Lower face Botox injections are becoming an increasingly popular option for skincare, especially for individuals looking to address concerns in the lower portion of their face. Botox can be used in various ways to enhance the appearance of the lower face by reducing wrinkles, lifting sagging areas, and improving skin texture. Our team of skilled professionals at Forever Young Medical spa will develop a treatment plan specific to your needs.
Here’s how Botox can be utilized for skin care in the lower face:
Common Lower Face Areas Treated with Botox
- Jawline (Masseter Muscle) Botox:
- What it does: Botox can be injected into the masseter muscles (the muscles used for chewing) to relax and slim the jawline, often creating a more contoured, feminine, or angular appearance.
- Skin Care Benefit: This can also help reduce the appearance of “square” jawlines, excessive muscle bulk, and even alleviate issues like teeth grinding (bruxism).
- Chin (Mentalis) Botox:
- What it does: Botox injections can soften the chin area by relaxing the mentalis muscle, which can sometimes cause the chin to appear dimpled or wrinkled when contracted. This illustrates another beneficial use of lower face Botox.
- Skin Care Benefit: By relaxing these muscles, Botox helps smooth out the skin on the chin, reducing the appearance of “orange peel” texture or the appearance of a “dimpled” chin.
- Nasolabial Folds (Smile Lines):
- What it does: Botox can be used in combination with dermal fillers to treat the nasolabial folds, the lines that run from the sides of your nose to the corners of your mouth.
- Skin Care Benefit: While Botox doesn’t directly fill the lines, it helps by softening the movement of the muscles that contribute to the formation of these lines, potentially resulting in a smoother, more youthful appearance in the lower face.
- Marionette Lines (Corner of Mouth):
- What it does: Injecting Botox into the muscles around the corners of the mouth can help lift and reduce the downward pull of the marionette lines (lines that form from the corners of the mouth downward).
- Skin Care Benefit: This can help give the face a more youthful and rested appearance by reducing the “sad” or tired look that can develop as we age.
- Platysma Bands:
- What it does: The platysma muscle runs down the neck and can sometimes create vertical bands that become more prominent with age or with certain facial expressions. Botox can relax these bands, which is another aspect of lower face Botox treatment.
- Skin Care Benefit: This treatment can improve the appearance of the neck and lower face by smoothing the skin, creating a more youthful and defined neckline.
