APEX Botox treatment areas

A look at APEX Botox treatment areas.

1. 01Eye Area

   The skin around the eyes is thinner than elsewhere and blinks constantly, so wrinkles form easily there. Botox can weaken the action of the muscles that create wrinkles so that they increase less. It works particularly well for younger patients and for fine lines and expression lines.

2. 02Forehead

   Habits such as frequently raising the eyebrows can create wrinkles on the forehead. When the wrinkles stretch out horizontally at eye level, they can make you look older than your actual age. Botox can weaken the action of the forehead muscles and help improve the wrinkles. For deeply etched wrinkles, filler is sometimes used alongside it.

3. 03Glabella, nose bridge

   Glabellar lines are the wrinkles that form between the eyes in a pattern resembling the character 川. Frequently frowning with the facial muscles deepens them. Using Botox to control the movement of the glabellar muscles can help the wrinkles smooth out. Where the wrinkles are deep, filler is sometimes combined with the treatment.

4. 04Square Jaw

   Where the muscles used for chewing are overdeveloped and give a square jaw appearance, Botox can reduce the masseter muscle without bone-shaving surgery. Reducing the masseter alone can make the face look smaller and more slender.

5. 05Cobblestone Chin

   These are the uneven wrinkles on the chin that appear from wearing braces or from a habit of covering the teeth. They are also called a 'walnut chin' because the surface resembles a walnut. Injecting Botox into the chin muscle suppresses the muscle movement and can improve the wrinkles.

6. 06Mouth corners, philtrum

   Injecting Botox into the muscle that pulls the corners of the mouth downward can naturally lift drooping mouth corners for a smiling impression. Conversely, where the philtrum is asymmetrical when smiling or the gums show excessively, Botox can be injected to restore symmetry and reduce gum exposure.

7. 07Neck Wrinkles

   Neck wrinkles are often called ‘a woman's growth rings’, because they are absent in youth and become more pronounced with age. Neck wrinkles usually run vertically and are caused by the muscles, so Botox is used. When they are severe, the treatment can be combined with a lifting procedure.

8. 08Calves

   This treatment injects Botox into the overdeveloped inner and outer calf muscles to suppress the release of neurotransmitters and induce muscle weakening, creating slimmer calves. It involves no surgical process and the recovery period is short, making it a way to achieve shapely legs in a short time.

9. 09Hyperhidrosis

   Hyperhidrosis, where the hands stream with sweat at the slightest tension, can be treated with thoracic surgery, but where surgery feels like too much, a simple Botox treatment can also improve the symptoms. This injection therapy rather than surgery can free you from sweat on the palms, soles, underarms and face, and you can return to daily life immediately.

10. 10Trapezius

    This treatment softens and slims the line from the neck to the shoulders. It can be performed not only for aesthetic reasons but also to treat shoulder pain. It is popular with brides-to-be who need to wear off-the-shoulder outfits or wedding dresses, and it also works well for those who feel stiffness and pain in the shoulders from an overdeveloped trapezius.
