Botox Hot Spots

By Anka Sanori


Botox injections are widely used for a variety of cosmetic reasons. 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. Its popularity is primarily due to the speed of the procedure, the simplicity of the whole process, the quality results and how affordable it generally is.

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. There are three main sites that are most commonly injected:

- 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. 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. Most troublesome for patients, amongst all facial creases, seem to be the forehead lines. This simple, quick and effective treatment does not even require anaesthesia. Effects can last up to 6 months and repeat injections are usually required to preserve the crease-free look.

Crow's feet lines around the eyes

Fine lines that form at the corners of the eyes due to constant muscle use 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. After frown lines, it appears that crow's feet treatment is often sought after as they are very common. 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 results of this 10-15 minute procedure are excellent.

Botox is most often injected on the face into these top 3 sites. More rare are other sites such as chin lifts and botox injections around the mouth that may be performed.

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.
