Botox for Face Tightening?
I had very deep acne scars, but I had a few laser treatments to treat them and they have been diminished to a point where you can barely seem them. My aesthetician suggested that I take advantage of a Botox special that they are offering during February, but I am not sure if it's worth spending money at all for it. I am looking for something to tighten my forehead and upper face. Would Botox be beneficial to me in regards to a little bit of face tightening? Or is it strictly for wrinkles only?

Botox for tightening
Botox can tighten to the extent that it can relax muscles that oppose other muscles. For example, Botox in the muscles around the eyes will relax them, causing the lateral brow to go upward because the frontalis muscle still contracts, an apparent tightening effect. A bit of an indirect answer, but that is what is going on.

Botox can prevent wrinkles but doesn't "tighten" the skin
Botox works best on wrinkles. From your photo, I don't see any "loose" skin on your forehead and upper face. If you have wrinkles in those areas, Botox works extremely well. If you are looking for ways to "tighten" the skin, then you should be researching lasers like the BBL/Skin tight laser by Sciton and other skin tightening lasers. see video

Botox recommendation for skin tightening?
The short answer is no, it does not tighten skin. I would consider a new esthetician, He/she is way off and shouldn't be making that kind of recommendation. even if it is on special. good luck
