Frown lines
Crease lines and wrinkles are part of a natural process due to a combination of aging, sun damage, gravity, and the muscle action of laughing, talking, frowning, and crying. Between the eyebrows, the vertical frown lines result form over-active muscles. These muscles are also used when concentrating. By drawing the eyebrows inward, one expresses anger, confusion or anxiety. Repeated often enough, permanent skin creases develop and, even when relaxed, these frown lines remain. Neutralization of these overactive brown muscles helps eliminate these negative appearances.

Horizontal forehead lines
Some individuals use different muscles for raising the brows; others ‘talk’ with their forehead. A more dilute toxin is used when treating the horizontal forehead lines.

Crow’s feet
Wrinkles radiating from the corner of the eyes caused by smiling, laughing or squinting are especially distressing to some individuals. Previously, no reasonable medical or surgical solution improved this problem due to the strong underlying muscles. Even with the deepest chemical peels or laser resurfacing techniques, rapid recurrence of these lines
around the eyes is inevitable. Botox has now proved to be effective in preventing the recurrence of wrinkles by inhibiting the underlying muscles.

Lower face and neck lines
Some people may be suitable for treatment of the neck with Botox. This area is most dynamic when talking, smiling and eating. As one ages, muscle activity leads to some lines, and fat is lost from this area. Botox may be used to improve some lower face and vertical lines or neck bands.
