What Can Botox Treat Besides Forehead Lines? A Draper, Utah Guide to Crow's Feet, Frown Lines, and Lower-Face Lines

Updated October 2026

Botox is best known for smoothing forehead lines, but it can also soften crow's feet, the vertical frown lines between your brows, the scrunch lines on the sides of your nose, fine lines around the lips, a dimpled or "orange peel" chin, and corners of the mouth that pull downward. Each of these areas is driven by a different small muscle, so the right plan depends on which expressions are etching lines into your skin and how much movement you want to keep.

If your forehead already looks smooth but you still catch yourself looking tired, tense, or stern in photos, the cause is often somewhere else on your face. This guide walks through the areas people in Draper, Utah ask about most once they look beyond the forehead, what each one involves, and how to decide whether it is worth treating.

Why Do Expression Lines Show Up in So Many Different Places?

Every time you squint at the sun, concentrate on a screen, laugh, or purse your lips, small facial muscles contract and fold the skin above them. When you are younger, skin bounces back quickly. Over time, as collagen gradually declines, those folds start to linger after the expression is gone.

These are called dynamic lines because movement creates them. Neurotoxins like Botox work by temporarily relaxing the specific muscle responsible, which is why the treatment is so area-specific. Relaxing the forehead does nothing for crow's feet, and softening frown lines will not change lip lines. Each zone is its own conversation.

That is also why a thoughtful assessment matters more than a generic "full face" approach. The goal is to soften the expressions that make you look worn out or upset, while keeping the ones that make you look like yourself.

Which Areas Can Botox Treat Besides the Forehead?

The neurotoxin treatments at True Medical Spa, which include Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin, are used for forehead lines along with several other expression areas. Here is what each one involves.

Crow's Feet

Crow's feet are the fan of lines at the outer corners of the eyes that deepen when you smile or squint. In Draper, where bright sun and snow glare are part of life for much of the year, a lot of people squint more than they realize. Softening the muscle around the outer eye can make you look more rested without erasing the warmth of a real smile. If the eye area is your main focus, the eye-area treatment page explains how the spa approaches fine lines and fatigue around the eyes.

Frown Lines Between the Brows

These vertical "11" lines form from repeated frowning or concentrating. They are one of the most common reasons people try Botox, because frown lines can make you look irritated or stressed even when you feel perfectly calm.

Bunny Lines

Bunny lines are the diagonal creases on the sides of the nose that appear when you scrunch your face or laugh hard. Some people notice them more after treating frown lines, since the nose muscles can pick up some of the slack.

Lip Lines

Fine vertical lines above the upper lip can come from years of pursing, drinking through straws, sun exposure, or genetics. Very small, careful doses can soften these lines, although lip lines often respond best to a combined plan because they involve both movement and texture.

Chin Dimpling and Downturned Mouth Corners

A dimpled, pebbly chin texture is caused by an overactive chin muscle. A separate muscle can tug the corners of the mouth downward, creating a sad or tired resting expression. Both are listed among the areas the spa treats with neurotoxins.

What Does "FDA-Approved" Mean for These Areas?

According to the FDA-approved prescribing information for Botox Cosmetic, the product is approved for the temporary improvement of moderate to severe frown lines, crow's feet, forehead lines, and platysma bands of the neck in adults. Use in areas such as bunny lines, lip lines, the chin, and the mouth corners is considered off-label. Off-label use is common in aesthetic medicine, but it is something your provider should discuss openly with you, including the benefits, limits, and risks for that specific area.

What About a Lip Flip?

A lip flip is a related option that often comes up during lower-face conversations. According to the spa's injectables overview, a small amount of Botox relaxes the upper lip so it gently rolls outward, offering subtle lip enhancement without added filler. It does not add volume, so it is best for people who want a little more upper lip show rather than a fuller shape.

Who Usually Asks About These Areas, and Why?

Different people tend to arrive at the same treatment for very different reasons. A few patterns come up often.

Busy Working Professionals

Frown lines are a frequent concern for people who spend long days on video calls or in high-pressure roles. Seeing a furrowed brow on your own screen all day can make you look more stressed than you feel. The appeal here is practical: neurotoxin appointments typically take about 10 to 15 minutes, which fits into a lunch break.

Men

Many men are not interested in looking smoother. They want to stop looking angry or exhausted in meetings. Frown lines and crow's feet are usually the starting point, and the priority is keeping the brow natural and masculine rather than lifted or arched.

Women Noticing Lower-Face Changes

Lip lines, chin texture, and downturned mouth corners often become noticeable after the upper face is already managed. These areas call for especially conservative dosing because the muscles around the mouth help you speak, eat, and smile.

Gen Z and Younger Adults

Younger patients often ask about crow's feet or bunny lines that show up in close-up photos and video. In many cases, the most useful step at this stage is a consultation and good daily sun protection rather than treating every area at once.

Will It Look Natural, and What Are the Risks?

When dosing is matched to your muscles and goals, results generally look like a more rested version of you rather than a frozen one. Movement is softened, not removed.

All neurotoxin treatments carry some risk. According to Mayo Clinic's overview of Botox injections, possible side effects include pain, swelling, or bruising at the injection site, headache, and less commonly droopy eyelids, uneven eyebrows, or a crooked smile. The lower face is a more delicate area, so effects like a slightly uneven smile are part of why careful, conservative dosing matters. Mayo Clinic also notes that Botox is generally not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

What Should You Expect at Your Appointment?

Your visit starts with a discussion of the expressions that bother you, followed by a look at how your face moves when you smile, frown, and talk. Your injector will explain which areas make sense to treat and which ones might respond better to something else.

The injections themselves are quick. Afterward, the spa typically recommends avoiding heavy exercise, lying flat, or rubbing the treated area for several hours. Mayo Clinic notes that Botox usually begins working one to three days after treatment, with full results taking a week or more, and that effects generally last three to four months depending on the area. True Medical Spa recommends touch-ups every three to four months to maintain a smooth, refreshed look.

If deeper, etched-in lines remain even when your face is at rest, your provider may suggest combining a neurotoxin with a skin-focused treatment. The spa's wrinkles and fine lines page outlines options that address collagen and texture as well as movement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Botox treat crow's feet and frown lines in the same visit?

Yes. Many people treat both areas in one appointment. Your injector will assess how the muscles around your eyes and between your brows work together so the overall result stays balanced and natural.

Is Botox for lip lines or a dimpled chin safe?

These are off-label uses that are common in aesthetic practice. Because the mouth area affects speech and smiling, these areas call for small, careful doses and a provider who can explain the specific risks, such as temporary asymmetry.

How long does Botox last outside the forehead?

Results typically last several months. Mayo Clinic notes effects generally last three to four months depending on the area, and True Medical Spa recommends touch-ups every three to four months to maintain results.

Will people be able to tell I had Botox?

When it is done conservatively, most people simply look more rested. The aim is to soften the expressions that make you look tired or stressed while keeping your natural movement.

Is Botox the same as a lip flip?

A lip flip uses a small amount of Botox in the upper lip, so the product is the same. The goal is different: a lip flip encourages the lip to roll slightly outward, while treatments for lip lines aim to soften fine creases above the lip.

Your Face Has More Than One Story to Tell

Forehead lines get most of the attention, but the expressions that change how others read you often live around the eyes, between the brows, or near the mouth. Treating the right area, with the right dose, is what keeps results subtle and believable.
