Botox® in San Diego is one of the most revolutionary anti-aging solutions for individuals battling lines and wrinkles, helping them achieve a rejuvenated appearance, as well as restore their self-confidence without incisions or downtime.
While Botox can be injected in multiple areas of the face to target aging, lines often become evident early on the forehead, between the eyebrows, and around the eyes. These are the most common Botox treatment areas.
Botox for Forehead Lines
Botox can improve wrinkles, specifically, dynamic wrinkles caused by frequent muscle movements when you squint, laugh and smile.
These dynamic wrinkles are seen during muscle contraction, and they yield more dramatic results from Botox compared to static wrinkles, which are visible even when the face is at rest.
Forehead lines top the list of the three most common Botox treatment areas. Forehead muscles are constantly used –whether you are moving your eyebrows or squinting your eyes – you are causing your forehead skin to fold and wrinkle.
The repeated motion of these muscles will lead to the formation of lines and wrinkles much earlier than you might want.

Botox for Frown Lines
Frown lines are another example of dynamic wrinkles. Sometimes called worry lines, glabellar lines, forehead furrows, or “the 11s,” these vertical lines form on your forehead between the eyebrows when you frown.
Frown lines often make you look angry or tired, and are the result of forehead muscles squeezing inward as you furrow your brows.
Botox injections effectively reduce the depth of these lines for a refreshed appearance. In one quick treatment, you can say goodbye to your 11s for up to 3-4 months at a time.
For deeper lines, we can also use a hyaluronic acid filler to minimize the 11’s even more.
Botox for Crow’s Feet
Crow’s feet refers to the fine lines that form at the corners of the eyes and branch out toward the temple area.
Also called laugh lines or smile lines, crow’s feet form as a result of constant muscle use, particularly when you laugh, squint or smile.
Neuromodulators like Botox block nerve impulses from entering the muscle to reduce its activity. As the muscle relaxes, crow’s feet, similar to other dynamic wrinkles like frown lines and forehead lines, will begin to smooth out, giving you a more youthful look.

Other Injection Sites for Botox
Because Botox primarily improves wrinkles caused by frequent expressions, the most common Botox injection sites are forehead wrinkles, frown lines, and crow’s feet. However, Botox can also treat multiple areas and concerns.
Our injectable experts also have expertise in performing advanced Botox injections on the lower half of the face and neck where dynamic lines can also appear.
Botox results typically last for 3-6 months. To maintain and optimize your results, our board-certified dermatologists can design a treatment plan that includes a high-quality, personalized skincare routine, combination with hyaluronic acid fillers and/or biostimulating agents like Sculptra and/or a variety of ablative and non-ablative fractionated lasers if appropriate.
For instance, Botox can be combined with injectables like dermal fillers to help you achieve a non-surgical facelift. Combining the two injectables is beneficial because it can target different types of wrinkles and issues at once.
