Botox - Are these results as good as it gets?
I have a very deep crease on my forehead between my eyes so I had Botox injected there about one week ago. I have noticed that the crease is not as deep, however, I still have a noticeable crease line.
Are these the only results I can expect?
Editor's Note: See when will I notice the results of Botox? as this question relates.

Botox works on dynamic wrinkles (wrinkles that appear with movement of your face). Static or deep wrinkles will not be greatly affected by Botox. You likely need a dermal filler such as collagen or HA to fill the remaining depression. This is usually done in combination with Botox to achieve the best results.

After 1 - 2 weeks you'll be seeing the maximum results from your Botox treatment. If you still have a line, it won't go away. Think of your skin as a credit card that's been bent back and forth over and over from repeated muscle contractions. You can stop the muscles from contracting but once that line is etched in, you'll have to use other treatments besides Botox to further reduce the line. Options are skin resurfacing like a chemical peel and/or filling it in from beneath with an injectable filler like Restylane or Juvederm.
