wrinkles. It can be used in many areas on the face. Based on your goals, you may want to consider a dermal filler.
Injected dermal filler focus on restoring volume and rejuvenating the look
of your features and is what is typically injected into nasolabial fold. 

I recommend you book a consultation with a
qualified injector,to discuss your options.

Take care.

Botox is commonly used to reduce wrinkling between the eyebrows, to soft and crow's feet lines, to elevate heavy eyebrows, to smooth forehead lines, to treat enlarged masseter muscles, to treat overactive muscles which may cause dimpling in the chin, to relax muscles which people down the corners of the mouth, and even to treat muscles around the nose. To determine if you are a candidate for Botox in other areas of your face other than the forehead I would suggest consultation with a physician who is an expert in facial aesthetics.

Botox can be used in multiple areas of the face to relax underlying muscles and lessen wrinkles. But it does not produce volume. For that, you would need a filler. I often use Botox and fillers in conjunction with each other for a non-surgical facelift. Best, Dr. Nazarian

Botox works by temporarily weakening the muscles and will last about
3-4 months. Botox can be injected in crows feet, brow, around the eyes, mouth, lips and chin,
neck to help soften the bands and “bunny lines” between the nose. This should be done in
the hands of a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon or Dermatologist
with Expertise in performing Botox and understands the underlying basic anatomy.
