Botox Vs Fillers for Minor Forehead Wrinkles?

I am 30 and have two very small wrinkles on my forehead when my face is relaxed. I'd prefer not to even have those.

I've heard Botox would help but I've also been told fillers instead? I'm confused. I would upload a picture but you really can't even see them in those.

Botox or Dysport

Those lines are getting etched in over time from repetitive movement of the frontalis muscle. A little neuromodulation with Botox or Dysport will do the trick, especially after 2-3 sessions. Be sure you get a little between the brows as well to prevent brow drop.

Botox for forehead lines

Botox stops movement and should be tried first. If your lines are still bothersome, filler can then be injected. Keeping up with your Botox injections will help the filler last longer.

Botox is definitely the best treatment

Botox is very effective for lines in the forehead and can require very few units to get the Desired effect therefore the cost can be very inexpensive. Filler, on the other hand, would be much more expensive and does not eradicate the lines that bother you wig animation and normally doesn't completely eradicate them at rest either.

Botox or fillers?

In general, I prefer Botox in the upper half of the face and fillers in the lower half because they are more effective in these areas.

Minor wrinkles respond to Botox and fillers

Botox will help keep the lines from deepening and will help a filler last longer in any area that a line forms as a result of skin crimping with muscle contraction.  If the lines are shallow and directly reinforced with muscle contraction, start with the botox injections and you may not even need a filler as your skin will grow in new collagen itself

Botox terrific for fine wrinkles

I recommend Botox for fine wrinkles in the forehead.  While Botox works best for dynamic wrinkles (wrinkles caused from movement), they can often soften fine wrinkles at rest.  Afterall, these fine lines are created from the muscles that make us wrinkle!  Botox will not address deep set wrinkles, but in my experience, they do soften fine lines at rest.  These fine lines can often be tricky to correct with fillers, so go with Botox first!

Botox for forehead wrinkles

I completely understand - at 34 I have a similar situation when it comes to my forehead.  I recommend a few courses of Botox first.   I think you'll really notice a difference.  I usually reserve filler in the forehead for very deeply etched lines. Dr. Cat Begovic M.D.

Botox works for forehead wrinkles.

Hi. If the wrinkles are so subtle, maybe you should leave them alone. But if you want treatment, Botox is certainly the first thing to try.

Forehead Wrinkles and Botox

Botox or Dysport are great fits for your wrinkles on your forehead. These lines are from your repetitive muscle movement. These two products can also be used for the wrinkles in between your eyebrows and around your eyes.

Botox or Dysport first

Neurotoxins such as Botox or Dysporst work wonderfully for forehead lines. However if these didnot correct the problem fully a hyluronic acid filler such as Juvederm or Prevelle will help the lines as well.
