We all know Botox fights wrinkles. But what are the most popular areas to get Botox? Turns out, there are six areas that are the most popular for Botox injections. And that’s where I, Danielle Smith, Aesthetic Nurse Practitioner and Miami botox and filler specialist at smith & co., step in. I’m here to make sure all of those areas are wrinkle- and movement-free, so you can put your best face forward. 

Up first, it’s the forehead. When you inject Botox into your forehead it helps reduce the appearance of horizontal brow lines, which are usually caused by the repetitive movement of raising your eyebrows. It’s also great for treating your frown lines.

Working your way down the face, the next spot for injection is the brows. Think of Botox as giving you a mini brow lift, keeping you from looking worn down. This lift automatically gives you a youthful appearance. 

Bunny lines are another highly popular area for Botox injections. Bunny lines are the little lines around your nose that happen as an effect of scrunching up your nose like a bunny. Adding a little Botox will easily make them fade away. 

And then there’s the lines around the eyes, often referred to as crows feet. If you squint very hard, you’ll see these are the lines on the outsides of your eyes. And if you inject them with Botox, they will magically disappear, letting you smile as big as you like without revealing your age. 

Working our way down, the next spot for Botox is the perimeter of the lips. If you smoke, drink from a straw or pucker frequently, you may notice fine lines forming around your mouth. Botox can help reduce the appearance of those marionette lines. 

And lastly, there’s the jawline. Injecting Botox in the masseter muscles will, over time, create slimmer, more defined jawline. And who doesn’t want that?

Now that you know the best places to put Botox, let’s talk about how to make Botox kick in faster and last longer. It can take up to two weeks for Botox injections to set, freezing the muscles and reducing movement. And waiting two whole weeks for that to happen can feel like watching the water in a pot, waiting for it to boil. If you want to speed along the process, there are facial exercises you can do to help kick things into high gear.Science Daily recently did an article on the topic and suggests raising and lowering brows, as well as scowling. You can also try zinc supplements to help Botox kick in and last longer. And, one of my favorite ways to make Botox last is by combining Botox injections with a VIPeel for a tighter freeze and longer, better hold. You can book a VIPeel with collagenproject, which is just down the hall from me.
