Lower Face Botox: Techniques to Lift, Sculpt, and Relieve Naturally
At The Face Lab, we know that the lower face plays a crucial role in framing your natural beauty. Whether it’s a sagging jawline, fine lines around the mouth, or tension in your neck and jaw, Botox offers a precise, effective way to enhance your look and comfort. Let’s explore how lower face and therapeutic Botox techniques work, including innovative treatments like TrapTox and masseter Botox for slimming and TMJ relief.
What Is Lower Face Botox?
Lower face Botox involves strategically placing botulinum toxin injections to address signs of aging, redefine facial contours, and even relieve muscle tension. This approach helps:
- Relax overactive muscles that pull the face downward.
- Smooth wrinkles around the mouth, chin, and jawline.
- Create a lifting effect that restores youthful balance to the face.
- Relieve tension in the jaw and neck for therapeutic benefits.
With the right technique, Botox doesn’t freeze your expression; it enhances your natural beauty by supporting and refreshing your features.
Advanced Botox Techniques at The Face Lab
Our approach to Botox is tailored to your unique needs, blending aesthetics and wellness. By integrating the latest innovations, we deliver results that feel natural and last longer. Here are some techniques we use:
1. Jawline Contouring
Jawline Countouring is treatment that entails microdroplet treatments of neuromodulator along the jawline which utilizes the upper platystmal band to sculpt and lift the skin around the jawline
- Define and contour the jawline for a sculpted appearance.
- A gentle lift in the lower face and cheek positioning
- Balance facial proportions for a more harmonious look.
This technique offers both aesthetic benefits and is something to consider before moving into more invasive treatments like fat dissolving or dermal filler - it is growing in popularity.
2. Jawline Slimming
Masseter Botox is a dual-purpose treatment that slims the lower face and jawline and relieves tension. By relaxing the masseter muscle, we can:
- Slim the jawline for a refined appearance.
- Relieve tension for those with TMJ or teeth grinding.
- Balance facial proportions in those with enlarged muscles
This technique offers both aesthetic and therapeutic benefits, making it a game-changer for many patients.
Named after the Egyptian queen renowned for her striking profile, this technique involves injecting Botox along the jawline and neck to:
- Relax platysmal bands that contribute to sagging.
- Create a tighter, more defined jawline.
- Lift and smooth the lower face and neck.
3. TrapTox for Neck and Posture
TrapTox, or trapezius Botox, or referred to “swan neck” or “barbie neck” focuses on the relaxing trapezius muscles in the neck and shoulders. This treatment:
- Slims the appearance of the neck and shoulders for a more elegant profile.
- Relieves tension and discomfort caused by stress or posture issues.
- Improves overall posture and alignment, enhancing your natural confidence.
TrapTox complements lower face Botox to create a harmonious look from the jawline to the shoulders. It has therapeutic benefits in patients with severe pain and tension - we do always recommend adjunctive treatments such as massage, physiotherapy, chiropractor, and or acupuncture to assist with pain management.
4. “Lip Flip” for Perioral Lines
Fine lines around the lips can subtly age the face. With micro-doses of Botox, we:
- Relax the muscles causing puckering.
- Enhance the natural shape of your lips without fillers.
- Create a smoother, more youthful mouth area.
5. Chin and Marionette Line Treatment
Dynamic chin wrinkles and marionette lines can create a tired or sagging appearance. Botox here can:
- Relax the mentalis muscle, smoothing chin dimples.
- Soften the lines that pull corners of the mouth downward.
- Subtly lift and refresh the lower face.
6. Nefertiti Lift
Named after the Egyptian queen renowned for her striking profile and lifted neck, this technique involves injecting Botox along the lower jawline and neck to:
- Relax platysmal bands that contribute to sagging.
- Create a tighter, more defined jawline.
- Lift and smooth the lower face and neck.
This advanced Botox injection technique is a more complete full version of the jawline contouring technique that treats the lower part of the platsymal band for further lifting.
