Michael A. Persky, MD answers: How many times do I need Botox for my face?

Which part of my face needs Botox in your opinion?

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, hair "bangs" are also known as "poor man's Botox".

Good luck and be well.

A: I don't see any areas Botox would work for you

You don't have any wrinkles which Botox would help from looking at your photo but you can benefit from a filler under your eyes if you wanted to do something.  Restylane or Juvederm  may help in this area.
