Bunny lines are the wrinkles that form on the sides of the nose when smiling or squinting. Targeting these lines with Botox or Dysport smooths the area for a more polished look.

Botox or Dysport in the masseter muscles can slim the jawline, relieve teeth grinding, and soften a square-shaped face.

A subtle smile lift with Botox or Dysport treatments can correct drooping corners of the mouth, resulting in a more lifted and pleasant resting facial expression.

This Botox or Dysport lip flip treatment adds a slight lift to the upper lip, creating a fuller, more defined pout without fillers.
9. Gummy Smile (2 to 6 units)
Botox or Dysport for a gummy smile reduces the exposure of the gums when smiling, providing a more balanced smile.
10. Dimpled Chin (4 to 8 units)
Smoothing a dimpled or “orange peel” texture on the chin with Botox or Dysport can create a more even, relaxed chin appearance.
11. Neck Bands (25 to 50 units)
Treating neck bands, or platysmal bands, with Botox or Dysport helps tighten and smooth the neck, reducing signs of aging in the area.
