While you may not be able to turn back the hours on the clock, you do have options. BOTOX®, or botulinum toxin, injected properly by trained professionals can help you treat the signs of aging. Our doctors can recommend the best places for your BOTOX® injections to make the biggest impact.
Because let’s face it, we’re all getting older. And as we age, we begin producing less collagen and elastin, the building blocks of that once youthful wrinkle-free glow. Plus, years of unavoidable repetitive facial expressions like squinting and smiling, and, well, the passage of time has left its mark on your face in the form of pesky fine lines and wrinkles.
Done strategically, small doses of BOTOX® temporarily block the nerve impulses to key facial muscles causing them to contract less. This helps the muscles soften and relax: smoothing wrinkles, promoting a more youthful look, and improving your overall appearance. Just ask one of the five million people getting BOTOX® treatments every year.We’ll discuss some of the best places for facial BOTOX® injections more in-depth in a moment, but first, you need to know that it’s not only the where but the who that matters. Because when it comes to getting BOTOX®, you certainly want the dermatologist or licensed skin care professional performing your injections to be an expert on facial muscles and how to get them to do what you want.
Pinnacle Dermatology is known as the best place to get BOTOX®— with a wide network of highly trained and qualified practitioners experienced in reducing wrinkles with the treatment.
We are serious about skincare
Frown Lines
When this happens, your skin appears smoother, reducing or even temporarily eliminating the fine lines and wrinkles in the area. Furthermore, regular treatments can help reduce the development of deeper frown lines over time, so be sure to discuss a maintenance schedule with your provider.
Bunny Lines
BOTOX® is a popular treatment option for these lines because it works quickly, with results seen within days. It doesn’t take much to get results in this facial area, but the amount of BOTOX® you’ll need and how long it will last varies from person to person, but your Pinnacle provider will discuss the best BOTOX® treatment option for you.
Forehead Wrinkles
Our experts know what facial muscles to target to get the best results for your face. That’s why our providers create an individualized plan before they inject BOTOX®. As a result, you’ll see those annoying wrinkles on your forehead start to minimize in just a few days, all with minimal downtime or risk.
The Perfect BOTOX® for You:
Crows Feet:
Crow’s feet, the wrinkles that form around the outer corner of your eyes as you age, are one of the most common areas Pinnacle’s cosmetic patients seek to treat.
The orbicular oculi muscle is what moves when you smile or squint. Treating this muscle helps produce a natural result. Many patients seek this procedure as a preventative treatment just as they begin seeing signs of aging.
Eyebrows:
Can BOTOX® lift your eyebrows and upper eyelids without surgery? This simple procedure makes your eyes look less tired and gives you an instant mini-browlift.
Considering BOTOX® treatment requires little to no downtime or lingering pain, it’s no wonder patients with mild to moderate sagging above their eyes choose this option. A non-surgical eyebrow lift is one of the most popular treatment areas and one of the best places for Botox injections.
However, if you have eyelid skin that hangs over your eyes and inhibits your vision (ptosis), Botox may not be the best treatment option. Talk to your dermatologist about whether BOTOX® is a viable option to achieve the results you want.
Lip Lines or Upper Lip:
The vertical lines above and below your lips, sometimes called lipstick or smoker’s lines, can be a frustrating and telltale sign of skin aging. However, you can gently soothe these wrinkles by having small amounts of Botox injected into the orbicularis oris, the muscles used when you pucker.
With regular targeted treatment, not only will your lines recover, but you also help prevent new lines from forming. Dermal fillers can also treat lip lines and are sometimes recommended in conjunction with Botox. However, BOTOX® treatment alone is sometimes a viable choice.
Another good place for BOTOX® is between the upper lip and nose. This helps reduce what is known as a “gummy smile” by slightly limiting movement in your upper lip. Since confident smiles can be such a huge boost, ask your provider to help you get your best grin.
Marionette Lines:
Marionette lines are the wrinkles that run from the corners of your mouth to your chin. They can also start near the nasolabial folds, the area near the lower corners of your nose, extending to your mouth.
As we age, these lines become more apparent, grow deeper, and can make it look like you’re always upset or wearing a permanent frown. The muscles these injections target are called the depressor anguli oris. To ensure the best possible results, your doctor may recommend a combination of BOTOX® and an injectable filler.
