Not too sure if my frown lines are too severe and deep. How will I know if Botox will get rid of my frown lines?

Asked By:clarefromcali in Buena Vista, GA

I'm in my mid-40s & had Botox twice in the last 2 years. I have very deep frown lines that seem permanent in certain lighting yet are undetectable in certain/good lighting. With the Botox, these deep frown lines diminish almost completely. I'm confused why doctors say Botox won't work on deep static lines when clearly it helped with my stubborn deep, permanent ones. Maybe mine aren't as deep as I thought, being that they're undetectable sometimes. I do take good care of my skin. Please advise.
