Botox is great for dynamic wrinkles or to prevent static wrinkles

Sanjay Grover, MD answers: Do new wrinkles require dermal fillers or just Botox?

I am in my mid-30s and have just noticed some new wrinkles on my forehead as I tend to raise my eyebrows a lot. If they are new, slight wrinkles and not deep do you think I will need a filler or should Botox be enough?

Botox is wonderful for minimizing dynamic wrinkles that occur with muscle contraction.  If you don't have the wrinkles while at rest and not contracting any muscles, then it likely will work well.  There are instances when someone needs both Botox and a dermal filler, especially in the glabellar area between the eyebrows (the '11' sign) when these have become deep grooves.

Fillers do not work as well as Botox for forehead lines. I also recommend good skin care along with the use of Botox.

I would recommend you get your Botox done with a certified (facial) plastic surgeon or dermatologist.
