When most people think about anti-wrinkle injections, the forehead and frown lines usually come to mind. But these versatile treatments go far beyond the basics.
At our Woodford aesthetics clinic, clients are often surprised by the range of areas that can be subtly enhanced using anti-wrinkle injectables — from jawline slimming to treating chin dimpling.
This guide breaks down both the popular and lesser-known treatment areas, and if you're looking for a complete overview of anti-wrinkle treatments, check out our Ultimate Guide to Anti-Wrinkle Treatments so you can make a confident, informed decision tailored to your goals.
How Do Anti-Wrinkle Injectables Work?
Anti-wrinkle injectables, often made from botulinum toxin type A, work by relaxing specific facial muscles. When the muscles are no longer repeatedly contracting, the skin above them stays smooth — softening existing lines and helping prevent new ones.

Popular Anti-Wrinkle Injection Treatment Areas
These are the most common areas clients request, and for good reason — the results are often dramatic yet natural:
Forehead lines: Horizontal lines that form when we raise our eyebrows
Frown lines (glabellar lines): Vertical lines between the eyebrows
Crow’s feet: Fine lines around the outer corners of the eyes
These areas respond beautifully to anti-wrinkle injectables and can instantly refresh your appearance while maintaining your natural expressions.
Less Common but Effective Treatment Areas
Looking for subtle enhancements that make a big difference? Here are a few areas you might not have considered:
Eyebrow lift
Small doses can elevate the tail of the brow for a lifted, more refreshed appearance.
Gummy smile correction
Reduces the visibility of gum tissue when smiling, creating balanced proportions.
Chin dimpling (orange peel chin)
Smooths uneven skin texture caused by an overactive mentalis muscle.
Jawline slimming (masseter reduction)
Defines the lower face and relieves tension from clenching or grinding.
Neck bands (platysmal bands)
Reduces vertical neck lines, helping restore a youthful neckline.
Bunny lines (nose wrinkles)
Softens fine lines at the top of the nose that appear when scrunching or smiling.
Smoker’s lines (lip lines)
Targets vertical lines above the upper lip for a smoother, rejuvenated mouth area.

How Long Do Results Last?
For most areas, anti-wrinkle injection results last around 3 to 4 months, depending on your metabolism, lifestyle, and the strength of the muscles treated.
Certain areas — like the masseter (jawline) or neck bands — may last slightly longer due to the nature of the muscle.

FAQs: Anti-Wrinkle Injectables Treatment Areas
Which areas of the face can be treated with anti-wrinkle injections?
The most popular areas include the forehead, frown lines between the brows, and crow’s feet around the eyes. But that’s just the start — skilled injectors also treat the chin, jawline, neck bands, and even the small area above the lips. These targeted treatments can smooth lines and enhance facial balance without changing how you look.
Can anti-wrinkle injections lift eyebrows or mouth corners?
Yes, they can. With precise placement, anti-wrinkle injections can offer a subtle lift to the brows or help reduce the downward pull at the corners of the mouth — giving you a naturally refreshed appearance without surgery.
Can injections help with jawline slimming?
Absolutely. Injecting the masseter muscles (the ones used for chewing) can help slim a wider jawline, especially if you experience clenching or teeth grinding. It’s a popular choice for both aesthetic results and tension relief
Are anti-wrinkle injections effective for crow’s feet?
Yes — they’re one of the best treatments for softening crow’s feet. These fine lines around the eyes are often caused by years of smiling or squinting. A few tiny injections can smooth them out while keeping your smile natural and expressive.
Can they be used for chin dimpling and neck bands?
Yes, they work beautifully for both. Chin dimpling (often called "orange peel chin") and vertical neck bands can be softened with precise injections, improving texture, smoothness, and the overall contour of the lower face and neck.
