Guide to 7 Facial Wrinkles Smoothed by Botox

Glabellar Lines

The glabella is a patch of skin between the eyebrows and above the nose. Treatment of glabellar lines is the most common cosmetic use of botulinum toxin.

Crow's-Feet

Crow's-feet (also called periorbital lines or lateral canthal lines) are wrinkles that branch from the outer corners of the eyes while smiling. Of note, crow's-feet that are static thus occur in both the presence and absence of smiling.

Crow's-feet are the second most frequent types of wrinkles treated with Botox Cosmetic, which works beautifully with the dynamic wrinkles in this area.

Forehead Wrinkles

The relatively large facial muscle that overlies the forehead is called the frontalis muscle. When the frontalis muscle contracts, the brow raises and forehead lines appear.

Bunny Lines

Bunny lines occur on the bridge of the nose. They can become more prominent after botulinum toxin treatment for glabellar lines or crow's feet. Thus, people who have Botox treatment for glabellar lines or crow's feet often return for treatment of bunny lines, too.

Lipstick Lines

Perioral or lipstick lines are vertical wrinkles above the upper lip. The formation of lipstick lines is likely multifactorial and photoaging, hereditary factors, puckering, and smoking all contribute.

Marionette Lines

Marionette lines are vertical wrinkles that originate at the corners of the mouth and branch downwards towards the chin. (These lines resemble the borders of the jaw segment of a marionette.) Marionette lines are usually treated with dermal fillers or a facelift.

Chin Dimpling

Chin dimpling gives the chin an orange-peel (peau d'orange) appearance. As with the treatment of marionette lines, smoothing chin dimples often requires both botulinum toxin and dermal fillers.
