Neurotoxin injections are commonly used for cosmetic purposes to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. For a 30-year-old, the focus is often on prevention and subtle enhancements rather than addressing deep wrinkles. Common injection sites on the face include:
Purpose: To smooth horizontal lines that appear when raising the eyebrows.
Injection Sites: Small doses are injected along the forehead, typically in 4-6 points.
Purpose: To reduce vertical lines between the eyebrows that form when frowning.
Injection Sites: Usually 3-5 injections between the eyebrows and slightly above.
Purpose: To soften the lines that radiate from the corners of the eyes when smiling or squinting.
Injection Sites: 2-3 injections on each side, near the outer corners of the eyes.
Purpose: To create a subtle lift of the eyebrows, giving a more open and refreshed appearance.
Injection Sites: Small doses are injected near the tail of the eyebrow or along the brow bone.
Purpose: To reduce wrinkles on the sides of the nose that appear when scrunching the nose.
Injection Sites: 1-2 injections on each side of the nose.
Purpose: To soften vertical lines around the lips that can appear with aging or repetitive movements.
Injection Sites: Small doses are injected above the upper lip, avoiding over-treatment to maintain natural movement.
Purpose: To smooth a dimpled or uneven chin caused by muscle activity.
Injection Sites: 1-2 injections in the center of the chin.
Purpose: To reduce the appearance of vertical neck bands that can become more prominent with age.
Injection Sites: Multiple injections along the bands, depending on their length and prominence.
Purpose: To slim the jawline by reducing the size of the masseter muscle, often used for both cosmetic and functional purposes (e.g., teeth grinding).
Injection Sites: 2-3 injections on each side of the jaw.
Purpose: To reduce the appearance of excessive gum exposure when smiling.
Injection Sites: Small doses are injected into the upper lip area to relax the muscles that elevate the lip.
Dosage: The amount of toxin used will vary depending on the individual’s muscle strength, facial anatomy, and desired results.
Provider: Always consult a licensed and experienced medical professional (e.g., dermatologist or plastic surgeon) for toxin injections.
Maintenance: Results typically last 3-4 months, after which follow-up treatments may be needed.
Prevention: Starting Neurotoxins in your 30s can help prevent deeper wrinkles from forming later.
