IMPROVE FACE BALANCE
AND SYMMETRY

BOTOX can be used to achieve facial balance and symmetry by targeting specific muscles in the face.

Muscle Relaxation

BOTOX is injected into targeted facial muscles responsible for causing wrinkles, lines, or asymmetry. It works by temporarily paralyzing or relaxing these muscles. By doing so, it reduces their ability to contract forcefully, which is a common cause of facial asymmetry.

Addressing Hyperactivity

Some individuals may have overactive facial muscles on one side of their face, leading to asymmetry or imbalances in their expressions. BOTOX can be used to selectively weaken these overactive muscles, helping to create a more balanced appearance.

Smoothing Wrinkles

BOTOX is commonly used to smooth out wrinkles and fine lines, such as crow’s feet around the eyes or frown lines between the eyebrows. By relaxing the muscles responsible for these lines, it can restore symmetry to the face and create a more youthful, even appearance.

Brow Lift

BOTOX can be strategically injected to lift and shape the eyebrows, making them more symmetrical and balanced. This can help improve the overall symmetry of the upper face.

Jaw Contouring

In some cases, BOTOX can be used to address issues related to jawline asymmetry caused by overactive jaw muscles. It can help create a more balanced and harmonious lower face appearance.

Lip Symmetry

BOTOX injections can be used to adjust the balance and symmetry of the lips. By targeting specific muscles around the mouth, it can help create a more even and aesthetically pleasing lip shape.

It’s important to note that achieving facial balance and symmetry with BOTOX requires careful assessment and a customized treatment plan tailored to the individual’s unique facial features and concerns.  Our experienced team at Beauty Within can help you achieve effective results. 

BOTOX FAQs:

Botox can be used to treat various areas including forehead lines, glabella or “11” lines (located between the eyebrows), bunny lines (across the bridge of the nose), crow’s feet (chin), brow lift, gummy smile (smile with excessive exposure of the upper teeth and gums), lip lines, downturning of mouth, facial slimming (masseter/chewing muscles), and platysma bands (aging neck muscle bands).

You’ll begin seeing the smoothing effects on frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines within 24-48 hours.
