Beyond the Forehead: Surprising Areas Botox Can Treat

When most people think of Botox, they picture smoothing out forehead lines or relaxing crow’s feet around the eyes. But Botox can do so much more. This versatile injectable treatment can address several subtle signs of aging across the lower face and neck, enhancing your overall appearance while maintaining natural movement and balance.

Here’s a look at some lesser-known (but incredibly effective) areas where Botox can work its magic.

1. Orange Peel Chin

Over time, the chin can begin to pull, dimple, and take on a bumpy “orange peel” texture when we speak or smile. As we age, these dimples can become more pronounced and permanent.

💡 Pro Tip: If you already have filler in your chin, combining it with Botox can relax the underlying muscle, extending your filler’s results and creating a smoother, more refined look.

2. Platysmal Bands

Those rope-like bands that appear on the neck as we age are called platysmal bands — and they’re one of the first signs of lower face aging. While many focus on facial rejuvenation, the neck often gets overlooked.

💡 Pro Tip: Botox can be strategically injected into the platysmal bands to soften their appearance, smooth the neck, and define the jawline — creating a more youthful lower face contour.

3. Downturned Corners of the Mouth

The DAO (depressor anguli oris) muscle can pull the corners of the mouth downward, leading to marionette lines or a “permanent frown.” This can make you appear tired or upset, even when you’re not.

💡 Pro Tip: Botox and filler make a perfect pairing here. Botox lifts and relaxes the downward pull, while filler restores volume for a subtle, natural lift at the corners of the mouth.

4. Lower Face Jowling – The Nefertiti Neck Lift

As the lower face begins to sag with age, jowls may form, causing the jawline to lose definition. The Nefertiti Neck Lift — a technique that uses Botox along the jawline — helps tighten and lift this area, restoring shape and contour.

💡 Pro Tip: Adding Botox to the lower jawline can rejuvenate and lift the entire lower face. It also enhances facial harmony and may improve mid face volume.
