If gentle manipulation erases the offending wrinkle, Botox is your treatment

Shepherd Pryor, 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?

One quick trick to try is identify if you can delicate smooth out the wrinkles completely between your fingers.  If gentle pressure is all it takes Botox will provide complete correction.  Those individuals with deeper lines that cannot be gently cooerced into receding typically benefit from both Botox and filler.  Based on your description at this early stage you will likely find that a lovely response is obtained with Botox only.
