Juvederm for deep wrinkles between the eyebrows

Juvederm can be used to correct deep frown lines (glabellar rhytids, elevens) between the brows.   I think it is even more effective to have Botox done first  and then 10 days later have Juvederm to correct any wrinkle that is left.   Because the brow is not repetitively contracting following Botox, the Juvederm should last longer.   The synergy between botox or dysport (neuromodulators) and fillers like juvederm, restylane, radiesse, or perlane allows better... more

Juvederm for wrinkles between eyebrows

Yes, in my experience, Juvederm works well for correction of the so-called the "elevens" This is particulary good when you combine it with Botox to relax the lines while the Juvederm fills them in.

Deep wrinkles between eyebrows

Thanks for the question. Juvederm can indeed be used to manage the deep wrinkles in the glabellar region. I would initially treat the area with a chemodenervation product such as Botox Cosmetic or Dyport, weakening the muscle groups and minimizing the wrinkle. Once this is accomplished, the injectable filler (Juvederm) can be used to manage any residual stigmata of wrinkling in this area. Additionally, the use of Botox in combination with the filler will prolong the effects of the... more

Juvederm v. Botox

Thank you for your question. In short, yes. Juvederm is FDA approved to treat any moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds. However, for certain lines Juvederm is not always the best option available. In our San Francisco Bay Area practice we commonly treat the deep wrinkles between the eyebrows with either Botox or a combination of Botox and Juvederm. Botox works by relaxing wrinkles caused by activity of underlying muscles, which is the case for wrinkles between the brows... more

Juvederm between the eyebrows

The flagella is the space between the eyebrows. Creases here can be dynamic - from muscle contraction, or static - etched into your skin. The dynamic component contributes more, so the best way to treat the lines is with botox. If botox stops the movement but does not get rid of the lines, then Juvederm is very effective.

Can Juvederm Be Used for Deep Wrinkles Between Eyebrows?

The best solution for deep wrinkles between eyebrows is neuromodulators (Botox or Dysport).  Once that's done, wait a few weeks and see if the result is what you want.  If some of the wrinkle still persists then you can use injectable fillers (juvederm, restylane, perlane, etc.), however, the risks of complications in that area is higher so make sure you're going to an experienced injector.

Juvederm and Botox are a good team

For eyebrow wrinkles. Botox relaxes the muscle that is the cause of the wrinkles. Juvederm fills the wrinkle.   Best,  Dr. Robert Kasten

Juvederm and Botox can be used for wrinkles between the eyebrows.

Both Botox and Juvederm are used in situations where a patient has deep wrinkles. Botox works by temporarily weakening the muscles that cause you to frown. These muscles are actually the culprits of causing the wrinkles. The Juvederm, in addition to the Botox, is a good option because Juvederm is a "filler," meaning it fills the void that is beneath the wrinkle.

Juvederm is sometimes useful for lines between the eyebrows.

Nine out of 10 times the best approach for deep lines between the eyebrows is either Botox or Dysport.  Both act to relax the muscle action that causes the wrinkle.  In that 10th individual the first best approach is still Botox or Dysport.  I will treat the overactive muscle, wait 2 weeks and reassess.  If the deep lines are still present  then it is time for filler. Judicious use of the hyaluronic fillers works beautifully and lasts up to a year.  This... more

A combination of Botox and Juvederm is Best for Deep Glabellar Lines

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 lines-- the fact that hyperactive... more

Botox is best first choice for forehead "11s", but Juvederm can be used.

Botox will relax the muscles causing the wrinkles. If a week goes by and the "11s" are still quite prominent, despite botox,  judicious use of juvederm can be considered. Overuse though could create a lump, or even reduce the blood supply to the skin of the forehead.

