Deep Glabellar Lines need Botox AND Filler

In my experience, deep glabellar lines that are present even if you are not frowning will likely need BOTH botox and fillers. The good news is that they work synergistically together-- botox helps make the filler last longer! Botox is much safer in this area-- it is FDA approved specifically for this indication. It is simple, easy, with minimum to no downtime. So I would suggest Botox first. Botox will address the "dynamic" aspect of the... more

Lines between the eyes. Botox vs. Juvederm

In this area, Botox is my first line of defense. We wait two weeks to see the effects and then follow with filler if needed.

Botox/Filler combo works

Botox first, then 2 weeks later the filler. This way you let the Botox take full effect, so that you may not need as much filler. Also it doesn't make much sense to do fillers alone because you are ignoring the muscles that created the lines in the first place.

Somewhat

Whether Juvederm would work in the glabellar area would depend on the depth of the lines. If they are superficial Juvederm will work. However, even in this circumstance, Botox will work better. It relaxes the muscles that cause these lines. Juvederm is usually used to complement the Botox injections rather than to replace them. If Juvederm is placed there be sure your injector is an experienced physician. If the injections are too deep, dire consequences may result. Such... more

I Have Deep Glabella Lines Between my Eyes. Juvedurm Work Without Botox.

Very hard to answer because you failed to post a photo. So my guess is not really because you are only addressing the depression in the dermis not the muscular action on the "11's". That is treated by the Botox injections. Seek in person opinions.

Deep glabella line

I usually start off with Botox and see how it works. If the line is still prominent, I may consider a filler like Juvaderm or Perlane. But this is used off-label.

Can Glabella wrinkles be treated Only with Juvederm Without Botox?

Regarding: "I Have Deep Glabella Lines Between my Eyes. Will Juvedurm Work Without Botox? " Juvederm FILLS the tissue void under wrinkles and lifts them while Botox weakens the muscles whose contractions cause the wrinkles. Placing Juvederm under the glabella wrinkles will smooth them somewhat but muscle contractions will squeeze it out like a fist squeezing a tube of tooth paste. That is why we combine the treatments; to weaken the muscle, smooth the wrinkle and prolong... more

Botox and Juvederm for Deep Glabella Lines

For deep glabella lines, i typically recommend BOTH Botox and a filler, either Juvederm or Radiesse, for best treatment outcome. Simply put, Botox will help relax the muscles that keep contracting, causing the wrinkle to form. Juvederm or Radiesse will fill and smooth out the "valley" of the deep skin wrinkle. The combination of both will give you a smoother look to the area, that lasts longer that each modality used separately

Juvederm for glabella

a filler such as Juvederm or Restylane can fill then lines between the eyebrows without Botox, but the Juvederm may last longer if Botox minimizes the muscle movement, and Botox is the treatment of choice before the fillers for this area. Care must be taken to not inject too much material of the filler because of risk of ulceration in this area.

Improvement will be more noticeable with both

There is a synergy of benefits with neuromodulation with Botox and Dysport (to relax the lines) and dermal fillers like Juvederm and Restylane (to replace lost or damaged collagen). Using both will make the filler work much better and longer. This has been proven in clinical studies. Good Luck.

Juvederm plus Botox for complete result on deep lines

The cause of the deep furrows that develop between the eyebrows is muscle hyperactivity, so the first logical step is usually Botox. Juvederm and other fillers help with lines that are 'etched" into the skin, so they are most often done with Botox for that specific area. Juvederm alone can help in some cases but it doesn't address the underlying problem completely.

Botox and Juvederm both help lines between your eyes

The deep lines between your eyes are most likely due to the action of muscles in your brow that contract when you frown. After years of making that expression you probably also have permanent winkles in that area even when your muscles are relaxed. To get to the root of the problem, your best bet is Botox (or its cousin Dysport). That will keep the muscles that are making the lines from making things worse. To fill in the lines that are left even when the... more

Deep glabellar lines

In most cases I would recommend both Botox and Juvederm for deep glabellar lines. The reasoning is that the lines are caused by hyperactivity of the muscle. Only Botox will address the muscle function. The Juvederm would then be used as a filling agent to address the dermal atrophy caused the the muscle action. I hope this is helpful. Good luck.
