Which Three Areas of the Face are Best for Cosmetic Botox Treatment?
Botox is most commonly used to treat forehead lines, frown lines, and crow’s feet. These areas are the most popular because they show early signs of ageing and respond well to wrinkle-smoothing treatments, delivering natural-looking, refreshed results with minimal downtime.
When expertly administered, Botox smooths lines while maintaining facial expression, helping you look relaxed and rejuvenated. At my Wimbledon aesthetic clinic, these three areas are the most frequently treated for clients seeking subtle, effective facial rejuvenation.
Three popular facial areas for Botox at Dr Mohan’s Wimbledon aesthetic clinic are forehead, frown lines, and crow’s feet.
The Top 3 Areas for Botox (Detailed Overview)
1. Forehead Lines
Forehead Botox is one of the most popular treatments for men and women looking to reduce visible signs of ageing. These horizontal lines appear when we raise our eyebrows — a completely natural facial movement that, over time, creates lasting creases in the skin. These wrinkles can give the face a tired or aged appearance, even when you’re feeling your best.
When Botox is precisely injected into the frontalis muscle, it temporarily reduces the muscle’s ability to contract, allowing the skin to smooth out and reducing the depth of the lines. The result is a relaxed, more youthful-looking forehead — without looking frozen or stiff. In my Wimbledon Botox clinic, I take a conservative approach to forehead treatments, ensuring natural movement is maintained while still delivering a noticeable improvement.
Benefits of Botox for Forehead Lines:
- Smooths horizontal lines without freezing the face
- Restores a more youthful, rested appearance
- Quick treatment with no downtime
“I was nervous about looking 'frozen,' but Dr. Mohan reassured me and used just the right amount. My forehead looks smooth, but I still look like me. Highly recommend!”

2. Frown Lines (Glabellar Lines)
Often referred to as the “11s,” frown lines are the vertical wrinkles that form between the eyebrows when we frown or concentrate. Over time, these lines can become deeply etched into the skin and may give the impression of being stressed, angry, or tired — even when you feel relaxed and content.
Botox injections in the glabella region work by softening the action of the corrugator and procerus muscles. With the right dosing and placement, this treatment helps create a more open, approachable expression without altering your natural features.
At my clinic, I frequently treat frown lines for clients from Wimbledon, Raynes Park, Kingston and surrounding areas. It’s a straightforward treatment with minimal discomfort and visible results within a few days. Combined with forehead Botox, it can dramatically refresh the upper face.
Key Benefits
- Reduces the appearance of deep glabellar lines
- Provides a brow lift, leaving you feel refreshed.
- Creates a softer, more open facial expression
- Can be combined with forehead Botox for a complete upper-face refresh
“The frown lines between my eyebrows made me look cross all the time. After Botox with Dr. Mohan, I look fresher and people comment that I seem more relaxed.”

