The botox for lower face course at Harley Street Institute combines comprehensive online learning with practical training delivered as part of the Advanced Botox & Dermal Fillers course. This is not a standalone practical course — the online component provides in-depth theory and video demonstrations, while hands-on training is integrated within the advanced practical programme.
Lower face treatment requires understanding of muscle interactions, lip function preservation, and the delicate balance between aesthetic improvement and functional integrity. The course covers mentalis, DAO, platysma, perioral lines, gummy smile, lip flip, bunny lines, nose tip lifting, and the Nefertiti face lift.
Experienced practitioners recognise that lower face applications carry different risk profiles than upper face treatment. The margin for error is smaller, dosing must be conservative, and patient selection requires careful assessment of existing lip function and treatment expectations.

Botox for lower face refers to targeted botulinum toxin applications in the perioral region, chin, and lower facial muscles. These applications address concerns including perioral lines (smoker's lines), chin dimpling (peau d'orange), downturned mouth corners, gummy smile, and jawline definition through the Nefertiti lift.
The course covers key muscles: the orbicularis oris surrounding the lips, the mentalis creating chin dimpling, the depressor anguli oris (DAO) pulling down mouth corners, the platysma bands affecting neck and jawline appearance, and the levator labii superioris alaeque nasi for gummy smile.
Each lower face application requires specific anatomical knowledge and dosing considerations. Unlike upper face treatment where relatively standard protocols exist, lower face applications demand individualised assessment based on muscle strength, lip function, and patient-specific anatomy.
Indications covered:
- Mentalis treatment for chin dimpling (1-point and 2-point techniques)
- DAO injection for downturned mouth corners
- Platysma treatment and Nefertiti face lift technique
- Perioral lines / smoker's lines treatment
- Gummy smile correction and lip flip technique
- Bunny lines (nasalis) and nose tip lifting
