BOTOX treatments are used to soften dynamic wrinkles—the lines created by repeated contractions of facial muscles. Common treatment areas include:
BOTOX is a purified protein that temporarily stops muscle contractions. When a small amount is injected into targeted facial muscles, the overlying skin is no longer creased in the same way, allowing lines and wrinkles to gradually soften.
The source content also notes Thermi® treatments as another option to discuss for frown lines between the eyes.
Injecting the masseter muscles can relax the muscles responsible for chewing, which may slim the appearance of the jawline. The source content also describes this approach as useful for symptoms associated with teeth grinding and jaw clenching.
A nonsurgical “liquid facelift” combines BOTOX with dermal fillers. BOTOX addresses dynamic wrinkles while fillers restore volume to areas such as the cheeks, under-eyes, and around the mouth.
Strategic injections can relax muscles that pull the brows downward, creating a subtle lift while softening frown lines. Patients seeking a more dramatic, long-lasting lift may be better candidates for brow lift surgery.
Nonsurgical facial treatments at Plastic Surgery Center of the South are performed under the careful direction of Dr. Corey Harkins, an experienced board-certified plastic surgeon.
That medical oversight supports individualized treatment planning—whether your goal is subtle wrinkle reduction, a brow-lifting effect, maintenance after facial surgery, or a broader injectable treatment plan.
