Botox Treatment Areas in Sherwood Park

The frontalis muscle creates horizontal forehead lines with every expression. I assess each client's muscle strength and brow position before selecting injection points — forehead Botox must always be balanced with glabellar treatment to avoid brow heaviness. Typically 10–20 units. Results vary by individual.

The corrugator and procerus muscles create vertical frown lines between the brows — one of the most common concerns I treat. Early treatment can prevent these lines from deepening at rest. Typically 15–25 units. Results vary by individual.

The orbicularis oculi muscle fans around the eye, creating crow's feet with every smile. I use a fan-pattern injection approach that softens lines while preserving natural smile expressiveness — a balance that requires careful placement. Typically 5–15 units per side. Results vary by individual.

Strategic relaxation of the lateral brow depressors allows the frontalis to gently lift the outer brow — opening the eye area without surgery. I assess brow position and symmetry during consultation before recommending this approach. Results vary by individual facial anatomy.

For clients with jaw clenching, TMJ discomfort, or teeth grinding, targeted masseter injection can significantly reduce muscle hyperactivity and the associated discomfort. This is one of the most clinically rewarding treatments I perform. Results vary by individual.

Beyond TMJ treatment, masseter Botox can slim the lower face by reducing the bulk of an enlarged masseter muscle. Full aesthetic results develop over 4–6 weeks as the muscle gradually reduces in size. Results vary by individual and may require maintenance every 4–6 months.

A small amount of Botox placed in the levator labii superioris alaeque nasi limits how high the upper lip rises when smiling — reducing visible gum show. Placement precision is critical here; I use minimal effective doses and review the result at 2 weeks. Results vary by individual.

Bunny lines are the diagonal wrinkles that appear on the nose bridge with certain expressions — often more noticeable after treatment of other areas draws attention to the nose. A small amount of Botox in the nasalis muscle smooths these lines naturally. Results vary by individual.

A lip flip uses a very small amount of neuromodulator in the orbicularis oris to gently roll the upper lip outward, increasing visible lip surface without adding volume. I recommend this for clients who want subtle upper lip definition — often as a first step before considering filler. Results vary by individual.

For clients affected by excessive underarm sweating, Botox injected into the eccrine glands blocks the nerve signals that trigger sweat production. This is one of the longest-lasting Botox applications — results typically last 6–9 months. Prescription required, reviewed during consultation. Results vary by individual.

Botox placed along the platysmal bands of the neck can soften vertical neck cords and provide a subtle lifting effect on the lower face — the Nefertiti Lift. This is an advanced application I discuss during consultation for appropriate candidates. Results vary by individual.
