Botox Injection Areas: Complete Treatment Guide

Botox is one of the most trusted and widely performed non-surgical treatments used to reduce wrinkles and reshape facial features. While most people associate Botox with forehead lines, it can be used in many areas across the face and body to achieve a smoother, more youthful look.

What Is Botox Injection?

Botox injection is a non-surgical cosmetic treatment designed to relax specific muscles and reduce the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and facial tension. It works by temporarily blocking nerve signals that cause muscle contractions, allowing the skin above those muscles to appear smoother and more refreshed.

At The Cosmo Clinic, Botox injections are precisely administered to enhance natural facial harmony. The procedure is quick, typically taking less than 15 minutes, with minimal discomfort and no downtime, making it an ideal choice for both men and women seeking subtle yet noticeable rejuvenation.

Facial Botox Injection Areas

When it comes to facial rejuvenation, Botox for anti-aging is highly versatile. It can be used on the upper, mid, and lower face to smooth fine lines, lift sagging areas, and refine contours, all without surgery.

Forehead

The forehead is one of the most common Botox injection areas. Over time, constant muscle movement from raising the eyebrows leads to horizontal lines that can make the face appear tense or aged. Botox gently relaxes these muscles, creating a smoother and more relaxed look while maintaining natural expression.

Frown Lines (Glabellar Area)

The area between the eyebrows, known as the glabella, often develops vertical “11” lines from frowning or concentrating. Botox softens these lines, helping the face appear calmer and more approachable. Treating this area is often combined with the forehead for balanced upper-face results.

Crow’s Feet

Crow’s feet are the fine lines that form at the outer corners of the eyes when smiling or squinting. Botox in this area helps smooth the wrinkles and refresh the eye area, giving a youthful and rested appearance.

Bunny Lines

These are the small diagonal lines that appear on the sides of the nose when smiling or laughing. Botox helps relax the muscles responsible for these wrinkles, resulting in a smoother, more polished look around the midface and nose.

Eyebrow Lift

Botox can be strategically injected around the brow area to lift slightly drooping eyebrows. This creates a more open, youthful look and enhances the shape of the eyes.

Lip Flip and Gummy Smile

Botox can also enhance the lips by softening the muscle around the mouth. A “lip flip” involves relaxing the upper lip muscle slightly so that the lip rolls outward, creating the appearance of fuller lips without fillers. Similarly, Botox can reduce gum visibility in people who show too much gum when they smile.

Chin and Marionette Lines

As we age, muscle activity around the chin can cause dimpling or an uneven “orange peel” texture. Botox smooths this area, refining the chin’s surface and balancing the lower face. It also helps lift the corners of the mouth by reducing downward muscle pull, giving a softer, more relaxed expression.

Jawline Contouring (Masseter Area)

For those with a square or wide jawline, Botox injections in the masseter muscles can help create a slimmer, V-shaped face. This treatment not only enhances facial proportions but can also relieve tension caused by teeth grinding or jaw clenching, making it both a cosmetic and therapeutic solution.

Neck and Jawline (Nefertiti Lift)

Botox along the jawline and upper neck helps tighten sagging skin and improve definition. This technique, known as the Nefertiti Lift, offers subtle rejuvenation for the lower face and neck area, providing a smoother and more youthful profile without downtime.

Advanced & Less-Known Botox Injection Areas

Beyond traditional wrinkle-smoothing zones, Botox can be used in several advanced or off-label areas to refine contours, lift specific features, and even relieve muscle tension. These treatment areas have gained popularity in Thailand for their subtle yet transformative effects, especially among patients seeking a balanced and refreshed appearance without invasive procedures.

Masseter (Jawline Slimming)

Botox for jaw slimming is one of the most requested advanced Botox treatments in Thailand. Botox is injected into the masseter muscles, the ones used for chewing, to relax and slightly reduce their size. Over time, this helps create a slimmer, more V-shaped lower face. Apart from its aesthetic benefits, the treatment can also ease jaw tension and teeth grinding.

Nasal Tip Lift

For those with a naturally drooping or downward-turned nasal tip, small amounts of Botox can be injected at the base of the nose to subtly lift and refine its position. This gentle enhancement brings more balance to the face and can complement other treatments like lip fillers or cheek contouring.

Platysmal Bands (Neck Lines)

The vertical bands that appear on the neck with age are caused by overactive platysma muscles. Botox injections along these bands relax the area, helping the neck appear smoother and more youthful. This technique also improves jawline definition and is often part of the “Nefertiti Lift.”

Trapezius (“TrapTox”)

TrapTox has become a major beauty trend in Thailand and Korea, especially among women who want a more elongated neck and elegant shoulder line. Botox injected into the trapezius muscles relaxes them, softening the appearance of broad shoulders and easing tension caused by stress or posture.

Non-Facial Botox Injection Areas

While most people associate Botox with facial rejuvenation, its uses go far beyond wrinkles and fine lines. Botox can be applied to various body areas to address functional issues like excessive sweating and muscle overactivity, or to subtly reshape and tone specific zones for improved body aesthetics.

Underarms (Hyperhidrosis)

Botox for sweating is one of the most effective treatments for hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating. When injected into the underarms, it temporarily blocks the nerve signals that trigger sweat glands. The result is significantly reduced perspiration for up to six months.

Hands and Feet

Excessive sweating on the palms or soles can be uncomfortable and socially inconvenient. Botox injections in these areas help control sweat production, allowing patients to feel more at ease in both personal and professional settings.

Calves and Shoulders

Botox can also be used for body contouring, especially in the calves and shoulders. Injecting Botox in these muscle areas reduces bulk and helps achieve a softer, more feminine shape. Many patients choose calf slimming to enhance leg proportions or shoulder contouring to create a delicate, model-like silhouette.

Migraine and TMJ Areas

Medically, Botox has proven effective in relieving chronic migraines and jaw tension caused by temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. By relaxing overactive muscles and reducing strain, it can alleviate pain and discomfort while providing aesthetic benefits such as a more relaxed, harmonious appearance
