What Are the Different Facial Areas That BOTOX® Can Treat?
4/6/2024
Many people turn to BOTOX for wrinkles like laugh lines and Crow's feet. But if you're new to the world of neuromodulators, you may not know where this popular treatment can be used. The good news is that BOTOX allows professionals like Dr. Dimara Vega to target unwanted signs of aging in the forehead, around the eyes, and near the mouth.

How is BOTOX different from other injectables?
BOTOX is a neuromodulator made from a purified form of botulinum toxin — a protein that temporarily relaxes the facial muscles. Other injectables, such as dermal fillers, use substances like hyaluronic acid (HA) to add volume and plumpness to certain areas of the face. While dermal fillers are great for adding fullness, BOTOX is designed to target dynamic wrinkles caused by facial expressions.
What areas can you treat with BOTOX?
During a consultation in Brandon, FL, Dr. Vega will assess your unique features and determine the best areas to target with cosmetic injectables. Some include:
- Forehead: BOTOX can smooth out wrinkles that appear when raising your eyebrows or frowning. These are called "horizontal lines" or "glabellar lines."
- Eyes: Many people struggle with Crow's feet — fine wrinkles that form around the eyes when you smile or squint. BOTOX injections relax the muscles responsible for these expressions, resulting in a rested appearance.
- Mouth: Laugh lines are another concern that can be reduced with BOTOX. These lines appear around the mouth when you smile or pucker your lips, and they can become more pronounced over time.
If you have concerns about other areas of your face, Dr. Vega can discuss whether BOTOX is a suitable option for those as well. Our goal is to help you achieve natural results that enhance your unique features and help you feel confident in your skin.
Can I get BOTOX in more than one area?
If you have multiple areas of concern, Dr. Vega may recommend targeting more than one area with BOTOX injections. Combining treatments can help achieve comprehensive and natural-looking outcomes. Additionally, neuromodulators can be combined with other procedures, such as dermal fillers, to further enhance your rejuvenated appearance. Our personalized plans are tailored to your aesthetic goals.
How long do BOTOX results last for each area?
The longevity of BOTOX results varies depending on the individual and where they were injected. Typically, results last 3 – 4 months before additional sessions are needed. However, with repeated treatments, some patients may experience even longer-lasting results. Dr. Vega will discuss this with you during your assessment and provide recommendations for follow-up appointments.
