Beyond Wrinkles: 7 Surprising Ways Botox® Is Used in Aesthetic Medicine

Cosmetologist administering a Botox injection into a woman's forehead, demonstrating a professional anti-wrinkle treatment for smoother skin and facial rejuvenation When most people think of Botox®, they picture smooth foreheads and softened crow’s feet. While that’s certainly part of the appeal, the truth is Botox® offers much more than wrinkle reduction. In aesthetic medicine, Botox® is a versatile tool with several unexpected and transformative uses.

At BioHealth Spa in Jupiter, FL, Dr. Ilona and Dr. Paul Fotek offer advanced Botox® treatments that go far beyond the basics. Trained in both medical and aesthetic techniques, the Foteks use Botox® not only to rejuvenate the skin but also to support facial symmetry, expression, and even comfort. Dr. Ilona Fotek is a member of the International Academy of Facial Aesthetics and is trained in PRF-based techniques. Dr. Paul Fotek is board-certified in periodontics and has extensive experience in aesthetic injectables and regenerative medicine.

1. Jaw Slimming and Facial Contouring

Many patients are surprised to learn that Botox® can help create a more tapered jawline. When injected into the masseter muscles, Botox® helps soften bulky or overactive muscles, resulting in a slimmer, more feminine appearance. This technique is popular among patients with bruxism (teeth grinding) or those looking to refine the shape of their lower face.

2. Gummy Smile Correction

If excessive gum tissue shows when you smile, Botox® may offer a subtle yet effective solution. A few well-placed units around the upper lip can reduce how high the lip rises, minimizing gum exposure without affecting your natural smile.

3. Lip Flip for Fuller-Looking Lips

Unlike fillers, which add volume, Botox® can be used to slightly outwardly “flip” the upper lip by relaxing the muscles around the mouth. This creates the illusion of fuller lips and improves definition for patients who want a subtle enhancement.

4. Bunny Line Softening

Those fine diagonal lines on the sides of your nose (aka “bunny lines”) can deepen with repeated expression over time. A small dose of Botox® in this area helps smooth the skin while preserving natural facial movement.

5. Neck Bands and Lines

Botox® can also be used to relax vertical neck bands and horizontal lines, often referred to as “tech neck.” Injections into the platysma muscle help soften the appearance of neck tension, restoring a more youthful neckline.

6. Brow Lifting

A strategic brow lift using Botox® can subtly elevate the outer brows by relaxing muscles that pull them downward. This creates a refreshed, open-eyed look without the need for surgery.

7. Under-Eye Wrinkle Reduction

While Botox® is not injected directly under the eye, careful treatment around the lower lid and crow’s feet area can minimize fine lines and reduce the tired appearance that often comes with aging.
