Although we don\u2019t mind the wisdom and experience that comes\nwith age, wrinkles are a part of getting older that most of us don\u2019t look\nforward to. Thankfully, cosmetic treatments are available to minimize these\npesky lines and creases if they bother us\u2014but since not all wrinkles are the\nsame, dermatologists need to use different techniques depending on which lines\nare being addressed and where they\u2019re located. Those tiny crinkles at the\ncorners or your eyes and between your eyebrows? All are linked to the facial\nexpressions we make each day while communicating with others. BOTOX\u00ae<\/sup>\nis what our Naples<\/a>-based injectors use to counteract these specific\nsigns of aging, which are known as expression lines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It isn\u2019t possible to keep your face completely still all the\ntime, which is unfortunate, because the constant, repetitive movements cause your\nskin to stretch and form wrinkles. These lines become more apparent when your\nskin loses significant amounts of collagen and elastin as you age. Overactive\nfacial muscles can also sometimes cause asymmetry on certain areas of the face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BOTOX\u00ae<\/sup> is FDA-approved for three types of\nexpression lines: crow\u2019s feet, forehead lines, and frown lines. Additionally,\nit\u2019s used off-label to treat other skin irregularities. The following are some\nof the most popular signs of aging BOTOX\u00ae<\/sup> addresses: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crow\u2019s Feet<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We use the muscles around the eyes constantly, and the skin\nis very thin there. Crow\u2019s feet are the small, diagonal lines that branch out\naround the outer corners of the eyes, resembling the toes on a bird\u2019s foot. These\nfine lines are associated with smiling and laughing\u2014and also age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Frown\nLines<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Also referred to as \u201cglabellar lines\u201d or \u201celevens,\u201d vertical\nfrown lines form between the eyebrows due to frowning and squinting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forehead\nLines<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The muscle contractions when we raise our eyebrows sometimes\nresult in horizontal forehead lines. Over time, these folds can create grooves\nthat are visible even when the forehead is at rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gummy\nSmile<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When the muscles above the upper lip are overactive, they\nmight pull the lip up too much when you smile, exposing a significant amount of\ngum. BOTOX\u00ae<\/sup> relaxes these muscles, creating a less-revealing smile. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dimpled\nChin<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

BOTOX\u00ae<\/sup> relaxes and smooths creases on the chin caused\nby an overactive mentalis muscle on the face. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
