Botulinum toxin for synkinesis can be used in combination with other forms of facial therapy. It reduces muscle activity and minimises synkinesis associated with overactive and uncoordinated muscles.
The most common injection areas for Botox for synkinesis are:
- Eye muscles (orbicularis)
- Neck ligaments (platysma)
- Chin dimples (mentalis)
Botulinum toxin for synkinesis can also be used to improve facial symmetry by reducing the activity of certain muscles on the normal side of the face, such as:
- Forehead
- Lower lip depressors (depressor anguli oris)
- Crow's feet (orbicularis)
