What signs of aging occur in the upper face?

As we get older, our skin starts to show signs of a life well-lived. Wrinkles appear as a result of repeated facial expressions, loss of collagen and elastin, and UV exposure. In the upper face, these signs of aging are most noticeable in the forehead, between the eyebrows, and around the eyes. Here are some of the most common concerns:

• Forehead lines (horizontal wrinkles across the forehead)
• Frown lines (vertical lines between the eyebrows)
• Crow's feet (lines at the corners of the eyes)
• Bunny lines (lines on the bridge of the nose near the inner corners of the eyes)

How BOTOX enhances your natural beauty

BOTOX can work like a magic reset button for your skin. By blocking signals between the nerves and muscles, it helps facial muscles relax, smoothing out wrinkles and helping to restore a youthful glow. One of the best parts? It's all about enhancing your facial features — not changing them. There's no need to worry about looking "frozen" with BOTOX, as our skilled providers at Amour Medical Aesthetics use precise techniques to achieve natural-looking outcomes.

What happens during a BOTOX appointment?

The best wrinkle relaxer options are safe, effective, and can be completed in a single appointment. During a consultation with Dr. Alonso, we'll discuss your aesthetic goals and determine the right dosage for your unique needs. BOTOX is then injected using a tiny needle into specific muscles in the upper face. The procedure typically takes 10 – 15 minutes in Chico, CA, and there is no downtime needed afterward.

How long does BOTOX last in the upper face?

So, how long does BOTOX last when used in the upper face? On average, BOTOX can last anywhere from 3 – 4 months. However, this timeline varies based on your metabolism, lifestyle habits, and dosage. Want to keep that glow going long-term? Dr. Alonso recommends booking quick touch-up appointments every few months to maintain your results and keep your skin looking refreshed.

What other benefits do cosmetic injectables offer?

Many people turn to over-the-counter creams or serums for signs of aging, but these products often fall short of delivering results. On the other hand, plastic surgery can be costly and require significant downtime. BOTOX and other cosmetic injectables offer a middle ground, providing nonsurgical solutions for reducing wrinkles, restoring lost volume, and enhancing facial contours.
