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.
