There’s a common misconception that the only use for Botox is to relax facial muscles in order to smooth out wrinkles, but the truth is far more exciting than that! Properly applied, Botox can actually be used to achieve facial sculpting – not only erasing frown lines, but sculpting the face to achieve a certain look.

Take the forehead for instance. As we age, it’s not only those awful wrinkles that come into play, but the forehead sags too and this dragging effect spills over onto the eyes, which look narrower as a result. The effect is that we now not only look older but also more tired too. And I challenge you to show me the person who aspires to look both old and tired!

The solution? To insert just the right amount of Botox into the exact right muscles, so they subtly pull the eyes upward, opening them up and giving you a fresher, younger look, while at the same time smoothing the forehead. A side note: ‘just the right amount’ and ‘subtly’ are the keys here, because too much Botox will yield a decidedly unsubtle lift – giving you a look of permanent surprise and a possible new job as the poster child for bad Botox.

It follows then that achieving facial sculpting with Botox requires an in-depth knowledge of facial muscles, experience to know just the right amount of Botox to use and a very precise technique. Sadly, many patients find themselves moving from doctor to doctor and enduring one bad Botox experience after another, as they search for someone with the skill to give them the look they want. Happily that’s not you! As a Medi-Sculpt patient you have ready access to this transforming technique.
