From Forehead to Jawline—Here’s Where Botox Works Best

By Get Tox’d

At Get Tox’d, we’re all about precision, customization, and natural results. Whether you’re looking to smooth out fine lines or sculpt your jawline, Botox isn’t just for “frown lines” anymore—it’s one of the most versatile tools in aesthetic medicine today.

But where exactly can Botox be used? Let’s break it down by facial and therapeutic zones—backed by recent clinical research.

Most Common Cosmetic Areas Treated with Botox

1. Forehead Lines (Frontalis Muscle)

Why it works: Botox softens horizontal lines caused by repeated forehead raising.

Study (Aesthetic Surgery Journal, 2022) found that consistent treatment of the frontalis muscle leads to smoother skin and even helped prevent future wrinkle formation with long-term use.

2. Frown Lines / “11s” (Glabellar Complex)

Why it works: This is one of the most popular areas, targeting the muscles between your brows that create deep vertical lines.

A 2021 review in Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology showed that Botox in this area produced visible results within 3–5 days and reached full effect by 14 days.

3. Crow’s Feet (Orbicularis Oculi)

Why it works: Botox relaxes the tiny muscles around the eyes, minimizing fine lines from smiling and squinting.

Study (Dermatologic Surgery, 2020): Patients who treated crow’s feet with Botox reported high satisfaction and natural-looking results—especially when combined with eye creams or light resurfacing.

Lesser-Known But Highly Effective Botox Areas

4. Bunny Lines (Nose Wrinkles)

Wrinkles that scrunch up on either side of your nose when you smile—Botox smooths them out in just a few units.

5. Lip Flip (Upper Lip Enhancement)

Botox is injected just above the upper lip to relax the muscle, causing the lip to gently "flip" outward, making it appear fuller.

2023 study (JCAD) showed that lip flips are a safe, subtle alternative to filler when performed by skilled injectors, with minimal risk of side effects.

6. Gummy Smile Correction

By relaxing the upper lip elevator muscles, Botox can reduce how much gum is visible when you smile.

7. Chin Dimples (Mentalis Muscle)

Botox helps smooth out a dimply or “pebbled” chin, creating a more youthful, relaxed appearance.

8. Jawline Slimming (Masseter Muscle)

For clients with a square jaw or facial tension, Botox in the masseter muscles can slim the lower face and even reduce jaw clenching or teeth grinding.

Study (Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 2022): Masseter Botox was effective for both cosmetic slimming and managing TMJ symptoms, with results lasting up to 6 months.

9. Neck Bands (Platysmal Bands)

Botox in the vertical neck muscles can smooth necklines and create a more defined jaw and neckline.

Bonus: Advanced and Medical Uses

10. Migraine Relief (FDA Approved)

Botox is FDA-approved to treat chronic migraines by targeting trigger points in the forehead, temples, neck, and shoulders.

Study (Headache Journal, 2021): Botox reduced headache days by up to 50% in patients with chronic migraines over a 6-month period.

11. Excessive Sweating (Hyperhidrosis)

Botox is incredibly effective at treating sweaty underarms, hands, and feet by blocking the sweat glands.

Study (Journal of Dermatological Treatment, 2023): 90% of patients saw a significant reduction in sweating for 4–6 months post-injection.

12. Nasal Tip Droop (Dynamic Nose Correction)

Botox can subtly lift the nasal tip by relaxing the depressor septi muscle—a non-surgical alternative for a more refined profile.
