While aging itself may be inevitable, that doesn’t mean that facial lines must be. With safe, natural-looking BOTOX injections, you can treat a variety of different wrinkles that could make you look and feel older on the outside than you do on the inside. Here’s a closer look at seven common lines that BOTOX can temporarily erase to restore your youthful appearance!
Glabellar Lines
Also known as “11’s,” glabellar lines are the most common type of wrinkle treated with BOTOX. They are located on the forehead, between the eyebrows, running vertically between your eyebrows on the top of your nose.
Forehead Lines
Forehead lines are deep furrows that span horizontally across your frontalis muscle. They can often be more noticeable if you raise your eyebrows, as this causes the frontalis to contract.
Marionette Lines
Much like the mouth creases on the puppets they’re named for, marionette lines stretch from the corners of your mouth toward the chin. Although they can be very deep, BOTOX can soften and smooth them, so they’re not as pronounced.
Bunny Lines
While your glabellar lines are vertical wrinkles, bunny lines run across the top of the nose horizontally, appearing more prominently when you scrunch your face like a rabbit.
Crow’s Feet
Crow’s feet are those crinkly creases that appear at the outer corner of the eyes when you laugh or smile. However, as you age, they may begin to stick around even when your face is still, thanks to a lack of collagen.
Lipstick Lines
Lipstick lines are common in patients who are smokers, but they can also be genetic. They get their name because they surround the lips, but one of their most frustrating qualities is that your lipstick may “bleed” into them, making your makeup a mess!
Chin Dimpling
Chin dimples are the small pucker marks that dot your chin, making it look similar in texture to an orange peel. Although BOTOX can often help to temporarily reduce this bumpy appearance, eliminating it may require the use of other products along with BOTOX.
Remember, if you notice any of these seven types of facial wrinkles staring back at you when you look in the mirror, BOTOX is here to help. To learn more about this treatment and to see how it can benefit you, schedule a consultation with your cosmetic dentist today!
