5 ‘Overdone’ Anti-Wrinkle Treatments

Badly Done Botox

Botox is a popular cosmetic treatment used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. When done well, nobody need even know you’ve had it. However, when botulinum toxin is not injected correctly or if it is used excessively, it can lead to an unnatural appearance. Here are some common “overdone” Botox treatments and tips on how to avoid them:

5 Common Overdone Botox Treatments

1. Forehead Lines: When overdone, this can lead to a highly frozen, flat forehead without any natural movement or expression. Skin can look ‘waxy’.
2. Glabellar (Frown) Lines: Too much or incorrectly place Botox can lead to a completely smooth area between the eyebrows, often resulting in a surprised or expressionless look.
3. Crow’s Feet: Over-treating the delicate skin around the eyes can lead to a rigid appearance that makes the person look unnaturally wide-eyed and youthful. Overly smooth areas around the eyes may look “plastic.”
4. Bunny Lines: These dynamic lines can appear around the upper nose when smiling. It is often due to other areas are over-treated without full consideration of facial harmony. Find out more about bunny lines..
5. Neck: A flat, overly smooth neck can lead to a distorted appearance, especially if it seems inconsistent with the rest of the face.

General Tips for Avoiding Overdone Botox Treatments

1. Choose an Experienced Injector:
   • First and foremost, it is essential to find an experienced injector who has advanced training in cosmetic procedures as well as extensive track record.
   • Check for medical qualifications so that you know you’re in safe hands.
   • Ask to see before-and-after photos of previous patients.  An established injector should have plenty of case studies to demonstrate their work
2. Communicate Clearly:
   • Be upfront about your aesthetic goals. It’s fine to opt for a more conservative approach, especially if you’re new to anti-ageing treatments. If you want a natural look or want to retain some natural movement, it’s important to explain that to your practitioner, so that they know exactly what sort of results you are looking for.
3. Start Small:
   • Limit the number of units injected – you can always add more if you need to.
   • If you’re new to Botox, start with a smaller dosage to get accustomed to how it affects your face. You can always add more in future sessions.
4. Understand the Product:
   • Do some advance research and ask questions about the specific Botox techniques being used.
5. Consider Your Unique Facial Features:
   • Everyone’s face is different; a treatment that looks great on one person may not work for you. Ensure the injector considers your unique features.
6. Harmony and Balance
   • Trouble-shooting a specific facial area without considering the rest of the face can often look odd. It can accentuate the unnatural results while making other areas look comparatively older. It is better to take a holistic approach, viewing the face as a whole with a series of subtle enhancements.
7. Regular Follow-ups:
   • Take advantage of follow-up appointments as required. It’s generally preferable to make further adjustments as needed rather than attempting to achieve a dramatic transformation in one session.
