Aging can cause wrinkles, sagging skin, and other issues that are evident when looking in the mirror. And sometimes this can add to feeling less confident in our looks as we might like. The good news is that Botox can help with many problem areas. Botox provides visual vitality and a more youthful appearance in many areas of the face. The five most important are listed below.
Eyes
One of the most popular places on the face for Botox is near the eyes. The eyes are “windows into the soul” and as such can be one of the brightest areas of the face. Unfortunately, squinting and smiling through the years can cause crow's feet to form at the eye’s outer edge. This can make a person appear older and cause the eyes to lose a bit of their youthful appearance. Other small lines can also be found near the eyes through aging. Botox can significantly diminish many or all of these wrinkles and make your eyes stand out again.
Brows
When you think about it, the brows express how we feel. Eyebrows might furrow while thinking or unhappy. Over time, this can cause wrinkles to form on the forehead and between the eyebrows. This can make someone look angry or upset even in situations where they might be incredibly happy. Botox treatments can give you back a youthful appearance and make you look more at ease. There’s no reason to deal with unsightly wrinkles at your brow when there’s an easy solution available.
Forehead
We all tend to raise our eyebrows to show surprise or interest. This motion over time creates horizontal lines to form in the forehead, This etched line appearance can make the forehead appear aged and not smooth. Botox treatment to the forehead can relieve that tension in the forehead and smooth out the forehead lines. Depending on how much Botox is used, you can still keep the the ability to move your eyebrows and express yourself.
Lips
Both frowning and smiling can eventually cause wrinkles to form on the edge of the lips. You may also experience wrinkles that are just below the lips. Botox treatments can be administered near the lips to get rid of these wrinkles. Using Botox can make the lips seem fuller and larger so that your smile is more noticeable by the people around you. It can help you feel more confident and that confidence can show to the people around you.
Jawline
Another way that Botox can be used on the face is to alter the shape of it. Botox is capable of reducing the size of the masseter muscles of the jaw, which can soften the line of the face. With Botox, your jawline can be made more rounded, offering a more oval shaped to your face.
All of these areas of the face can be addressed by using Botox. Speak with your surgeon about what treatment is best for your situation.
