Botox Treatment in Cambridge – Smooth Wrinkles, Look Refreshed

Masseter Botox for a Broad Jawline

A broad, square jaw in women may be perceived as a masculine or undesirable feature. Some women inherit a prominent jaw bone, while others develop a square jaw over time due to the overdevelopment of their masseter(chewing) muscle, often as a result of habits like teeth grinding or excessive chewing gum. When a wide jaw is attributed to an enlarged masseter, Botox can be utilized to relax this muscle, resulting in a softer, less angular jaw appearance.

Botox for Crow’s Feet

Crow’s feet, commonly referred to as ‘smile lines’, are wrinkles that appear at the corners of the eyes. They are among the earliest indicators of aging, although factors such as sun exposure and smoking significantly contribute as well. The formation of crow’s feet begins with the decline of collagen levels as one ages.

Botox for Teeth Grinding

Teeth grinding, known medically as bruxism, refers to the involuntary clenching of the teeth. This condition can manifest during both daytime and nighttime, leading to physical discomfort such as jaw pain and headaches. Additionally, it can result in various dental issues, including heightened tooth sensitivity, chipped teeth, and enamel erosion.

At Instabeauty Aesthetics, we address this issue by administering Botox to relax the targeted muscles that contribute to teeth grinding. This treatment alleviates the persistent grinding and also diminishes the appearance of a jaw that has become enlarged due to ongoing clenching. The procedure typically lasts about 20 minutes, with effects enduring for 3 to 4 months.

Botox for Frown Lines

The initial purpose of Botox was to treat anti-wrinkle lines, and it continues to be one of its most sought-after uses today. Frown lines, which are also referred to as glabellar lines or ‘bunny lines’, are the vertical grooves located between the eyebrows, typically resembling the number 11.

These expression lines can become permanent static lines when the skin loses its capacity to rebound after frowning, resulting in an appearance that may seem angry or worried. As individuals age, their skin naturally loses elasticity due to the breakdown of collagen and elastin; however, factors such as sun exposure, smoking, an unhealthy diet, and a highly expressive face also play a role in the development of frown lines. The treatment for frown lines involves the precise application of Botox, which can relax the muscles responsible for frowning, thereby smoothing out the furrows and fostering a more cheerful, relaxed expression that diminishes the visibility of wrinkles.

Botox for Gummy Smile

A gummy smile is frequently the result of overly active elevator muscles in the upper lip, which excessively raise the lip when a person smiles or talks. This condition can lead to feelings of self-consciousness; however, it can be effectively treated with Botox.

Specialized injections by our experts at Instabeauty Aesthetics can temporarily relax the muscles that cause the lip to lift excessively, thereby reducing the visibility of a gummy smile. Results are generally noticeable within 3-5 days and can last for 3-4 months.

Botox for Forehead Lines

Botox is widely recognized for its effectiveness in addressing forehead lines. It is particularly successful in treating horizontal furrows (vertical lines) on the forehead, which can lead to dynamic wrinkles due to the repeated elevation of the eyebrows. Factors such as age, genetics, a highly expressive facial structure, sun exposure, and smoking influence the onset and depth of these lines. Botox functions by relaxing the frontalis muscle that causes forehead wrinkles, resulting in a smoother and more youthful look.
