“Today, Botox is no longer just about wrinkles,” says Dr. Mikhail Kordas, Chief Physician of Lux Medicus in Estonia and Finland.
According to him, botulinum toxin has become one of the most versatile procedures in aesthetic medicine: from the youth trend Baby Botox to the treatment of migraines.
New Botox Treatment Areas
Dr. Kordas emphasizes that in recent years the scope of Botox has expanded significantly:
- Forehead and glabella — the classic area where natural results matter most.
- Eye area — soft smoothing of crow’s feet.
- Lower face — muscle relaxation to correct heaviness and refine the contour.
- Trap Botox (neck and shoulders) — injections into the trapezius muscles to relieve tension and create an elegant neckline.
- Neck and platysma — reducing “neck bands” (Venus rings) and rejuvenating the décolleté
- Buttocks — reshaping by relaxing overactive muscles.
Modern Techniques: Dr. Kordas’ Approach
To keep facial expressions natural and results subtle, Dr. Kordas applies different techniques:
- Baby Botox — minimal doses in patients aged 20–30 to prevent the first expression lines.
- Microbotox — superficial micro-doses to improve skin texture, reduce oiliness and minimize pores.
- Combination protocols — Botox paired with fillers, threads, or devices for comprehensive anti-aging.
Medical Indications for Botox
“Botox is not only about aesthetics,” stresses Dr. Kordas.
Today, it is widely used in medical practice as well:
- Migraines. Injections reduce frequency and intensity of headaches.
- Hyperhidrosis. Effective for excessive sweating in underarms, palms, and feet.
- Bruxism. Relaxing the masseter muscles protects teeth and relieves tension.
- Facial asymmetry. Targeted injections help restore balance to expressions.
Botox for Men
According to Dr. Kordas, more and more men are choosing Botox.
“Male anatomy requires a very precise calculation of units. The goal is to preserve masculine features and natural expression while removing signs of fatigue,” he explains.
Prevention and Trends
Today, Baby Botox has become a real trend on TikTok and Instagram. Young patients aged 20–30 are increasingly opting for small doses of botulinum toxin to maintain fresh skin and natural facial expressions.
“The goal of a doctor is not to change a face, but to help it stay youthful longer. Minimal doses delay the formation of deep wrinkles while keeping the face alive and harmonious,” explains Dr. Kordas.
And, as he notes, this approach is popular not only with younger patients: more mature women and men are also choosing such “life-hack” protocols to extend youth without drastic changes.
Botulinum toxin therapy today means:
- new areas (forehead, neck, trapezius muscles, buttocks),
- new techniques (Baby Botox, Microbotox, combined protocols)
- medical indications (migraines, bruxism, hyperhidrosis, asymmetry),
- a tailored approach for men,
- prevention for patients aged 20–30.
“Botox remains one of the most in-demand procedures in aesthetic medicine, but the approach has become more refined and intelligent. As Chief Physician of Lux Medicus in Estonia and Finland, my goal is to ensure that every injection preserves naturalness, health, and facial harmony,” concludes Dr. Mikhail Kordas.
