Upper Face Botox

What is Upper Face Botox?

Upper face Botox is the injection of botulinum toxin type A into areas on the upper part of the face, such as the eyebrows, forehead, and around the eyes.

How is Upper Face Botox Performed?

Upper face Botox application should only be performed by physicians. During the procedure, botulinum toxin type A is injected into specific muscles on the upper face, particularly in the forehead, eyebrows, and around the eyes, using a needle.

Before the procedure, the patient’s medical history, medication use, and allergic reactions are reviewed by our physician. This ensures the application is performed safely.

During injections with needles, the practitioner targets specific muscles and injects the botulinum toxin. The procedure usually takes about 10-15 minutes. After the procedure, the patient can immediately return to normal activities.

Which Areas Can Botox Be Applied To?

Upper facial Botox can be applied to the following areas:

Wrinkles between the eyebrows (glabella lines)
Horizontal lines on the forehead (frontal lines)
Wrinkles around the eyes (crow’s feet)

When is Upper Facial Botox Performed?

It is a procedure used for various cosmetic purposes. It is generally applied to reduce wrinkles on the face, soften lines, lift the eyebrows, and eliminate wrinkles around the eyes. It can also be used in the treatment of medical conditions such as excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis).
