Explore popular Botox injection sites with our complete diagram guide. Learn about forehead, eyebrow lift, and migraine treatment areas plus typical units needed.

Let’s be honest: Botox has come a long way from being whispered about in hush-hush tones. These days, it’s practically a rite of passage in the world of beauty and self-care. 

At Mind & Body Performance + Med Spa in Farmington, UT, we’re all about results that look natural, feel effortless, and let your best self shine. 

So if you're Botox-curious or simply wondering where the magic happens, here’s your no-nonsense, personality-packed guide to all the popular injection spots—and what to expect when the “freeze” hits just right.

🧠 The “Why” Behind Botox: Quick Recap

Before we start mapping out your face like a pro, let’s quickly hit the basics.

Botox is a neurotoxin (don’t freak out, it’s safe) that temporarily relaxes muscles. When injected into specific areas, it stops them from contracting, which in turn smooths out wrinkles, prevents new ones from forming, and in some cases, even relieves pain or tension.

Now let’s explore all the places this wonder-in-a-syringe can go.

🌟 The “Big 3”: Botox’s Most Popular Stops

1. Forehead Lines (aka “Horizontal Truth Tellers”)

Those deep lines that show up when you raise your eyebrows like you're surprised—yep, those are forehead lines. 

They’re one of the most common places people get Botox. It softens them without freezing your entire expression.

What to Expect:

  • Smoother, less pronounced lines
  • A more relaxed, youthful look
  • No more looking “tired” when you're wide awake

Pro Tip: Don’t go overboard here. Too much Botox can flatten your natural brow expression, and nobody wants to look like a mannequin.

2. Glabellar Lines (aka “The 11s”)

These are the vertical frown lines between your eyebrows. They're the “why do I look mad when I’m not mad?” lines.

What Botox Does:

  • Relaxes the muscles that pull your brows together
  • Softens your resting expression (you’ll look more approachable, promise)
  • Reduces the depth of the furrow

Fun Fact: This area is often combined with the forehead for a balanced, harmonious look.

3. Crow’s Feet (aka “Smiling Sidekicks”)

Those little lines that pop up around the corners of your eyes when you grin? We love what they say about a life full of laughter—but we also love options.

Botox Benefits:

  • Smooths fine lines while preserving your natural smile
  • Prevents deeper creases from setting in
  • Can subtly lift the outer corners of your eyes

4. Eyebrow Lift (aka “Micro-Brow Makeover”)

Looking for a mini eye lift without the scalpel? Botox can create a subtle arch by relaxing the muscles that pull the brow down, allowing the lift muscles to shine.

Best For:

  • Hooded eyelids
  • Tired-looking eyes
  • Soft, natural lift without drama

5. Bunny Lines (aka “Nose Wrinkles”)

Ever crinkle your nose and notice tiny diagonal lines forming? Those are bunny lines. They're harmless but can make the upper face look tense.

The Fix:

A few well-placed units on either side of the nose, and boom—smooth.

6. Lip Flip (aka “No-Filler Plump”)

This isn’t about volume; it’s about positioning. A small dose of Botox above the top lip can cause it to “flip” slightly upward, making it appear fuller.

Great For:

  • Subtle enhancement
  • Gummy smiles
  • People not quite ready for filler

7. Chin Dimpling (aka “Orange Peel Skin”)

When the mentalis muscle in your chin contracts too much, it creates a bumpy texture. Botox relaxes that muscle, giving the chin a smoother, more refined look.

Bonus: Also helps contour the lower face slightly.

8. Jawline Slimming (aka “The Nefertiti Touch”)

Got a strong jawline due to muscle bulk or clenching? Botox in the masseter muscles can slim the face over time and relieve tension.

Added Perks:

  • Can reduce teeth grinding (bruxism)

  • Helps with TMJ symptoms

  • Creates a V-line shape, especially popular in selfies

9. Neck Bands (aka “Tech Neck Fix”)

Look down at your phone enough, and those vertical neck lines start to stick. Botox can relax the platysmal bands in your neck, creating a smoother, more youthful contour.

💆‍♀️ Botox for Wellness: Not Just Skin Deep

At Mind & Body Performance + Med Spa, we’re big believers in beauty from the inside out. And yes, Botox goes deeper than you think.

🧠 Botox for Migraines

Botox is FDA-approved to treat chronic migraines. Injected into the forehead, temples, back of the head, and neck, it can reduce the frequency and intensity of attacks. Pretty powerful stuff.

😬 Botox for Excessive Sweating (Hyperhidrosis)

If you’re tired of sweating through shirts or avoiding social situations, Botox can help. Injected into areas like the underarms, palms, or feet, it blocks the nerve signals that trigger sweat glands. The result? Confidence restored.

⚖️ So… How Much Botox Do You Need?

Everyone’s different. It depends on your muscle strength, skin type, age, and goals. But here’s a rough cheat sheet:

Botox Units Table
Area Typical Units
Forehead10–20 units
Glabella (11s)15–25 units
Crow’s Feet10–15 per side
Bunny Lines5–10 units
Lip Flip4–6 units
Chin6–10 units
Jawline/Masseters20–50 units per side
Neck Bands25–50 units

Don’t stress over numbers—your provider at Mind & Body will create a plan that’s right for you.


⏳ How Long Does Botox Last?

  • Visible results usually kick in around Day 3–5, with full results by Day 10–14.
  • Effects last anywhere from 3–4 months (sometimes longer for newbies or lower-dosed areas).

Pro tip: Consistency pays off. Regular treatments can actually train your muscles to relax, meaning you might need less over time.
