A: Botox

Steven Wallach, MD

 Botox is best for the upper third of the face. This works best for frown lines of the upper brow area, and the middle furrow region between the eyebrows. This also works nicely on the crow's feet.  It is hard to tell from your photo because you hair covers most of it.

A: BOTOX works well to treat frown lines, forehead wrinkles and crow's feet.

Your forehead is covered with your hair, so It's hard to tell if you would benefit from a treatment in those areas. You don't seem to have visible crow's feet with smiling. The choice is between you and youe physician. I hope this is helpful. Best regards.

Although Botox has a lot more potential cosmetic complications, I do not see that you would benefit from any of them.  You have good... more

A: "Poor Man's" Botox

Michael A. Persky, MD

Hi Shasha, I do not see many lines or wrinkles on your face.  Botox is used to treat wrinkles as well as lift eyebrows, corners of the mouth, and improve the angle of the jaw. With your bangs covering your forehead which is the most common area of botox usage, save your money and keep smiling. By the way,... more

A: How many times is Botox needed for face injections

Ritu Saini, MD

Hi Shasha, Botox typically lasts 4-5 months so you would most likely need injections about 3 times per year for the glabella (area between your eyebrows), crows feet around your eyes and the forehead. Botox is also used in the lower face a lot especially around the mouth and in muscles near the jaw to help... more
