What are the names of the Botox Treatment Areas of the Face and Neck?

What Each One Does, and Why People Choose It

Let’s bust a myth.

Botox is not just “forehead lines” and it is not automatically about looking frozen. Used well, it is about relaxing specific muscles that pull, crease, scrunch, or drag the face down, so you look more rested, smoother, and often a bit more lifted, without losing your expressions.

Here’s a straight-talking guide to the most popular areas, what they’re for, and the kind of result people usually want.

Forehead lines

Why people do it: to soften horizontal lines across the forehead.

The frontalis muscle lifts the brows and creates those “surprised” lines. Relaxing it can smooth the forehead and make makeup sit better.

Result you’re aiming for:

• Smoother forehead

• Less creasing when you raise your brows

• A calmer, more rested look

Good to know: too heavy-handed here can drop the brows, so good placement and balanced dosing matters.

Frown (11’s)

Why people do it: to soften the vertical lines between the brows that can make you look angry, stressed, or fed up when you are not.

This area is often the biggest “mood changer” because it takes away that constant tension.

Result you’re aiming for:

• Softer 11’s

• A less “cross” resting expression

• A more open, relaxed brow area

Crow’s feet (laughter lines)

Why people do it: to soften lines at the outer corners of the eyes when smiling.

These lines are normal and they are often a sign of a happy face. People usually do this to reduce deep creasing while keeping a natural smile.

Result you’re aiming for:

• Smoother eye corners

• Less crinkling on smiling

• A fresher eye area without losing warmth

Eyebrow lift

Why people do it: to subtly lift and open the eye area without surgery.

This is about relaxing the muscles that pull down slightly, allowing the brow to sit a touch higher.

Result you’re aiming for:

• A slightly higher brow tail

• A more open eye

• A lifted, brighter look

Good to know: it is subtle. Think “refreshed”, not “different person”.

Bunny lines (nose scrunch lines)

Why people do it: to soften the little diagonal wrinkles that appear on the sides of the nose when you smile or scrunch.

Some people notice these more after starting other areas, because expressions shift slightly.

Result you’re aiming for:

• Less nose scrunching

• Smoother sides of the nose

• Cleaner look in photos when smiling

Under eye (jelly roll)

Why people do it: to soften the small roll or bunching under the lower lash line when smiling.

This is a specialist area because tiny changes make a big difference.

Result you’re aiming for:

• Less “puffy roll” when smiling

• A smoother lower lid area

• A softer transition under the eye

Good to know: not everyone is suitable. If you already have under-eye laxity or dryness, this can sometimes make things look worse, so assessment matters.

Nose tip (Tinkerbell lift)

Why people do it: to reduce a drooping nose tip when smiling.

Some noses dip slightly when certain muscles pull. Relaxing that pull can allow the tip to sit a bit higher.

Result you’re aiming for:

• Less downward pull when smiling

• A slightly more lifted tip at rest

• Subtle refinement, not a reshaped nose

Lip flip

Why people do it: to gently relax the upper lip so it curls outward slightly, showing a bit more pink lip without adding volume.

This is not filler. It is a tiny muscle tweak.

Result you’re aiming for:

• Slightly more visible upper lip

• Less “lip tuck” when you smile

• A softer look around the mouth

Good to know: it can affect how the lip moves temporarily, so if you rely on strong lip function for certain things (some jobs, instruments, lots of public speaking), it is worth mentioning.

DAO (sad mouth corners)

Why people do it: to reduce the downward pull at the corners of the mouth that can make you look sad or displeased.

The DAO muscles pull the mouth corners down. Relax them and the corners often sit more neutral.

Result you’re aiming for:

• Less downturn at the corners

• A more neutral, softer mouth shape

• A “lighter” resting expression

Chin smoothing (mentalis)

Why people do it: to soften a dimpled, pebbled, or “orange peel” chin, and reduce chin tension.

The mentalis can bunch the chin texture when it is overactive.

Result you’re aiming for:

• Smoother chin texture

• Less dimpling

• A calmer lower face

Platysma bands (Nefertiti lift)

Why people do it: to soften the vertical neck bands and help define the jawline.

The platysma can pull down on the lower face and create visible bands in the neck, especially when talking or tensing.

Result you’re aiming for:

• Softer neck bands

• A cleaner jawline edge

• A subtle lower-face lift effect

Good to know: it is not a neck-tightening replacement for significant loose skin, but it can make a real difference for the right person.
