Botox Can Be Combined With Other Cosmetic Procedures to Achieve Aesthetic Goals

Mark Berkowitz, MD answers: Why doesn't Botox work on my crows lines?

I have had five atempts at botox for the crows lines around my eyes, my brow and a very distinct lateral line above my nose (forehead area) but it does not seem to work. My crows feet were slightly lessened, by forehead wrinkles still wrinkled to a lesser amount but still noticable and the vertical line is still very prominent. I have been to two different doctors but the results are still very poor.

Why is this?

I agree with Dr. Shafer.  I would add that if you are not ready for surgery speak with your cosmetic surgeon about other less invasive procedures to help diminish these lines.  Besides wrinkle fillers, thermage and  fractional laser skin resurfacing  can help to further diminish these ocular wrinkles. As an Ocular Plastic Surgeon I use a combination of thermage and the Mixto laser in my Sterling Heights, Michigan medical Spa for this goal.
