Where Can I Get Botox® On My Face?
We all strive to be the best and most beautiful versions of ourselves, both inside and out. Aging gracefully is the goal for most people and the sight of wrinkles starting to appear as we age can be an area of concern or insecurity when it comes to our appearance. Neurotoxin treatments like Botox® can make the aging gracefully process easier! Within a short amount of time, your wrinkles and the appearance of fine lines can disappear!
What is Botox® and How Does It Work?
Botox® is the #1 cosmetic treatment in the history of the world, over 5 million people receive botox injections every year, according to the American Society for Plastic Surgery. Over the years as we age, the muscles in our face contract in various ways such as frowning, squinting, or raising eyebrows can all cause the skin to furrow and fold, which gradually forms lines in the face. Botox® can turn back the clock!
What Areas Respond Best To Botox®?
Here at iThriveBeauty in La Jolla, we treat over 8 problem areas with botox.
Areas of injections:
Forehead Wrinkles:
Our forehead muscles are constantly being used, horizontal forehead lines and in between the brow lines are mostly due to genetic aging but can also be due to sun damage as well. This area is also one of the hardest to hide which is why it is the most popular place people start with Botox®.
Crow's Feet:
This area is a common place for wrinkles because of the frequent amount of times we squint on a daily basis. Whether squinting because the sun is bright or because you're smiling for a photo, this area is prone to wrinkles and botox will help smooth the look of those fine lines near the eye area.
Bunny lines:
“Bunny lines” also known as the creases that are visible when the nose is wrinkled up for example, when we sniff or smell something.
Marionette Lines and Corners of the Mouth:
This area of the face is prone to wrinkle from the movement we create with our mouth, between smiling, eating, ect. This can also cause a problem of a “drooping mouth” botox helps combat that issue as well.
Smoker's Lines:
These lines are also known as the “perioral line”. You do not have to be a smoker to get these lines, they commonly appear when you purse your lips and Botox® can soften those lines.
Sagging Brows:
When botox is injected it relaxes the muscle, therefore can be a great way to help lift the brow with special technique. By doing this, botox can relax the muscle that tends to pull down the brow, resulting in a brow lift without surgery.
At iThrive Beauty, our experienced Nurses administer the injections. All of our Neurotoxin treatments for wrinkles are quick, simple, and require no anesthesia. Its effects can last up to 6 months. Botox is great for achieving that youthful look that you might be going for, or using it as a prevention tool.
