That Botox brow lift can be oh so lovely when it's done right! ❤️ It can open up your eye, lift your upper lid and make you look more awake (less tired!!)!
Your eyes are the windows to your soul and framing and accentuating them is always desirable.👁️..
Good result depends on:

1️⃣ Muscular activity in the correct muscle region
2️⃣ Botox treatment in the levator muscle (aka the forehead)
3️⃣ Correct dose/number or units
Bonus 4️⃣ - correct placement and distribution of those units.

The chin is one of my favorite areas to treat with Botox.
It's really amazing how impactful it is, especially for certain people with a strong mentalis (chin) muscle. .
Pair it with Nefrititi lift and you got yourself as close to a liquid facelift as you can get!

A few units of Botox may be all you need for a prettier smile! (Although all smiles are already pretty!)

Analyzing the muscles around the mouth will help determine the right approach.
Option: Lip flip - to plump up the upper lip
Option 2: "Gummy smile tox" into LLSAN - to lower the upper lip down
Option 3: All of the above: lower the lip and get it plumper at the same time!

Why does my Botox wear off faster than my friends?

If you feel like your Botox disappears way sooner than your friend’s, you’re not imagining it. There are several reasons this can happen.

💉 *Dose matters.* The amount used and where it’s placed can affect how long your result lasts. ⚠️ However - sometimes your particular muscle cannot take any more Botox without becoming too weak and heavy (for instance forehead muscle) - if that's the case you have no choice but to accept that it won't last as long and you may need to do it more frequently.

💪 *Your muscle strength matters.* Strong, highly active muscles may regain movement sooner. Often this can be compensated for by a higher dose.

🏃‍♀️ *Your lifestyle can play a role.* Exercise, metabolism and other individual factors may influence how quickly your results fade... If you are a gym bunny, regularly use saunas or hot yoga - you Botox won't last as long...
But this is not a reason to stop doing all those great things - they will help you more than Botox :)

🧬 *Your biology matters.* Some people simply metabolize neuromodulators faster than others. 🤷🏽‍♀️ I wish we knew the secret gene that makes some people's Botox last 6 months..

🙂 And sometimes... Botox may not be the right answer and that is why it's not working! Speak to your provider about other treatment options!
