Hello Interloper!

The upper third of the face is where the best treatment results are obtained, commonly for reduction in the appearance of crow's feet around the eyes, and frown lines and wrinkles on the forehead and between the eyebrows.
Experienced practitioners can use botulinum toxin to reduce the appearance of fine lines underneath the eyes as long as the skin is not too loose in this area before the treatment. This procedure often leaves the patient with a slightly wider open - eyed look.
Botulinum toxin can also be used to reposition or lift the eyebrows by a few millimetres. This is sometimes called a “chemical brow lift”. It can lessen so-called “bunny lines” (lines along the top of the nose caused when some people smile.) More seriously, it can help people who have suffered facial trauma or Bell's palsy. In these cases, the face can take on a “lop-sided” look, and botulinum toxin can help to correct this distressing condition.
Experienced injectors may also treat fine vertical lines in the lip area and around the corners of the mouth. Usually in these cases, an injection of botulinum toxin would be accompanied by a dermal filler. This literally fills up some of the deeper wrinkles like a cosmetic polyfilla!
A dimply chin caused by the underlying muscle that occurs in some people can also be softened as can “necklace lines” or horizontal lines around the neck.
“Platysmal bands” – bands of muscle that stand out from the neck and make the neck look stringy in appearance can also be softened with botulinum toxin.
