Introduction
Neuromodulators are among the most effective non-surgical treatments for reducing dynamic wrinkles and creating a refreshed, natural appearance. By relaxing targeted facial muscles, these injections smooth expression lines and prevent deeper wrinkles from forming. Understanding common injection areas helps clients make informed decisions and ensures they receive results that look elegant—not frozen.
Below, we break down the top neuromodulator injection areas, what they treat, and how they transform the face.
1. Forehead Lines
Purpose: Softens horizontal lines caused by raising the eyebrows.
Benefits:
- Creates a smoother, more youthful forehead
- Prevents lines from deepening over time
- Maintains natural movement with proper dosing
Because the forehead is expressive, a balanced approach is essential for a natural result.
2. Glabellar Lines (“The 11s”)
These are the vertical lines between the eyebrows that appear during frowning or concentrating.
Benefits:
- Reduces harsh or “tired” expressions
- Softens the appearance of stress lines
- Often combined with forehead treatment for the best results
This is one of the most popular neuromodulator injection sites.
3. Crow’s Feet
Crow’s feet form around the outer eyes from smiling or squinting.
Benefits:
- Creates a brighter, more open eye area
- Smooths fine lines while maintaining expressive smiles
- Ideal for clients seeking subtle rejuvenation
4. Bunny Lines (Nose Wrinkles)
Small wrinkles form on the bridge of the nose when smiling.
Benefits:
- Smooths scrunched nose lines
- Enhances overall facial harmony
- Complements under-eye and cheek treatments
5. Lip Flip
A tiny amount of neuromodulator relaxes the upper lip, allowing more of the pink lip to show.
Benefits:
- Subtle lip enhancement without fillers
- Improves “gummy smile”
- Creates a youthful, balanced shape
Perfect for clients wanting definition rather than volume.
6. Masseter (Jawline Slimming)
Injecting neuromodulators into the masseter muscles reduces clenching and reshapes the lower face.
Benefits:
- Slimmer, V-shaped jawline
- Relief from jaw tension or TMJ issues
- A non-surgical alternative to facial contouring
7. Chin Dimples (Peau d’Orange Chin)
Small muscle contractions can cause a dimpled or textured chin surface.
Benefits:
- Smooths chin appearance
- Softens a “tense” or “puckered” look
- Enhances lower-face aesthetics
8. Neck Bands (Platysmal Bands)
Vertical neck bands can become more visible with age.
Benefits:
- Smooths neck appearance
- Creates a more refined profile
- Provides a subtle lifting effect
This treatment is ideal for clients seeking neck rejuvenation without surgery.
Why Injection Placement Matters
Precise placement ensures:
- Natural facial expression
- Balanced muscle relaxation
- Longer-lasting, predictable results
- Improved facial symmetry
A skilled injector evaluates muscle movement, skin quality, and aesthetic goals to determine ideal injection points and dosing.
