A: Botox can help

Ronald Shelton, MD

Botox can certainly help reduce the frown lines between the eyebrows, despite someone’s age.

A small dose can be used right under the lower... more

Usually, Botox, by relaxing the muscles, will give you a good result. However, it will not remove any lines. To improve actual lines you will probably have to combine Botox with a filler or do a resurfacing procedure after Botox.

A: BOTOX is excellent for frown lines.

You should see improvement in your frown lines for  around 4 months after your office-injection. Botox is also excellent for forehead lines, and crow's feet. Botox does not work well for crepe under-eye skin. I hope this helps, and best regards.

Hi BP, Botox works very well on the glabellar "frown" lines of men and women aged 55.
