Botox® for Wrinkles: Forehead Lines, 11s, Crow’s Feet & Neck Bands
Wrinkles are a natural part of aging, but changes in skin elasticity, collagen loss, and repeated facial expressions can cause lines to deepen over time—especially during the menopause transition. Botox® is a safe, FDA-approved injectable treatment used to soften expression-related wrinkles and restore a more refreshed appearance.
At our practice, Botox treatments are never cookie-cutter. Every patient begins with a personalized consultation to develop a treatment plan aligned with their facial anatomy, muscle activity, and individual aesthetic goals.
What Is Botox and How Does It Work?
Botox® (botulinum toxin type A) works by temporarily relaxing targeted facial muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles—lines created by repeated movement such as frowning, raising the eyebrows, or squinting.
By reducing muscle contraction, Botox allows the overlying skin to smooth, helping prevent wrinkles from becoming deeper and more permanent over time.
Key benefits of Botox include:
-
Non-surgical wrinkle reduction
-
Minimal downtime
-
Natural-looking results when properly administered
-
Both preventative and corrective treatment options
Results typically appear within 3–7 days, with full results visible at about 2 weeks, lasting approximately 3–4 months.
Botox for the “11s” (Glabellar Lines)
The vertical lines between the eyebrows—commonly called the “11s”—are caused by repeated frowning and squinting. These lines often make people appear angry, stressed, or tired even when they are not.
Botox for glabellar lines can:
-
Soften deep vertical wrinkles
-
Reduce habitual frowning
-
Create a calmer, more approachable appearance
This is one of the most common and effective areas for Botox treatment.
Botox for Forehead Wrinkles
Horizontal forehead lines develop from repeated eyebrow elevation and become more prominent as skin thins with age.
Forehead Botox treatment focuses on:
-
Smoothing horizontal lines
-
Preserving natural facial movement
-
Maintaining balance with the brows and eyelids
Proper dosing and technique are essential to avoid heaviness or an unnatural appearance.
Botox for Crow’s Feet (Wrinkles Beside the Eyes)
Crow’s feet form at the outer corners of the eyes from smiling, laughing, and squinting. Hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause can accelerate their appearance due to collagen loss.
Botox for crow’s feet may:
-
Soften fine lines while keeping expression natural
-
Improve skin texture around the eyes
-
Create a brighter, more rested look
Botox for Platysmal Bands (Neck Bands)
Platysmal bands are vertical neck lines that become more visible with age as the platysma muscle separates and weakens.
Botox in the neck can:
-
Relax prominent neck bands
-
Improve neck contour
-
Support a smoother jawline appearance
This advanced treatment requires detailed anatomical knowledge and conservative dosing.
