Lower face muscle relaxtion treatment
Lower face muscle relaxtion treatment involves the use of toxin to address specific concerns in the lower part of the face. Btx injection temporarily paralyzes or weakens muscles, and it is commonly used for cosmetic purposes to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. When applied to the lower face, it can target specific muscles to achieve various aesthetic goals.
Common lower face Botox treatments include:
Mentalis Muscle Treatment: The mentalis muscle is located in the chin and can cause “orange peel” or “pebble” texture when it contracts. Btx injections can relax this muscle, smoothing the appearance of the chin.
Masseter Muscle Treatment: The masseter muscles are responsible for jaw movement and can contribute to a square-shaped jaw. Btx injections in the masseter muscles can help reduce jaw clenching, slimming the lower face.
Platysma Bands Treatment: The platysma is a thin, broad muscle in the neck that can cause vertical bands or cords to become more visible with age. Btx can be used to relax the platysma, reducing the appearance of these bands.
Marionette Lines and Downturned Mouth: Btx can be used to relax the muscles around the mouth, reducing the appearance of marionette lines (lines extending from the corners of the mouth) and lifting downturned corners.
Lip Flip: In addition to the lower face, Btx can be used on the upper lip to create a “lip flip.” This involves injecting the neurotoxin to relax the muscles, causing the upper lip to roll slightly upward, giving the appearance of fuller lips.
