Botox Hot Spots

By Anka Sanori


Botox injections are frequently used for many cosmetic applications. This simple and quick treatment has become more popular in the last few years, as more people want to look younger and improve their appearance. It is popular because the procedure is done so quickly, the entire process is simple, it does not cost a lot, and offers excellent results.

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 three main sites most often injected are:

- Forehead wrinkles

- Crow's feet lines around the eyes

- Vertical '11' lines between eyebrows

Forehead wrinkles

This is probably the most common site amongst the three above where botox is injected, and is commonly called frown lines. It is natural for frown lines and wrinkles to form here because the forehead muscles are constantly being used and the skin and muscles are constantly under stress. As one of the first signs of aging, it is targeted first. And patients also seem to find forehead lines the most troublesome amongst all facial creases. 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 are very common, so they are the next popular treatment after frown lines. Effects can last for a period of up to 6 months following which additional treatments may be required, as is the case with other botox treatments.

Vertical '11' lines

These refer to the two lines between the eyebrows that form when frowning. Botox injections are useful in reducing the depth of these lines and smoothens them out effectively. The procedure takes around 10 to 15 minutes to perform and the results are excellent.

Botox is most often injected on the face into these top 3 sites. Botox injections around the mouth may be performed, and there are other sites like chin lifts, although these are much less common.

Conclusion

For excellent cosmetic results that offer younger looking skin free of wrinkles and fine lines, one of the most preferred treatments is still Botox.
