Restylane for glabellar and forehead lines?

Bryan K. Chen, MD answers: Effective to use Restalyne for between brows and forehead lines?

I have lines between my brows and on my forehead. I would like to use botox but due to several health issues i have this is contraindicated. Would it be ok/effective to use Restalyne between my brows and on my forehead?

A small volume of restylane can be applied to the frown lines (the vertical wrinkles between the eyebrows, sometimes referred to as the "11").  As Dr. Oppenheim mentioned, there are serious potential complications with injections of fillers to these frown lines but injection can be relatively safe if judiciously administered by a qualified practitioner - a physician in one of the cosmetic oriented specialties.   I would advise against any fillers for the horizontal forehead lines and stick to Botox for this location.  

Good luck.
