Botox in Chelsea: What Can It Do for My Lower Face?
Botox isn’t just for the forehead
Most people know Botox as a treatment for forehead lines or crow’s feet. But at Cosmetic Skin & Laser Center in Chelsea, more and more patients are asking, “Can Botox help my lower face too?” The answer is yes.
When carefully placed by an experienced injector, Botox can do much more than soften wrinkles—it can restore balance, ease tension, and rejuvenate the lower third of the face without downtime. For many of our Chelsea patients coming from Dexter, Grass Lake, Manchester, and Jackson, lower face Botox has become just as important as upper face treatments in achieving natural, refreshed results.
Neuromodulators in the Lower Face
Neuromodulators in the lower face are equally as important—and almost as common—as upper face treatments. Here are the four most common areas we treat at Cosmetic Skin & Laser Center Chelsea:
1. DAO (Depressor Anguli Oris) – Corners of the Mouth
This muscle pulls down on the corners of your mouth. Over time, it can leave you looking unhappy, even at rest—sometimes called “RBF.” A few precise units here relax the DAO and restore a naturally uplifted look.
2. Oris (Upper Lip) – Lines & Lip Flip
The orbicularis oris muscle contributes to vertical lip lines. Botox in this area smooths fine lines and can also create a lip flip—a subtle enhancement that gently rolls the upper lip outward for a fuller appearance without filler.
3. Mentalis (Chin) – Texture & Crease
An overactive mentalis muscle can cause dimpling or a deep chin crease. Botox smooths this area, improves texture, and restores balance in the lower face.
4. Masseter (Jawline) – Clenching, Headaches & Slimming
The masseter muscle is powerful—and often overactive. Botox here reduces clenching and grinding (a major cause of tension headaches) and slims the jawline for a more refined contour.
Why Lower Face Botox Requires Expertise
Lower face muscles are smaller and closer to areas that affect smile. That’s why injector skill matters most here. At CSLC Chelsea, our injectors have performed thousands of advanced Botox treatments, combining medical expertise with artistry for results that look natural, not “frozen.”
Combination Treatments for Best Results
Lower face Botox often works best as part of a comprehensive plan. Many Chelsea patients also combine:
- Fillers to restore volume around the mouth or cheeks
- Skin tightening treatments like RF microneedling
- Laser resurfacing to smooth lip lines and improve texture
- Hydrafacial or Signature Facials to refresh and hydrate skin
Real Patient Results in Chelsea
One of our Chelsea patients, Myranda, shared her experience:
“Kayla did an amazing job with my lip filler. I was so nervous and she eased my nerves and gave me exactly what I wanted. I couldn’t be happier!” – Myranda, CSLC Patient

The Nefertiti Neck Lift with Botox
Another advanced use of Botox in the lower face and neck is the Nefertiti Neck Lift. Named after the Egyptian queen known for her long, elegant neck, this treatment targets the platysma muscles along the jawline and neck.
With carefully placed Botox injections, the downward pull of the platysma is relaxed. The result? A smoother, more defined jawline and a subtly lifted appearance through the neck. For patients in Chelsea, the Nefertiti Neck Lift is a popular non-surgical option to address early jowling, sagging along the jawline, and neck banding—without the downtime of surgery.
Real Patient Transformation
One of our patients wanted a more youthful jawline but wasn’t ready for surgery. With just Botox and filler placed along the neck and jawline, we achieved subtle lift and definition. Her before-and-after photos below show how the Nefertiti Neck Lift can refresh the profile and restore confidence.
Many patients choose to combine the Nefertiti Neck Lift with fillers or skin tightening treatments for even more comprehensive results.
Lower Face Botox vs. Fillers: What’s the Difference?
Many Chelsea patients ask whether they need Botox, fillers, or both for lower face rejuvenation. While the treatments often complement each other, they work in very different ways:
Botox (Neuromodulators)
What it does: Relaxes overactive muscles to soften expression lines and rebalance facial movement.
Best for: Smoothing chin dimpling, lifting mouth corners, softening jaw tension, reducing lip lines, and slimming the jawline.
How long it lasts: About 3–4 months (masseter 4–6 months).
Fillers (Dermal Fillers like Restylane or Juvederm)
What they do: Restore lost volume, contour facial features, and smooth deeper creases by adding structure under the skin.
Best for: Filling nasolabial folds, restoring cheek support, enhancing lips, or defining the chin/jawline.
How long they last: 6–18 months depending on the filler and treatment area.
When used together, Botox and fillers create the most natural and balanced results. For example, Botox may lift the corners of the mouth while filler restores lost volume in the surrounding area. At CSLC Chelsea, we often design custom treatment plans that combine both for a refreshed look that still feels like you.

- A tired or tense jawline
- Chin dimpling or a deep crease
- Downturned corners of the mouth
- Lip lines or thinning lips
- Headaches from jaw clenching
- A square, heavier lower face shape
