What causes smile lines, and how can they be prevented?

Smile lines/ laugh lines - or medically known as nasolabial folds (NLF) - are slightly curved, downwards sloping lines that extend from the sides of the nose down to the corners of the mouth. It is a natural occurrence, even in the very young, and usually worsens as we age. The anatomical basis for NLF is due to the attachments of our cheek facial muscles to the corners of the mouth, which enables us to smile - thus the colloquial name of smile lines. To prevent it totally is near impossible, unless one can stop smiling or do any facial movements that move the corners of the mouth upwards.

For masseter Botox injection to achieve jaw slimming, is it more effective to get 20 units divided over 3 injection points or 20 units in a single injection point?

How each doctor performs injectables such as Botox (botulinum toxin) and fillers differ slightly, and it depends on the patient factors as well as the doctor's experience. For jaw muscle relaxation to achieve facial slimming, there are a few variable patient factors: the size of the muscle, the current facial shape, the desired end result, any concurrent issues such as bruxism (teeth grinding), as well as previous treatment results. Generally the larger the muscle, the more Botox is needed, and the more points of injection for the Botox to diffuse over the larger muscle.

What are the treatment options for chickenpox scars? (photo)

Chickenpox scars result when the wound healing process produces insufficient collagen and skin connective tissues to compensate for the tissue loss from the inflammatory process. Most often than not, the end result is a an atrophic scar of the boxcar variety, whereby the flat-bottom depression is sharply demarcated from the surrounding skin by vertical edges. This scar can be shallow or deep, and variable in size (usually 1. 5 - 4mm).
