Botox is typically used to erase forehead lines, frown lines (also known as 11 lines), crow’s feet, and bunny lines, as well as to treat a gummy smile by doing a lip flip. It can also be used for sweat reduction as well as pain relief (TMJ, and muscle spasms).

Anti-aging treatment with Botox is appropriate for those who notice that lines from facial expressions remain even when their face is at rest, and are very deep when the face is animated. It’s ideal to treat these lines early — before they become even deeper. Once lines are more deeply etched in, it may not be possible to completely remove them with Botox. Botox can also be used to prevent new lines from developing.

Baby Botox is a preventative treatment that uses smaller doses of Botox to target potential problem areas before wrinkles become permanent. Ideal for younger patients, it aims to maintain natural facial expressions while delaying the onset of aging signs. Unsure if you’re a good candidate? Contact us to set up a consultation.
