It has been over 20 years since Botox® was first approved by the FDA for cosmetic use, the first neuromodulator to be approved for treatment of frown lines. Since then, Botox injections have been used for many other uses beyond the glabellar lines between the eyebrows. Botox works by relaxing targeted muscles for a few months, which can smooth dynamic lines, but it can also have other beautiful cosmetic benefits. Here are seven Botox treatments that could benefit your appearance.
1. Neck Rejuvenation
Botox is wonderful for relaxing muscles in the neck that cause pronounced neck cords and lines. This can help the neck look years younger with treatment every 3-4 months.
2. Reduce a Gummy Smile
Injecting muscles that impact the upper lip can relax and bring down the lip to cover more of the gum line to minimize a gummy smile.
3. Bye-Bye Bunny Lines
If you have wrinkles that form on your nose that look like rabbit whickers, Botox may be the answer. A few quick injections can smooth bunny lines – the effects of Botox can take a few days to be noticeable.
4. Masseter Muscle Reduction
If your jaw muscles are making your face look too wide and you want to slim your jaw for a more feminine appearance, try Botox treatments. Botox can relax and reduce the size of masseter muscles for a slimmer face.
5. Liquid Rhinoplasty
Botox can be used to change certain aspects of the nose shape without surgery. A nasal tip lift is a common use of Botox in a liquid rhinoplasty procedure.
6. Defined Jawline
Botox injections can help define the jawline and reduce the appearance of jowls for a more youthful lower face.
7. Lip Flip
Botox injections can be used to “flip” the upper lip outward, which can make it appear fuller and more youthful without using fillers.
Botox injections can be performed in about 15-20 minutes at the K Spa at Kalos Facial Plastic Surgery, LLC. Results from Botox usually wear off at around four months – repeated treatments can be used to maintain the desired look. Call our clinic in Atlanta, GA to schedule a Botox consultation.