3. Crow’s Feet (Smile Lines)
Crow’s feet are the fine lines that fan out from the outer corners of the eyes. They’re typically caused by smiling, squinting, or even sun exposure — and while they’re often associated with happy expressions, they can become deeper.
Botox for crow’s feet gently relaxes the orbicularis oculi muscle, softening these lines without eliminating the warmth of your smile. This treatment is one of the most requested at my Wimbledon clinic and is ideal for clients who want to maintain their natural facial character while achieving a more rested, smooth-eyed appearance.
I find it particularly effective for clients in their 30s to 60s who want to restore freshness around the eyes without resorting to more invasive procedures. It also pairs beautifully with treatments like Profhilo or Polynucleotides for enhanced skin hydration and resilience in the delicate eye area.
Why Treat Crow’s Feet?
- Rejuvenates the eye area without affecting expression
- Reduces the appearance of tiredness
- Provides a brow lift
- Can be enhanced with Profhilo or Polynucleotides for skin quality
Why Are These Areas So Popular?
When people come to my Wimbledon clinic for the first time, they often ask,
“Where do I start?”
– And most of the time, the answer lies in the forehead, frown lines, and crow’s feet — because these are the areas that tend to show ageing first and most noticeably.
There are several reasons why these three Botox areas are consistently the most requested:
They Target the Most Expressive Parts of the Face
These muscles move every day — sometimes without us realising — and over time, that movement etches lines into the skin.
- Forehead lines develop from lifting the eyebrows (surprise, concentration, fatigue).
- Frown lines come from squinting or frowning (confusion, frustration, sunlight).
- Crow’s feet form around the eyes from years of smiling, squinting, or laughing.
Botox allows me to soften those lines while preserving the expressions that make you, you.
If you’re curious about how Botox actually works beneath the surface, I’ve written a detailed post on the science behind anti-wrinkle injections.
They Deliver Noticeable Yet Natural Results
When done correctly, Botox in these areas can make a transformative difference — not by changing your face, but by refreshing and relaxing it.
Clients often tell me things like:
“Everyone keeps saying I look well — but they can’t quite tell what’s changed.”
“I look like me… just after a really good holiday!”
That’s always my aim: to enhance what’s already there, not to alter it.
“I noticed the lines on my forehead were becoming permanent, even when I wasn’t frowning. Dr. Mohan explained everything and the results were better than I imagined — I still look like me, just more rested.”
Joanna MRaynes Park
They’re Ideal for First-Time Botox Clients
If you’re new to Botox, starting with these three areas is ideal because:
- They respond very well to small amounts of product
- Treatments are quick and virtually painless
- The results are predictable and build confidence
- It’s easy to make small adjustments at your follow-up appointment
When Is the Right Age to Start Botox?
If you’re wondering when to start Botox, the answer is: it depends on you. I regularly treat patients in their 30s and 40s, and both groups benefit in different ways. In your 30s, Botox is often used as a preventative treatment — softening expression lines before they settle into deeper wrinkles. In your 40s, it’s more about reversing visible signs of ageing while preserving your natural expression.
Whether you’re looking to prevent lines or refresh your appearance, Botox can be tailored to suit your skin, lifestyle, and goals. If you’re unsure where to begin, I cover this topic in more depth in my post: Is 40 the Right Age to Start Botox?
Quick Comparison Table
Botox Area | Typical Concern | Result | Popular With |
Forehead | Horizontal lines, tired appearance | Smoother, refreshed forehead | All ages, especially 30–50s |
Frown Lines | “Angry” or tense look | Softer, more relaxed expression | Professionals, new clients |
Crow’s Feet | Fine lines around the eyes | Brighter, more youthful eyes | Women 30+, also post-summer skin |
They Offer the Best “Return on Investment”
Botox in these zones requires small doses, is relatively quick, and the effects usually last 3–4 months. That’s a great return for what’s often just a 15–20 minute appointment.
Plus, by softening dynamic wrinkles early, you can prevent deeper lines from forming in the future — something I always explain during consultations.
Common areas to treat with Botox are: chin, jawline, neck, and more.
Other Common Areas to Treat with Botox
While forehead lines, frown lines, and crow’s feet are the most frequently treated areas in my clinic, Botox is incredibly versatile — and can be used in a number of other places to address both aesthetic and functional concerns.
Whether you’re looking to soften certain features, rebalance the face, or treat medical concerns like teeth grinding, there may be more options than you realise.
Here are some of the other areas I often treat with Botox:
- Bunny Lines
Fine wrinkles that form on the sides of the nose when smiling or scrunching the face. - Eyebrow Lift
A small dose above the brows can help lift and open the eye area, giving a refreshed look — great for those who want a subtle brow arch without fillers. - Chin (Mentalis)
Helps smooth a dimpled or “orange peel” texture on the chin, common in overactive chin muscles. - Jawline (Masseter Muscle)
Botox in the masseter can slim the jawline and also relieve teeth grinding (bruxism) — a treatment I offer regularly for both cosmetic and therapeutic reasons. - Neck (Platysmal Bands)
Reduces the appearance of vertical bands and softens neck lines — often called the “Nefertiti Lift.” - Gummy Smile
Helps relax the upper lip to reduce excessive gum show when smiling.

At-a-Glance: Additional Botox Areas
Treatment Area | Common Concern | Goal |
Bunny Lines | Wrinkling at nose sides | Smooth appearance when smiling |
Chin | Dimpling / uneven texture | Smoother, relaxed chin |
Masseter / Jawline | Wide jaw, teeth grinding | Slimmer profile, reduced tension |
Neck Bands | Vertical neck lines | Lifted, smoother neckline |
Gummy Smile | Excess gum show when smiling | Softer, more balanced smile |
“I had no idea Botox could help with teeth grinding — I noticed the difference after just one session, and my jaw feels so much better.”

Botox Frequently Asked Questions
How long does Botox last?
Botox typically lasts 3 to 4 months, depending on the individual, the area treated, and how your body metabolises the product. Some clients find their results last a little longer with regular maintenance treatments. During your consultation, I’ll give you a more tailored idea based on your treatment plan and goals.
Will I look frozen or unnatural?
Absolutely not — and this is one of the most common concerns I hear. My approach is always to enhance, not to freeze. The key is using precise placement and conservative dosing, so you maintain natural expression and movement. Most of my clients say their friends notice they look fresher, not different.
Is Botox painful?
Botox injections are very quick and generally well tolerated. I use an ultra-fine needle, and most clients describe the feeling as a small pinch. The procedure takes only a few minutes, and you can return to normal activities immediately afterwards.
When will I see the results?
Results usually begin to appear within 3 to 5 days, with full effects visible at around 10 to 14 days. I offer a complimentary follow-up appointment at two weeks to check the results and make any minor adjustments if needed.
Is there downtime after Botox?
There’s no real downtime. You might see a bit of redness or mild swelling around the injection points, which usually settles within an hour or so. I always recommend avoiding heavy exercise, heat, or pressure on the area for the rest of the day.
Can Botox prevent wrinkles from forming?
Yes — Botox doesn’t just smooth existing lines; it also prevents deeper wrinkles from forming by limiting the repetitive muscle movements that cause them. That’s why more and more clients in their 30s are starting treatment early for preventative benefits.
How do I know if Botox is right for me?
The best way to find out is to come in for a free consultation. I’ll assess your facial structure, listen to your concerns, and offer personalised advice. There’s absolutely no pressure to proceed — just honest, informed guidance to help you decide what feels right.
