Can You Achieve a Lifting Effect?

Hello, this is the director of Sio Clinic.

​

Today, we will delve into a topic that many people are surprisingly unaware of:

'The Hidden Lifting Effect of Botox.'

​

​

The reasons for facial sagging as we age

are diverse and complex.

​

Fat distribution changes,

the supporting ligaments that hold the skin

weaken, and overall skin elasticity noticeably decreases.

​

However, among these numerous causes, one factor is often overlooked yet has a decisive impact.

It is excessive tension in the 'muscles' of our face and neck.

Among these is a muscle called the 'platysma,' which broadly connects the jawline to the neck.

This muscle plays a crucial role in the sagging of the mouth corners and the aging process of the lower face.

​

​

When the tension in this platysma, shown in pink and spread widely,

increases, the downward pulling force on the face becomes immensely strong.

​

Consequently, the mouth corners appear to droop more severely,

the sharp jawline becomes dull and blurred,

and it becomes a primary cause of deep shadows, like a mental burden.

In severe cases, it can also form vertical neck bands.

​

​

If platysma Botox is applied correctly to the right location,

the downward pulling force naturally weakens,

allowing the upward lifting force to become more prominent.

​

​

As a result, you can experience a feeling of the entire face being

tightened and lifted, though you might not know exactly why.

​

​

Let's examine a relevant research paper together.

This clinical study thoroughly compared and analyzed the satisfaction and effectiveness after treatment in groups of 381 patients who received direct Botox injections versus those who received a placebo.

Key Points and Clinical Results

Anatomical Injection Site

The platysma's motor nerves are concentrated in the upper part, so instead of injecting the entire neck, targeted injections are administered to the jawline and the vertical neck bands.

Aesthetic Improvement

Reduced downward pull leads to a clearer jawline and smoother vertical neck bands.

Safety Profile

None of the major side effects associated with lower face Botox, such as difficulty swallowing or voice changes, were reported.

​

As seen in this clinical data,

reducing the downward pull sharpens the jawline instantly,

and the bothersome vertical bands also improve noticeably.

​

​

Of course, it would be an outright lie

to claim that Botox alone can completely eliminate

a severely sagging double chin.

​

However, a procedure that refines the overall contour of elasticity

in this manner is an excellent option.

​

This is not all.

The platysma is not the only muscle that causes sagging and aging in the lower face.

​

Another key player is the

'depressor anguli oris' muscle.

​

As its name suggests,

this muscle pulls the corners of our mouth downward.

If the tension in this area is excessively high,

it can make marionette lines much deeper and more pronounced,

whether you are smiling or at rest.

​

Therefore, when precisely improving the lower face area

with Botox, a combination approach like the following

is highly effective:

​

​

Platysma Botox

Reduces downward pull towards the chin and neck

for jawline contouring

​

Depressor Anguli Oris Botox

Prevents drooping mouth corners

and softens marionette lines

​

Chin Botox

Gently relaxes chin muscle tension

for a relaxed impression

​

​

When small, customized amounts are administered simultaneously across these various areas,

you can achieve a natural lower face lifting effect

with a more relaxed overall impression.

​

Many people already manage wrinkles in the upper face, such as the forehead, glabella, and eye areas, with regular Botox treatments.

​

However, for the mid-face or lower face areas,

people often feel a certain barrier to entry.

​

​

However, lower face Botox is an excellent introductory treatment

that offers a light and smart approach

before embarking on more intensive lifting procedures.

​

​

Furthermore, even for those who are consistently receiving

various laser lifting treatments like Ultherapy, InMode, or Thermage,

​

combining these targeted muscle Botox treatments

as an 'alpha plus' can lead to significantly amplified synergy

and longer-lasting elasticity effects.

The popular Botox procedure is not limited to simply smoothing wrinkles;

​

depending on how it is designed and applied,

it can become an excellent anti-aging lifting solution.

Most importantly, it offers excellent cost-effectiveness

and satisfaction relative to time and expense.

​

Considering the various points explained in detail today,

instead of complex and burdensome methods,

​

through smart muscle control methods,

we sincerely hope you can lightly and refreshingly regain

your sagging jawline and tired mouth corner elasticity.
