When it comes to facial aesthetics, the lower face often doesn’t get the spotlight it deserves. However, the lower face is a key area where signs of aging can become quite noticeable. At Contour Collection, we believe in a comprehensive approach to facial rejuvenation, which includes addressing the lower face with targeted Botox or Dysport treatments. Let’s delve into how Botox can enhance the lower face, focusing on the depressor anguli oris (DAO) muscles, platysmal bands, and the chin.
UNDERSTANDING THE LOWER FACIAL ANATOMY
The lower face consists of several muscles that contribute to expressions and facial movements. Over time, these muscles can cause wrinkles, sagging, and other signs of aging. The primary muscles and areas of interest for Botox treatments in the lower face include:
Depressor Anguli Oris (DAO) Muscles: These muscles are responsible for pulling the corners of the mouth downward, contributing to a sad or frowning appearance.
Platysmal Bands: Vertical bands that become more prominent with age, creating a “turkey neck” appearance.
Chin: The chin can develop a dimpled or pebbled appearance, often referred to as "orange peel" skin.
BOTOX FOR THE DAO
The DAO muscles play a significant role in our expressions. With age, the downward pull of these muscles can create marionette lines and a perpetual frown. By strategically injecting Botox into the DAO muscles, we can relax them, allowing the corners of the mouth to lift and creating a more youthful, happier appearance.
Benefits:
Reduces the appearance of marionette lines.
Creates a more balanced and harmonious smile.
Enhances overall facial aesthetics by lifting the corners of the mouth.
BOTOX FOR THE PLATYSMAL BANDS
Platysmal bands are the vertical muscles in the neck that can become more prominent as we age. These bands can give the neck a sagging appearance and disrupt the smooth contour of the jawline. Botox injections into the platysmal bands can relax these muscles, smoothing the neck and enhancing the jawline.
Benefits:
Smooths and tightens the neck area.
Reduces the appearance of vertical neck bands.
Enhances the definition of the jawline.
BOTOX FOR THE CHIN
A dimpled or pebbled chin, often called “orange peel” skin, is caused by the overactivity of the mentalis muscle. Botox can be used to relax this muscle, smoothing the skin and improving the contour of the chin.
Benefits:
Smooths the dimpled appearance of the chin.
Improves the overall contour and shape of the chin.
Enhances the balance and harmony of the lower face.
