Dr Singh who runs his botox clinic in Stevenage, Hertfordshire in his latest blog writes about whether botox is the best choice of treatment for you.

We have many patients that visit us in Stevenage, Hertfordshire that are unhappy with the appearance of their face, whether it be fine lines and wrinkles or loss of volume. They want the problems fixed, but are unsure whether they need botox or fillers.

Normally botox is used for the upper third of the face. This is because since botox spreads, you don’t want it going into wrong muscles and since the muscles in the upper third of your face are large, there is less risk of this spreading.

Saying this, you can still use botox in the lower third of the face, for example such as; smokers lines, lift the corners of the mouth, neck area.

This is one part of the equation as to where you can use botox. The second part is how the lines are formed. Since botox works on stopping the muscles contracting, we are only interested with botox in lines that are caused by the muscles contracting. Therefore is lines appear or get worse when you are undertaking certain facial expressions, then botox could be a solution for you.

In summary, botox is used mainly in the upper third of the face and lines that are caused by muscle contractions (motion lines).
