Botox Facial Injections

Botox Injection Site - Forehead, Frown Lines, Crows Feet & Bunny Lines.

The most common areas treated with Botox (or other injectables that reduce wrinkles) are forehead, frown lines, crows feet & bunny lines. Botox injected by a medical doctor will result with the most aesthetically pleasing results. Believe it or not, it is an art knowing where to injecting Botox. Cost of injecting the Botox varies and will try to explain that here.

Forehead – Does not include in-between the eye brows a very popular area where wrinkles and lines begin to form due to worry, stress, and natural aging and they show up most noticeably when expressing surprise or excitement. You can test to see if you have forehead lines by lifting your eyebrows. Depending on the number of wrinkles, lines and the strength of the muscles, your Botox will be injected. On average, you will need 15 to 20 units to get the best results. Men (because of larger muscles) do need more at times. Remember, over injecting this area can create a dropped forehead and eyebrows. Botox costs can vary but at NewSkin Laser Center we have specials all the time.

Glabellar Region – In between your eyebrows also known as “elevens” since wrinkles resembling the number eleven tend to develop between the eyes as we age. These wrinkles or folds tend to show most noticeably while frowning, worried, or concentrating. Some people have even three lines in this area. You will need on average 15-20 units of Botox to get great results. Overinjection of this area can create a "Jack Nicholson Look", the outer part of the eyebrow being lifted as you make expressions.

Crow’s Feet – Around the Eyes wrinkles that develop around the edges of the eyes resembling the foot of a bird or crow. Depending upon the severity of the wrinkles, these lines may not be noticeable while relaxed but show up most while laughing or smiling. If left untreated, these wrinkles will become more noticeable even while relaxed. On average, people will need 6-12 units of Botox in this area. Dysport tends to be better in this region as it gives you more relaxed and natural look. With Dysport, you will need about 20-30 ($60-$90) units per eye to achieve results.

Jawline Contouring -

Botox along the jawline can create a subtle, more youthful lower-face contour by relaxing selected muscles that pull downward on the jawline, particularly portions of the platysma and, when appropriate, the depressor muscles near the corners of the mouth. By reducing this downward tension, the treatment may soften the appearance of early, mild jowling, improve jawline definition, and give the lower face a smoother, gently lifted appearance. Botox does not remove loose skin, fat, or significant jowls, but it can be an effective nonsurgical option for patients whose lower-face heaviness is partly caused by muscle activity; treatment is often paired with other options when skin laxity or volume loss is more pronounced. Results are amazing and typically become fully visible within about two weeks.  Requires about 20-25 units for the Jawline lifting and it involves injecting along the jawline at 3-4 points on each side.   Costs about $250-$300.   It is a painless treatment option to be added to your routine regimen.
