Botox: Q&A
Ask a QuestionIs it Okay to Get Botox to Frown Lines Only and Not Forehead as Well?
I'm planning to get my frown lines treated. The dr who has been recommended to me by friends charges by each location and I only have money to pay for one location right now. I've heard people talk about getting their frown lines AND forehead treated. Or frown lines and outer brow treated to avoid the'spock' look. Would I be okay to have only the frown lines treated? Thanks for your advice.

Choosing the areas to undergo Botox injections
One option is to go to someone who charges by the unit rather than the area. This may help you achieve natural Botox results and have a more balanced look. Surgery90210

Re: Botox only for frown lines
In some patients, treating only the frown lines in the glabella area can raise the eyebrows extremely high (i.e. the Spock look). But this does not occur consistently with everyone.
However, many doctors do not charge exclusively by the area. In other words, the objective of the treatment should be to minimize the frown lines and achieve an overall cosmetically acceptable result. So if you are one of the individuals who is prone to developing the Spock look, then your doctor should...

Botox Okay for Frown Lines Only
If you have never had Botox, start by treating the frown lines. Treating both the frown lines and the forehead can sometimes be too much immobilization for someone who has never experienced Botox. In our office we do not charge per ‘area’ we charge per unit of Botox injected into a patient. Some patients require more or less than others depending on muscle strength. We generally use 20-25 units of Botox for the frown lines and 15-20 units for the forehead. ...

Botox can be used to treat the frown lines between the eyebrows as a solitary area
Usually there is no problem to treat only the "11", the vertical frown lines between the eyebrows. This can help smoothen the area and help lift the forehead.
In patients, though, whose forehead horizontal creases are significant, having botox in the upper forehead without the frown lines is often not suitable as it would lessen the forehead's ability to raise the eyebrows, and, as the lifting effect of the glabellar wouldn't be present, the eyebrow /...

Botox, Dysport and Xeomin Work Wonderfully for Frown Lines (Scowl lines, "Eleven Lines," Angry Lines)
In 1991, I was among the first physicians in the United States in any field to inject Botox for cosmetic reasons--eleven years before it received its official FDA approval for that purpose. At that time, and for more than a decade afterward, the primary esthetic indication for Botox treatment was for treating the Scowl Lines between the eyes, sometimes also referred to as the "Eleven" Lines, or Angry Lines, or Frown Lines. In fact, the initial official indication for the approval...

Botox for frown lines only? You bet!
Botox to the frown lines only is often the best way to go. That way, only your scowl is knocked out and you can avoid the boiled egg look where the brow is freakishly smooth and unanimated.
When I do the forehead or the crows feet, I try to just softed the creases, not know them out completely. It's nice to be able to raise your brows when someone says something that surprises you and it's nice to be able to smile with your eyes.

Love botox for the frown lines only!
I think botox for only the frown lines is a great idea- it can soften the lines between the brows and give you a nice brow lift. Later if you want to treat forehead lines then add the forehead when you do the frown lines (treat the brow depressors).

Frown lines and forehead are considered two separate treatment areas.
It is okay to get Botox injections for frown lines only and not treat the forehead. These are considered two separate treatment areas. If you have your frown lines injected, you will see an improvement in the lines between your eyebrows but still be able to move your forehead. This can be a very natural look.

Is it Okay to Get Botox to Frown Lines Only and Not Forehead as Well?
Of course. Botox can be used a little or more on many different areas or just one. It's up to you what lines and wrinkles you'd like to soften.
