CHAPTER FIFTY-THREE: What Areas Can Be Treated with Neurotoxin? A Full Guide
When most people think of neurotoxin (like Jeuveau or Xeomin), they picture smoother foreheads & fewer frown lines. But did you know neurotoxin treatments can do so much more?
From softening expression lines to refining facial contours & even treating medical concerns, neurotoxin is one of the most versatile tools in aesthetics. Here’s your complete guide to where it can be used—plus why people love it.
First, What Is Neurotoxin?
Neurotoxin treatments work by temporarily relaxing the muscles that cause wrinkles & movement. When injected strategically, they can reduce lines, improve symmetry, & even prevent new wrinkles from forming.
Most Common Cosmetic Treatment Areas:
1. Forehead Lines
Those horizontal lines that appear when you raise your brows? Neurotoxin smooths them while still allowing for natural movement.
2. Frown Lines (“11s”)
The vertical lines between the brows that deepen when you squint or frown—softened beautifully with just a few tiny injections.
3. Crow’s Feet
The fine lines at the outer corners of the eyes. Treating this area gives the eyes a more open, refreshed appearance.
Lower-Face & Advanced Areas:
4. Bunny Lines
The little scrunch lines on the sides of your nose when you smile or laugh.
5. Lip Flip
A subtle treatment that relaxes the muscle around the mouth, allowing the upper lip to appear slightly fuller.
6. Gummy Smile
‘Tox can be used to soften the lift of the upper lip when smiling, reducing how much gum shows.
7. Dimpled Chin (aka “Orange Peel Chin”)
Helps smooth out the texture caused by overactive chin muscles.
8. Jawline / Masseter Muscle
Used for both jaw slimming and relief from clenching or grinding—this treatment is both cosmetic & functional.
9. Neck Bands (Platysmal Bands)
Reduces the appearance of tight, vertical neck muscles that can become more prominent with age.
Therapeutic Uses:
10. Migraine Relief
‘Tox has FDA approval for chronic migraines & is injected into specific points around the head, neck, + shoulders.
11. Excessive Sweating (Hyperhidrosis)
Used to block sweat glands in the underarms, hands, feet, or even the scalp.
Can It Prevent Wrinkles Too?
Absolutely. Many clients in their 20s & 30s use neurotoxin as a preventative treatment—relaxing the muscles early to prevent lines from ever setting in deeply.
