How Many Units Of Botox Would I Need To Address Laugh Lines Around The Mouth?

Botox is not used to treat laugh lines, or marionette lines, around the mouth. You will need a filler to smooth out your laugh lines. There are a few different fillers your dermatologist can use to correct the marionette lines, depending on how deep your lines are and the results you want to achieve. Restylane and Juvederm are great filler options for many patients who want to smooth out their marionette lines. 

Since Botox is used to relax muscles, it is not generally the product of choice to address the laugh lines around the mouth.  Fillers -- such as Juvederm, Restylane, Perlane, Radiesse, among others -- are the most commonly used solutions to address this concern.
