Anti Wrinkle Injections

What Can Botox Be Used For?

Botox is widely recognised for its ability to soften and smooth dynamic wrinkles—those caused by facial expressions. Common treatment areas include the forehead, frown lines between the eyebrows, and crow’s feet around the eyes.

In recent years, Botox has evolved beyond wrinkle reduction. It is now used to subtly enhance facial aesthetics by improving symmetry, rebalancing the facial thirds, and refining the golden triangle proportions for a more harmonious appearance.

With results lasting 3 to 6 months and an excellent safety profile, Botox remains a trusted option for both cosmetic and functional enhancements.

Botox for Brow Lift
Botox is an effective treatment for addressing slight asymmetries in brow position for both men and women. It’s important to note that the ideal brow position differs significantly between genders, and Dr Mike Cummins is highly skilled in achieving natural results tailored to each individual. Botox can also be used to elevate the brows by carefully administering injections around the eyes and forehead, creating a subtle lift and a more youthful appearance.

Botox for the Nose and Mouth
Botox can be used to subtly reshape the nostrils and refine the nasal tip, as well as to smooth fine lines on the sides of the nose, commonly referred to as bunny lines.

Around the mouth, Botox has gained popularity for treatments like the lip flip, which enhances the upper lip’s appearance. While results typically last around six to eight weeks, the effect is very natural and can also shorten the distance between the nose and the upper lip, improving lower facial third proportions.

Additionally, Botox can be used to lift the corners of the mouth, correct a gummy smile, and improve chin texture by reducing the “orange peel” effect. It can also elongate the chin to balance and enhance the proportions of the lower third of the face.

Botox for Jaw Reshaping and Lifting

Botox can effectively slim the jawline by targeting the masseter muscles, the strong chewing muscles located on either side of the face. For individuals with significant bulk in this area, Botox helps to reduce the muscle size over time, creating a more tapered and contoured facial appearance.

In addition to jaw reshaping, Botox can be used to subtly lift the jowl area. By strategically injecting Botox along specific points of the jawline, it can provide a mild lifting effect, enhancing the overall definition and contour of the lower face.

Botox for the Neck

Botox can be used to address mild sagging in the neck caused by the platysma, a thin sheet-like muscle that can lose tension over time. By carefully injecting Botox into this area, it can help tighten and smooth the neck’s appearance. This treatment, often referred to as the “Nefertiti facelift,” provides a subtle yet effective lift, enhancing the jawline and neck contour for a more youthful look.

Why Use Botox?

Dr Mike Comins is a strong advocate for Botox due to its excellent safety profile, consistent effectiveness, and ability to deliver positive aesthetic outcomes. Over the past 30 to 40 years, extensive use has shown no long-term issues associated with the treatment.

One of the key advantages of Botox is its temporary nature—if patients are not entirely satisfied with the results, the effects naturally wear off over time, and the treated areas return to their original state.

Botox continues to be regarded as the gold standard in aesthetic medical treatments, trusted for its safety, reliability, and ability to achieve natural, refined results.
