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

Doctor's Answer

Hi,

Smile lines are also known as dynamic wrinkles that are caused by the over-activity of the muscles of facial expressions.

Depending on the location of smile lines and the underlying facial muscles that cause it, Botox may help to reduce its appearance. For example, crow’s feet are smile lines that may be greatly reduced by the Botox injection to the corners of the eyes.

A full assessment by your preferred aesthetic doctor will be the first step to take to determine if Botox will help. Creams and laser treatments are unlikely to help in this instance.

Hope this helps!
