In cosmetic applications, Botox is typically injected into specific muscles of the face to temporarily paralyze them. This can smooth out wrinkles and lines caused by repetitive facial expressions, such as smiling, frowning, or squinting.

Common areas for Botox injections in the face include:

• Glabellar lines (frown lines): These are the vertical lines that appear between the eyebrows when you frown. Botox can relax the muscles that cause these lines to form.

• Forehead lines: Botox can be used to soften horizontal lines that appear on the forehead when you raise your eyebrows.

• Crow's feet: These are the lines that form at the outer corners of the eyes when you smile or squint. Botox can reduce their appearance by relaxing the muscles around the eyes.

• Bunny lines: These are the wrinkles that appear on the bridge of the nose when you scrunch up your nose. Botox can help smooth these lines.

• Downturned mouth: Botox can be used to lift the corners of the mouth, reducing the appearance of a downturned or sad expression.

• Chin dimpling: Botox can smooth the appearance of dimples or wrinkles on the chin.
