Botox is most known for relaxing wrinkles. But Botox can do much more than just erase fine lines. In fact, the list of Botox uses is growing every year.
## Mimic a Face Lift
Botox doesn’t just reduce wrinkles. It can also give you a temporary facelift. Botox in the jaw or cheeks can give you a mini facelift as well as relax the wrinkles on your face.
## Create a Slimmer Face
If you grind your teeth or clench your jaw, your jaw muscle grows. This can give you a squarer face. Injecting Botox into your jaw muscle can relax this muscle and shrink the muscle over time. This gives you a slimmer face and a more defined chin.
## Treating Acne
In recent years, Botox is being used to treat skin concerns, not just the muscles that cause wrinkles. In small doses injected into the skin, Botox can reduce oil production and decrease breakouts. Botox might not be your first treatment for Botox, but if other treatments haven’t been making a difference, you may consider this treatment option. 
## Lift Your Lips
You don’t have to get surgery to have a fuller lip. A small dose of Botox injected into the upper lip can give you a fuller lip. When the muscle in your upper lip relaxes, your lip curls out and up, giving you a lip lift. This gives you a more subtle look than a dermal filler, and the results last for three to six months.
## Smooth Your Neck
As we age, neck muscles may start to enlarge. They can protrude or give the neck a bulky appearance. Botox injected into the muscles in the neck can relax these muscles. It can smooth the neck and give you younger-looking skin. Botox injected into the muscles in your neck can also mimic a facelift. When the neck muscles relax, they stop pulling down on the rest of the face. For example, the corners of your mouth may lift more after you’ve had Botox in your neck.
## Prevent Migraines
Do you have frequent migraines? If you experience frequent headache pain that doesn’t go away, Botox could be the solution. Botox injections in the temples and on the head can calm migraine pain. Botox relaxes the muscles and reduces pain so that you can get back to enjoying life without migraines.
## Make Blowouts Last
Botox can even make your blowout last longer! If you’ve had Botox injected in your forehead, you won’t sweat as much around your hairline. This can make your blowout last longer. Injecting Botox in the scalp and at the hairline can also help that hair stay voluminous. However, injecting too much Botox in the forehead can lead to heavy eyelids, so it’s important to work with a skilled injector if you’re getting Botox for blowouts.
