Upper-Face Rejuvenation: The 4 Key Botox Injection Zones
As we age, repetitive facial movements lead to hyper-contracted muscles, resulting in dynamic wrinkles, sagging skin, and a tired appearance.
Botulinum toxin (Botox) injections provide a targeted, non-surgical solution to relax these specific muscles, soften lines, and restore structural balance to the face. In our clinic, a meticulous clinical assessment is performed to target precise muscle groups, delivering a refreshed, natural, and open look.
Below is a detailed breakdown of the specific anti-wrinkle injection zones offered at Cici Beauty.
Forehead Lines
- Target Muscle: Frontalis muscle.
- Mechanism: Relaxes the muscle responsible for lifting the brows, softening horizontal lines across the forehead.
- Goal: Reduces deep creases while maintaining sufficient muscle activity to avoid a heavy or drooping brow.
- Brow Lift Effect: Releasing these depressor muscles helps raise the head of the eyebrow, creating an open and relaxed expression.

Frown Lines (Glabellar Lines)
-
- Target Muscle: Corrugator and procerus muscles.
- Mechanism: Softens vertical "11" lines formed between the eyebrows when frowning or squinting.

Crow's Feet
- Target Muscle: Orbicularis oculi (outer portion).
- Mechanism: Relaxes the circular muscle around the eye to smooth fine lines radiating from the outer corners during laughter or smiling.
- Brow Lift Effect: Reducing the downward pull of the orbicularis muscle lifts the tail of the eyebrow, reducing the appearance of a drooping eyelid.
Bunny Lines
- Target Muscle: Nasalis muscle.
- Mechanism: Targets diagonal wrinkles on the sides of the upper nose that form when scrunching the nose or smiling broadly.
- Goal: Softens high-nose creasing without disrupting natural smile movement.
Upper Face Botox Combo (3 Areas) - Best Seller
Treating isolated areas can sometimes result in an unbalanced facial expression. The "3 Areas Combo" at Cici Beauty simultaneously targets the Forehead Lines, Frown Lines, and Crow's Feet to ensure harmonious muscle relaxation across the entire upper face.
By treating these interconnected muscle groups together, the results are more natural, preventing untreated muscles from overcompensating. This comprehensive approach is Cici Beauty's best-selling anti-wrinkle treatment in Hanoi for full upper-face rejuvenation.

Pre-Procedure Protocol & Contraindications
Following standard medical aesthetic protocols at Cici Beauty, proper preparation and screening are essential for safe treatment:
- Pre-procedure: Discontinue aspirin or blood-thinning medications 5 days before treatment to minimize bruising.
- Treatment Day: Arrive with clean skin and avoid applying makeup on the day of the session. Anesthetic cream is applied prior to injection for maximum comfort.
- Contraindications: Treatment is contraindicated during pregnancy, breastfeeding, in patients with neuromuscular pathologies (such as myasthenia gravis), or those with known hypersensitivity to botulinum toxin.

Post-Treatment Aftercare
Adhering to correct post-injection care prevents toxin diffusion to non-targeted muscles and ensures optimal results:
- Post-injection position: Remain upright for at least 4 hours after the procedure; avoid lying flat or bending over.
- Avoid localized pressure: Do not rub, massage, or touch the treated areas for 24 hours to prevent toxin migration.
- Activity restrictions: Avoid strenuous physical exercise, alcohol consumption, and heat exposure (saunas, hot showers, intense sun) for 24 hours.
- Facial treatments: Postpone facial massages, laser therapies, or skin peels for at least 2 weeks after treatment.
- Onset of results: Initial muscle relaxation is visible within 3 to 5 days, with full clinical results appearing at 10 to 14 days.
