3 Most Popular Facial Areas for Botox

Botox® is the go-to treatment for minimizing dynamic wrinkles — those pesky creases caused by repeated use of facial muscles to express emotions. 

FDA-approved, Botox is a purified form of botulinum toxin type A. It reduces wrinkles, taking years off your face, by temporarily paralyzing the muscles responsible for the creases. 

Botox delivers impressive results, which is why it boasts a 96% satisfaction rate and is among the most popular cosmetic treatments year after year.

The medical esthetics team at Elite Women’s Care in Hoffman Estates, Illinois, can attest to Botox’s stunning results. Their patients choose Botox to eliminate many types of wrinkles. 

Facial areas Botox can treat

The most popular facial areas for Botox treatment are:

Forehead lines

These are the horizontal creases on your forehead when you raise your eyebrows in shock, surprise, or frustration.

Crow’s feet

These fine lines creep from the outer side of your eyes, caused by squinting, smiling, or laughing. 

Frown lines

Also called vertical 11s, these two lines between your eyebrows result from frowning or furrowing your brows. 

Other areas

Botox is highly versatile. Other areas it can treat include:

• Bunny lines: The deep creases that appear next to the bridge of your nose, extending to the lower eyelid.

• Smoker’s lines: Medically called perioral lines or lipstick lines, these fine creases around the lips are caused by smoking, using a straw, or constantly pursing your lips.
• Marionette lines: These are the facial lines that run vertically between the mouth and chin. They can also cause sagging in the lower half of your face.

When can you expect results? 

Patients sometimes notice improvement within 24-48 hours, but full results typically take 14-30 days.*

Injections are quick and relatively painless. However, our specialists at Elite Women’s Care can apply numbing cream if you’re especially sensitive. 

There's no downtime, although minimal bruising can sometimes occur.

Only trust an experienced professional to administer your Botox

Botox is the most widely researched cosmetic treatment of its kind. It’s incredibly safe in the hands of experienced professionals like those at Elite Women’s Care. 

But Botox is a technique-sensitive treatment. If too much Botox is injected, or it’s injected incorrectly, the results can be asymmetrical or otherwise problematic. Trust your treatment to a trained medical specialist, and you can expect beautiful and natural-looking results.
