Botox Hot Spots

By Anka Sanori


There are many cosmetic reasons for which Botox injections are widely used. In the last few years there has been a significant increase in its use with more and more people seeking to change the way they look and shave off years with this simple and quick treatment. The reason for this primarily lies with how quickly the procedure can be performed, how simple the entire process is, the excellent result and the low cost associated with botox.

Their most common site botox application is to the muscles and skin on the face, helping relax them and reducing the presence of fine lines and wrinkles. The most commonly injected sites include:

- Forehead wrinkles

- Crow's feet lines around the eyes

- Vertical '11' lines between eyebrows

Forehead wrinkles

These 'frown lines' are one of the most common sites for botox injection. The forehead muscles are constantly being used and the skin and muscles are constantly under stress, so it is natural for frown lines and wrinkles to form. As one of the first signs of aging, it is targeted first. Forehead lines seem to be the most troublesome amongst all facial creases for patients. Treatment is simple, quick and effective and requires no anaesthesia. Repeat injections are usually required to preserve the crease-free look, but effects can last up to 6 months.

Crow's feet lines around the eyes

Due to constant muscle use, fine lines form at the corners of the eyes - these are referred to as crow's feet. As a sign of aging, it is unfortunate yet unavoidable. Botox injections can effectively reduce these lines without giving the skin a stretched appearance, restoring the look that younger, healthier skin appears like. Crow's feet treatment is the next sought-after treatment. Just like other botox treatments, the results can take effect for up to 6 months, and additional treatments may be required after that.

Vertical '11' lines

When frowning, these are the two lines that form between the eyebrows. The depth of these lines can be reduced with Botox injections, and effectively smoothed out. The procedure takes around 10 to 15 minutes to perform and the results are excellent.

These are the top 3 sites where botox is injected on the face. More rare are other sites such as chin lifts and botox injections around the mouth that may be performed.

Conclusion

When it comes to achieving great cosmetic results that will result in younger looking skin devoid of fine lines and wrinkles, Botox still remains one of the most preferred treatments.
