Botox for the Face: Everything You Need to Know

Botox is one of the most popular and trusted non-surgical treatments in the Philippines for smoother, younger looking skin. In this guide, we’ll cover everything you need to know about Botox for the face—how it works, the benefits, aftercare tips, and answers to the most common questions.

What is Botox?

Botox is a cosmetic treatment that uses botulinum toxin to temporarily relax specific facial muscles. By limiting repeated muscle contractions, Botox smooths wrinkles and helps prevent new ones from forming.

It’s a go-to treatment for men and women who want to look refreshed, youthful, and natural—without surgery or long downtime.

How Botox Works on The Face

When injected into targeted areas, Botox blocks the nerve signals that cause muscles to contract. This softens existing wrinkles and prevents new ones from forming.

Most common areas treated with facial Botox:

• Forehead lines – smooth horizontal creases
• Crow’s feet – soften fine lines around the eyes
• Frown lines (glabellar lines) – reduces the “11s” between brows
• Bunny lines – smooth small wrinkles on the nose
• Jawline/Face slimming – relaxes masseter muscles for a slimmer contour 
• Eyebrow lift – create a more lifted, refreshed look
