Botox Before and After – What Kind of Results Can Be Achieved?

Botox treatment relaxes the facial muscles that cause expression lines. As the muscles contract less, the lines visible on the skin's surface are smoothed out.

The most common treatment areas are horizontal forehead lines and the glabellar lines between the eyebrows. The goal of Botox treatment is a natural-looking result that preserves facial expression while smoothing out lines.

Botox on the forehead: before and after

Horizontal lines on the forehead are caused by repeated contraction of the forehead muscle. Botox treatment reduces muscle activity, which reduces skin wrinkling and causes the lines to soften or disappear completely.

Sibelius wrinkle: Botox before and after

The vertical crease between the eyebrows, known as the “Sibelius wrinkle, ” is primarily caused by the activity of the corrugator supercilii and procerus muscles. When these muscles relax as a result of botulinum toxin treatment, the crease between the eyebrows may smooth out, giving the face a more relaxed appearance.

Botox treatment for the lips: before and after

A lip flip is a botulinum toxin treatment in which a small amount of botulinum toxin is injected into the muscles around the upper lip. As muscle activity decreases, the edge of the lip may turn slightly outward, making the upper lip more visible. The treatment does not increase lip volume, as fillers do, but rather changes the position of the lip by regulating muscle activity.

Masseter Botox: Before and After

Bruxism refers to teeth grinding or clenching, which puts strain on the jaw joints and chewing muscles. Botulinum toxin treatment can be used to reduce the activity of the masseter muscle. As the muscle’s contractile force decreases, grinding and clenching may subside, and the muscle may shrink over time.

Botox for men: before and after

Botox treatments are also becoming increasingly common among men. The goal of the treatment is usually to preserve facial expressiveness while softening deep expression lines.
