The places where you should never inject Botox on the body are in the neck, in the chin, in the temple, near the nose and eye socket, in the forehead, around the mouth and around the eyes.
When injecting Botox around your eyes you should not inject the Botox between the eyebrows or Glabella as it can lead to Ocular Ischemia, Drooping Eyelids and Botox infections.
You should also not inject Botox near your mouth or under the eye.
Injecting Botox too far forward into your masseter can affect the risorius muscle that pulls the mouth up and out when you smile.
Injecting Botox under your eyes can create an unnatural appearance when you smile.
You can just treat the frontalis with Botox although it's not recommended as treating just the frontalis with Botox can lead to a heavy brow appearance as a result of the imbalance which is created by relaxing only your forehead muscles.
It's always best to treat the frontalis as well as the other areas like your glabella between your eyebrows with the Botox to get a more balance look and result.
The place that you inject Botox in frontalis is either either intramuscularly or superficially just under the subcutaneous tissues.
Most Botox injections are given at least 1.5 cm above the superior orbital rim to prevent ptosis and Botox injections into the mid and upper portions of your frontalis are less likely to cause brown or lid ptosis.
The muscles that control the forehead are the frontalis muscles and the occipitalis muscles which provide movement for the eyebrows, scalp and forehead and are also innervated by the temporal and posterior auricular branches of your facial nerve.
The frontalis muscle elevates the eyebrows and the corrugator supercilii, orbicularis oculi, and procerus play a role in its depression.
The contraction of your frontalis muscles causes horizontal forehead wrinkles.
The frontalis muscles are two large fan-like muscles that extend from the eyebrow region to the top of the forehead.
Your frontalis muscle originates from the galea aponeurotica and inserts at the skin of the eyebrows and nose.
Our frontalis muscle plays a very significant role in day-to-day social interactions.
As the only muscle that raises the eyebrows, the frontalis muscles function goes beyond simply keeping the brows out of one's visual field; it is also necessary for conveying emotions and nonverbal communication.
A problem that can occur with the frontalis muscle is strain.
Frontalis strain manifests through pain across the forehead or tension headaches.
The best way to relieve strain on this muscle is to either rest it and apply a cool compress or gently massage the forehead.
Massage stimulates blood flow to the forehead and can relieve frontalis muscle tension.
Eyebrow exercises target the frontalis muscle, which raises the eyebrows.
It's also essential for emotional expression and nonverbal communication.
Strengthening this muscle can help improve facial symmetry and overall muscle control, making creating expressions like shock and surprise easier.
Upper eyelid dermatochalasis often triggers frontalis hyperactivity in an effort to elevate the upper lids away from the visual axis.
Similarly, prior neuromodulator treatment of the brow depressors may cause false elevation of the brows, diminishing the extent of preoperative brow ptosis or dermatochalasis.
