What Is Botox?
Botox and dermal fillers can restore your youthful appearance by treating signs of aging.
Botox relaxes the muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles, which occur generally when your face is making an expression. Dermal fillers treat static wrinkles, which are apparent even when your face is relaxed and not making an expression.
Botox is classically used as a muscle relaxant in the areas between the eyes, the chin and downturn of the mouth. In addition to treating signs of aging on the face and neck, Botox also treats excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) in the armpits.

Where Can I Get Botox?
Botox can be placed in the upper forehead. In the lower forehead, botox can not placed as it can cause the eye to droop.
Botox can create a beautiful eye shape, and can be used along with dermal filler.
Botox in the temple can be placed to treat migraines.
Botox can treat crow’s feet, often in combination with dermal filler.
In the area under your eyes, botox can address a thickened muscle which becomes noticeable when one smiles, as well as wrinkles directly under the eyes.
Botox can soften “bunny lines” around the nose, which appear when one squints or frowns. In addition, botox can lift the nose.
Botox can address a gummy smile, downturning of the mouth, and lines above the lips.
In the chin, there can be an active muscle which can be treated with botox.
Botox can create a beautiful, oval jawline rather than a square one. In addition, botox can shrink very prominent muscles in the jawline, which can also cause one to grind or clench their teeth.
There are different types of bands on the neck. Vertical bands on the neck can be treated with botox. Sagging bands on the neck can be addressed with a combination of dermal filler, intradermal botox and laser, which can improve the integrity of the skin and a wrinkled skin texture.
