Developing fine lines and facial wrinkles is a natural part of getting older. That being said, many people prefer to hold onto their youth for as long as possible. Fortunately, there are various cosmetic solutions out there to reduce signs of aging. BOTOX has become one of the most popular because it is non-invasive and offers subtle results. Here are some of the different types of wrinkles that BOTOX can address.
Glabellar Lines
The glabellar is a patch of skin between the eyebrows above the nose. It is a common spot for age lines and wrinkles to show up. One of the most popular uses of BOTOX is reducing the appearance of the lines that appear there with age.
Crow’s Feet
Crow’s feet – also known as periorbital lines are wrinkles that branch out from the outer corners of the eyes when you smile. However, as one gets older, the lines remain present even when not smiling. Crow’s feet are the second most common type of wrinkles treated with BOTOX.
Forehead Wrinkles
The large facial muscle that overlies the forehead is called the frontalis muscle. As you contract this muscle, your eyebrows rise, and forehead lines appear horizontally. BOTOX can be used to lessen the appearance of these lines.
Bunny Lines
Bunny lines are the lines that appear on the bridge of the nose. Some people find that they become more prominent after they get BOTOX for glabellar lines or crow’s feet. Because of this, many people return to treat bunny lines with BOTOX too.
Lipstick Lines
Lipstick lines are sometimes called perioral lines. These lines form from a variety of different reasons, including photoaging, hereditary factors, puckering, and smoking.
Marionette Lines
These types of wrinkles are vertical and originate at the corners of the mouth. They branch downward toward the chin. BOTOX can be used to reduce the appearance of marionette lines. Other treatment options include dermal fillings and facelifts.
Chin Dimples
Chin dimpling makes the chin appear with an orange-peel-like texture. Just like with marionette lines, BOTOX can be used to reduce chin dimpling, giving the face a smoother appearance. Dermal fillers are also often used for this purpose.
BOTOX has a variety of helpful uses, including cosmetic solutions. If you are unhappy with your appearance due to signs of aging, let your dentist know. BOTOX may be the ideal option for you.
