The method of injection correction of age-related changes in the face and neck is based on the use of the muscle relaxant effect of botulinum toxin type A.
Botulinum toxin therapy for age-related changes in the lower third of the face is a fairly common cosmetic procedure. To prevent the development of complications, the cosmetologist must perfectly master the procedure protocol, as well as know the anatomical features of the lower third of the face.
In this article on estet-portal.com read about the features of botulinum therapy in the correction of age-related changes in the lower third of the face: perioral and chin areas.
Correction of vertical mimic wrinkles in the perioral region
The development of vertical mimic ("purse-string") wrinkles in the periorbital region is associated with excessive activity of the orbicular muscle of the mouth (musculus orbicularis oris).
The introduction of botulinum toxin into the orbicular muscle of the mouth in order to smooth out vertical wrinkles must be carried out very superficially, departing from the red border of the lips by 0.5 – 1 see
It is necessary to use the dosage of the botulinum toxin preparation that meets the manufacturer's recommendations.
In order to obtain an additional effect, it is possible to inject a botulinum toxin preparation into the projection of the nasolabial furrow on each side. As a result, there is a weakening of the function of the group of lifting facial muscles and a partial flattening of the middle part of the face.

Botulinum toxin injections as a method of correcting "frowning mouth"
Some patients experience marked drooping of the corners of the mouth due to the action of the depressor anguli oris and musculus mentalis.
This contributes to the formation of the so-called "frown mouth". In order to correct this aesthetic defect, it is necessary to inject botulinum toxin into these muscles on both sides in order to achieve adequate relaxation.
When injecting botulinum toxin preparations into the periorbital area, the doctor must be aware of the risk of complications - paresis of the orbicular muscle of the mouth, followed by impaired articulation and the formation of asymmetry of the lips.
To prevent the development of the above complications, the specialist must fully follow the methodology for performing the botulinum therapy procedure.

Injection of botulinum toxin preparation into the chin area
In the submental area, botulinum toxin can be used to reduce the appearance of the mental sulcus.
Do not inject directly into the labio-chin sulcus, as this is fraught with the development of paresis of the muscle that lowers the lower lip (musculus depressor labii inferioris) and the circular muscle of the mouth (musculus orbicularis oris).
Botulinum toxin preparation is injected into the mental muscle (musculus mentalis). Insertion points: below the projection of the chin protrusion on both sides of the vertical line dividing it in half.

Chin in the form of "orange peel": features of botulinum therapy
Presence of "orange peel" in the chin area is a fairly common aesthetic defect.
In this case, injection of botulinum toxin preparations is indicated in combination with facial contouring – injection of hyaluronic acid fillers.
Thus, botulinum toxin therapy is an effective method for correcting age-related changes in the lower third of the face.
The cosmetologist must be well versed in the anatomy of this area and be fluent in the technique of injecting botulinum toxin preparations.
