Expert Injectors Reveal Early Botox Memories to Celebrate Its 20-Year Anniversary

“At the beginning we were focused on ‘freezing’ peoples foreheads. Now we use Botox to treat and prevent wrinkles without giving an artificial, frozen look. In addition, I am more focused on using Botox artistically to elevate and shape eyebrows. Also, we continue to find so many more uses for it such as treating enlarged masseter muscles, slimming the face, treating gummy smiles, pebbled chins, turning up the corners of the mouth, lip flips and neck lines. We also do ‘Baby Botox’ where we give smaller amounts to younger patients to prevent and treat fine lines.”
