For 40-year-olds, Neurotoxin is commonly injected into specific areas of the face to address early signs of aging and dynamic wrinkles (those caused by muscle movement). The most common injection sites include:
Location: Horizontal lines across the forehead that appear when raising the eyebrows.
Purpose: Smooths the forehead and reduces the appearance of lines.
Typical Units: 10–20 units, depending on the depth of the lines.
Location: Vertical lines between the eyebrows, often caused by frowning or squinting.
Purpose: Softens the "11" lines and creates a more relaxed appearance.
Typical Units: 20–30 units.
Location: Fine lines at the outer corners of the eyes, caused by smiling or squinting.
Purpose: Reduces the appearance of wrinkles around the eyes.
Typical Units: 5–15 units per side (10–30 units total).
Location: Small wrinkles on the sides of the nose that appear when scrunching the nose.
Purpose: Softens these lines for a more polished look.
Typical Units: 5–10 units.
Location: Vertical lines above the upper lip, often caused by puckering or smoking.
Purpose: Smooths fine lines around the mouth.
Typical Units: 2–6 units.
Location: The corners of the mouth that may turn downward with age.
Purpose: Lifts the corners of the mouth for a more youthful, approachable expression.

Typical Units: 25–50 units, depending on the severity.
Location: Specific points around the eyebrows to create a subtle lift.
Purpose: Lifts the outer eyebrows for a more open, youthful eye area.
Typical Units: 2–5 units per side.
Location: Dimples or uneven texture on the chin caused by muscle movement.
Purpose: Smooths the chin for a more even appearance.
Typical Units: 2–6 units.
Location: The jaw muscles, often enlarged due to teeth grinding (bruxism) or genetics.
Purpose: Slims the jawline and reduces the appearance of a square jaw.
Typical Units: 20–30 units per side.
Customization: The number of units and injection sites vary depending on individual anatomy, muscle strength, and desired results.
Natural Look: A skilled injector will aim for balanced, natural-looking results that preserve facial expressions.
Combination Treatments: Neurotoxin is often combined with dermal fillers, laser treatments, or skincare for a more comprehensive anti-aging approach.
Always consult with a board-certified dermatologist or licensed injector to determine the best treatment plan for your needs.
