Which Facial Areas Does Botox Target?

Botox  is a skin-smoothing solution to temporarily correct expression lines and wrinkles in multiple facial areas. It is the most frequently performed cosmetic procedure worldwide, with millions of injections administered over the past two decades.

Botox works by temporarily blocking the nerve signals that allow specific facial muscles to contract. While it’s in effect – typically for three to six months – it will prevent you from making habitual facial expressions like squinting and frowning, which etch dynamic wrinkles into areas like your forehead and around your eyes. In addition, Botox is an excellent preventive treatment for younger patients with smoother skin textures.

Botox Treatment Areas

Botox beautifully addresses many of the most common complaints women and men experience during the aging process. The non-surgical approach helps patients rejuvenate their facial appearance without the hassle of anesthesia, incisions, sutures, and downtime. Here are examples of some concerns Harvard-trained plastic surgeon Dr. Jason Cooper addresses with Botox.

Frown Lines

If you tend to frown when concentrating on a challenging task, you may eventually develop deeply etched “11 lines” between your eyebrows. Dr. Cooper can inject Botox into the glabellar area to resolve your permanent scowl, ensuring a relaxed, easygoing appearance.

Forehead Wrinkles

Over time, raising your eyebrows in surprise can leave you with a permanently furrowed brow. Botox effectively softens these fine lines on the forehead, creating smooth, youthful skin and an alert, energized appearance.

Crow’s Feet

These expression lines fan out from the outside edge of the eyes and, over time, become permanent. Botox injections can soften the crow’s feet that make you look older when you smile or squint.

Vertical Lip Lines

A Botox “lip flip” is an effective way to reduce how much you purse your lips, limiting how many vertical lines form above your lips.
