Frown Lines Still Visible After Botox

Frown lines can still be slightly visible after Botox. This is done to prevent that "frozen" look that can look unnatural. If you want a more aggressive treatment, please talk to your injector.

Botox requirements are different for different people. 40 units is usually a good amount for the glabella to prevent frown lines. It is important to remember that Botox works by paralyzing the underlying muscles to help prevent wrinkles of the overlying skin. Botox does not work on static wrinkles - that is, wrinkles that are present at rest. For these wrinkles, you may need dermal fillers to help "push out" the wrinkles. Over time, with continued use of Botox, the dermal atrophy causing static wrinkles will resolve to some extent and you will start to see some resolution of the static wrinkles as well. Good luck.

Hi grays,
As they say, not enough information.
There are many variables including dilution, time since dilution, placement, and strength of your frowning muscles. It is best to discuss with your injecting physician.
Next treatment, check out how you are doing at about 2 weeks after your injections, then if you are dissatisfied you can return to your injector for a touch up. Our office does the touch up for cost or about 5 to 6 dollars per unit.
Good luck and be well.
