Botox Results by Area

Botox before and after results vary by where it is placed. Start with the area closest to your concern.

Forehead lines

Forehead lines are treated to soften horizontal creases while keeping natural expression. A typical forehead range is 10 to 20 units, personalized to your muscle strength.

11 lines (frown lines)

Frown lines between the brows, often called 11 lines, respond well to treatment. A typical range is 20 to 30 units, adjusted at your consultation.

Crow's feet

Lines around the eyes soften when the muscles that squint are relaxed. Both sides typically use 20 to 30 units, and your injector will tailor the amount.

Eyebrow lift

Brow lifting and shaping is another area our injectors treat, using precise placement to open up the eyes without changing your expression.

Chin and gummy smile

A dimpled or puckered chin can be softened with a small amount of Botox. Gummy smile correction is treated in a similar, conservative way.

The lip flip

A lip flip relaxes the muscle around the mouth so the upper lip rolls out slightly, for a fuller look without filler. A lip flip typically uses 4 to 6 units.

Jawline and neck bands

Botox can soften the lower face along the jawline and ease neck bands. Your injector will explain what to expect and whether it suits you.

Masseter muscles (jaw slimming)

Relaxing the masseter muscles can slim a wide or square jaw and ease clenching. Results build over several weeks, and your injector will plan the amount.

Bunny lines

Bunny lines are the scrunch lines that appear on the sides of the nose when you smile or squint. A small amount can soften them.

About Botox

Botox is a neuromodulator that temporarily relaxes the facial muscles responsible for expression lines. It is best for dynamic wrinkles, the lines created by muscle movement, such as forehead lines, frown lines, and crow's feet.

Who Botox suits

  • Forehead lines, frown lines, and crow's feet
  • Anyone who wants to soften expression lines without surgery
  • People exploring preventive treatment in their late 20s and 30s
  • Patients who want natural-looking results that preserve expression

How many units of Botox do you need?

The number of units depends on the area, the strength of your muscles, and the look you want. Typical ranges are 10 to 20 units for the forehead, 20 to 30 for frown lines, 20 to 30 for crow's feet, and 40 to 60 for a full upper face.

These are general ranges, not a promise. Your injector will confirm the right amount at your consultation, and you can always start conservatively.

Botox, Dysport, or Xeomin?

Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin are FDA-approved neuromodulators that work in similar ways. Dysport may spread slightly more and can start working a day or two sooner. Some patients prefer one over another based on how they respond. We carry all three and will recommend the right one for you.

Care

Botox Before and After Care

Botox needs very little downtime. A few simple habits help you get the best result.

Before your appointment

  • Tell us about your medical history, medications, and supplements.
  • Come with photos of the look you want, and tell us how much movement you want to keep.
  • Allow about two weeks before a big event so the full effect has time to settle.

After your appointment

  • Return to your day right away. There is no downtime.
  • Ask us how long to avoid rubbing or pressing the treated areas and when to resume exercise.
  • Expect initial softening in 3 to 5 days and the full effect at 10 to 14 days.
  • If you feel your result is not enough at two weeks, contact us for a follow-up assessment.

Questions

Botox questions, answered

What does first time Botox before and after look like?

+

For a first treatment, most people see softening in 3 to 5 days and the full effect at 10 to 14 days. Your injector may suggest starting conservatively so you can see how you like it and add more later.

What does Botox before and after look like on forehead lines and 11 lines?

+

Forehead lines and 11 lines soften as the muscles that create them relax, while the rest of your face keeps moving naturally. Most people see initial softening in 3 to 5 days and the full effect at 10 to 14 days.

What does Botox before and after forehead lines look like?

+

Forehead lines soften as the muscle relaxes, smoothing the horizontal lines that show when you raise your eyebrows while keeping natural movement elsewhere.

What does 11 lines Botox before and after look like?

+

The vertical lines between the brows soften at rest and stop deepening further with repeated expression. Depending on their depth, filler is sometimes added alongside Botox for a fuller result.

What does eyebrow lift Botox before and after look like?

+

A few units placed just above the brow can lift and open the eye area slightly for a more refreshed look, on the same 3 to 14 day timeline as other Botox areas.

What does jawline Botox before and after look like?

+

Botox injected into the masseter muscle can slim a wide or square jawline as the muscle relaxes over several weeks, and can also ease jaw tension or grinding.

What does masseter muscles Botox before and after look like?

+

Masseter Botox relaxes the jaw muscle to reduce a wide or square appearance and can ease clenching or grinding. Visible slimming builds gradually as the muscle reduces in size, usually over 4 to 8 weeks.

What does chin Botox before and after look like?

+

A small amount of Botox in the chin can smooth a dimpled or uneven texture, giving the chin a softer, more even appearance at rest.

What does lips Botox before and after look like?

+

A lip flip uses a small amount of Botox at the border of the upper lip to relax the muscle and roll the lip slightly outward, without adding volume the way filler does.

What does bunny line Botox before and after look like?

+

Bunny lines are the diagonal lines that show on the sides of the nose when it scrunches. A small amount of Botox softens them without changing how the nose moves overall.

How long does Botox last?

+

Botox typically lasts 3 to 4 months. Muscle strength, metabolism, and the treated area can affect how long it lasts.

How many units of Botox do I need for forehead lines, 11 lines, or crow's feet?

+

Typical ranges are 10 to 20 units for forehead lines, 20 to 30 units for 11 lines, and 20 to 30 units for crow's feet across both sides. A full upper face commonly uses 40 to 60 units. Your injector will confirm the amount that suits you.

What is the difference between Botox and Dysport?

+

Both are FDA-approved botulinum toxin neuromodulators that work similarly. Dysport may spread slightly more and can start working a day or two faster. We carry both and can recommend the right option for you.

Will Botox make my face look frozen?

+

It should not. Our approach preserves your expressions and avoids an overdone look. Natural results come from precise placement and the right amount for your muscles.

Is Botox safe?

+

Botox is FDA-approved and has been used safely for more than 20 years. When administered by trained providers under physician supervision, it is generally well tolerated. Temporary bruising and mild swelling at the injection site can occur.

What is a good age to start Botox?

+

There is no universal right age. Starting in your mid to late 20s may help slow the development of deeper lines, while treatment in your 30s, 40s, and beyond can soften existing lines.

What else can Botox treat besides the upper face?

+

Our injectors also treat brow shaping, bunny lines on the nose, chin dimpling, gummy smile, neck bands, a lip flip, and jaw slimming through the masseter.

Can I combine Botox with fillers or other treatments?

+

Yes. Botox relaxes muscle movement, while fillers replace lost volume, and many patients benefit from both. Botox also pairs well with RF microneedling and AgeJet.

Do you offer Botox near me in Newport Beach?

+

Yes. Grey Aesthetics is at 4001 Westerly Pl, STE 103, in Newport Beach, and welcomes patients from Costa Mesa, Irvine, Corona del Mar, and across Orange County.
