Is it possible to get Botox done in the temples if I have a receded hairline?

Question

Is it possible to get Botox on the temples of a receded hairline? (I’ve heard that Botox will not work on “the head” and that anything above the adolescent hairline is considered head territory, not face). Please advise.

Botox injections can be administered in the temples, but it's important to consult with a qualified medical professional to determine if it's suitable for your specific situation, especially if you have a receded hairline. They can assess your individual anatomy and discuss the potential risks and benefits. Keep in mind that Botox won't change your hairline but may address concerns related to temple wrinkles or lines.

There are no constrictions to Botox injections due to the hairline location. Botox is even used throughout the scalp to stop sweating issues.