Juvederm between eyebrows-- with caution

Glabellar furrows (the lines between the eyebrows) are best treated with toxins. Filler can be cautiously used in the area, but make sure you go to someone who is trained in the procedure, as you can get serious side effects (such as skin necrosis) by improperly using Juvederm in this area. Good luck, Dr. Rupani

Juvederm can be used for vertical lines between brows--but after Botox

The vertical lines between the eyebrows (the "11's") are best treated with Botox or Dysport. These wrinkles are form when your brow muscles contract together, so by weakening these muscles with Botox you can prevent/correct the wrinkles. In cases where the wrinkle is very deep or "etched in", Botox may not be enough for complete correction. In these cases, a filler such as Juvederm may be used to plump up the deep wrinkle. Hope this helps! Dr. Yalamanchili more

Filler and/or Botox injections for the vertical lines between the eyebrows ( the " eleven" )

Botox injections are the most common way of treating the glabellar vertical lines of the forehead between the eyebrows as this minimizes muscle movement so the skin stops creasing together. The fillers can be used in addition if the crease is stubborn. It is safer to use Juvederm Ultra or Restylane in this location and not advisable to use Juvederm Ultra Plus or Perlane as these two fillers are too thick for this area and the risk of necrosis (ulceration of the skin) increases. Some way... more

Frown lines

Frown lines,vertical and transverse lines are caused mostly by the action of the muscles undeneath. They can be softed and improved with BOTOX. in very well established lines, the will improve with the combination of BOTOX and Restylane.

Juvederm can be used to fill static wrinkles between eyebrows

Static wrinkles are those that are present when the face is completely relaxed.  Those wrinkles will not be affected by Botox very much. Juvederm works very well in this case. However, hyaluronic acid dermal fillers in combination with Botox are superior to hyaluronic acid fillers alone in the glabella, as the action of Botox gives a longer life to the injected filler.

Treating 11's with filler- Be careful

Treating the vertical wrinkles between the brows is normally done with Dysport/Botox and is very effective.  Using these alone will eventually eliminate the wrinkles entirely, however, eventually is longer in some patients than in others.  If you are one of those patients that gets better but still has the 11's than filler is a good option.  What you need to know is that this is one of those areas that is best treated by a trained physician.  A poor result is... more

Best Treatment for Deep Wrinkles Between Eyebrows

The area between the eyebrows is called the glabella and the wrinkles seen it are a result of the actions of three muscles of facial expression; the Procerus and the Corrugator Supercilli. Such wrinkles can be smoothed by weakening these muscles with Botox. If the smoothing is not sufficient, Restylane or Juvederm may be placed additionally to elevate the creased skin. Dr. Peter Aldea

Fillers in glabella

Usually I use dysport or Botox for glabella furrows but on occasion I use a filler for recalcitrant deep lines.

Botox or Dysport better for between eyebrows

The cause of the wrinkles between the eyebrows is overactivity of the muscles that cause the skin the fold and give the scowl or concerned appearance. For that reason, the first line treatment is usually relaxing the muscles with Botox or dysport. Fillers (such as Juvederm) alone do not work as well, but may be useful in addition, when the wrinkles have been there long enough to be "etched" in..

Juvederm for deep glabella wrinkles.

Juvederm and other fillers like Radiesse and Perlane can be used for deep wrinkles between the eyebrows or glabella region. For best, lasting results, use Juvederm or other filler in combination with Botox which relaxes the muscles that continually contract to cause the wrinkles. Typically I inject Botox first and inject the filler approximately 2 weeks later.

Jes, juvederm can and is used in the glabellar area

I feel that the use of fillers in the glabellar area is superior to the use of botox and prefer to use this and sometimes both.

Juvederm

Although Juvederm is often used between the eyebrows (glabella area), it is not what I typically recommend. There is a risk of necrosis in this area from fillers. Botox is a much better first choice for this area.

Juvederm for frown lines

Juvederm or any fillers can be used for frown lines but they are not my first choice. Botulinum toxin is superior despite the fact that it needs to be repeated more often.
