Very deep frown lines usually require both botox and a filler.
Very deep frown lines between the eyebrows usually require boto/Dysport ($300) and a filler such as Restylane/juvederm/or Radiesse($550-650). Permanent implants have also done great to give a permanent improvement for deep grooves and are easy to put in under local anesthesia for around $1500. Good Luck,

Botox and fillers for frown lines
I use Botox as the primary treatment for the frown line. i two weeks,once the muscles are not working but there is persistence of the lines, you can have some filler - whichever you like- injeceted for maximal improvement.
