What's the best treatment for Brow lines
Both Botox and Juvederm or Restylane can be used to treat frown lines between the brow. The usual way to proceed is to first treat with Botox to relax the muscles in the area. Sometimes, its necessary if the patient has deep furrows at rest, to follow up with the fillers. Usually one waits about a week to allow the Botox to achieve it's full effect.

Botox, Dysport, Juvederm and Restylane can be used for wrinkles between the eyebrows
Botox and Dysport relax the muscles that cause the wrinkling in the first place. They take minutes to perform and usually last 3-4 months before repeat treatments are needed. Juvederm and Restylane are hyaluronic acid filler substances which can be injected directly into the skin to fill in lines and folds. They are used in the wrinkles between the eyebrows for patients who have a deep crease, that is still present even when they are relaxing their muscles. Both Dysport and...

Botox vs. Restylane or Juvederm for glabellar folds / creases / wrinkles
The number one treatment, by far, for glabellar furrows, is Botox. These are mimetic lines, in other words, lines or wrinkles of the skin that are present from underlying contraction of muscles. Usually the muscles have been doing this for years before the wrinkles form. If the muscles are relaxed by Botox injections then the wrinkles start to fade. One might have to keep up with Botox and repeat before it's all worn off in 4 months, so that the skin maintains its smooth...

Botox and Juvederm to treat brow furrows
My preference is to start with Botox to paralyze the brow depressor muscles first. If there are still depressions between the brows after the Botox has taken effect, Juvederm is used to fill in the remaining depressions. While the Botox will last for 3-4 months, the Juvederm will stay for 9-12 months. Generally about 20 units of Botox are used for the brows and one syringe of Juvederm is plenty for the brow area.

BOTOX® Cosmetic prevents deepening of lines. Juvederm fills the existing line.
These products are great to use together. Botox will relax the muscle that was creating these creases and causing them to get deeper over time. 1 syringe of filler will immediately plump up the lines restoring you skin's natural volume. If you maintain your botox regularly every 4-5 months, you may never have to do filler to that area again.

Botox and Juvederm for 11's
Sometimes when the patients come for Botox their 11's are so deep they have already formed scars between the brows. The first step is to stop those two large muscles from continuing to pull down into this area. If one starts with filler and no Botox the filler typically resorbs sooner. Remember, Botox is preventative as well so should definitely be continued.
On first time patients, I recommend Botox first with a follow up visit approximately 2 weeks later. If...

Juvederm vs Botox for brow wrinkles
Treatment of the glabellar region of the forehead is the most common indication for Botox injections and is the best "first choice" as treatment in this area. In many patients these lines can be quite deep and remain prominent even at rest (called static lines). In this circumstance I will usually recommend that either Juvederm or Restylane be injected at the same time as Botox to give a quicker and much more significant improvement. Also, at any time after Botox injections if the...

Glabellar frown lines treatment
At the Toronto Dermatology Centre, we usually prefer to start with Botox treatments for the dynamic glabellar frown lines. Sometimes, a filler such as Juvederm can be used for deeper lines not responding to adequate Botox treatments

For forehead wrinkles use botox/dysport first
When it comes to treating lines across the forehead and between the brows I think that bottom or dysport should be used alone before doing anything further. Most of the time this will be all that you need. Some people will inject a filler if there is still a problem but be careful who you have do this as there is more risk involved and you want the injector to be very well trained.

Botox and Juvederm best used in combination
What you need depends on what is there! If there are no lines at rest, then Botox alone will prevent the development of glabellar wrinkles. However, if you didn't start using Botox soon enough, or if the glabella has not been relaxed consistently, actual wrinkles may have developed. Wrinkles are like scars in the skin. Constant movement in this area can cause areas of tissue loss, seen as furrows. I always recommend doing Botox first, to relax the area, then...

Botox and juvederm for brow wrinkles
I usually start with botox. It blocks muscle function ie the cause of the wrinkles. Deep lines sometimes will not totally resolve however, and a filler product such as juvederm is used to fill in the line. In the majority of cases, botox is all that is necessary. It will last 3-4 months with the first treatment.

Brow wrinkles
Brow wrinkles are often due to facial lines of animation. Activating the frontalis muscle causes the transvers brow lines. Usally botox or dysport are excellent products to de-activate the muscles an allow the lines to relax. Juvederm fills deep depressions and is not usually used to fill forehead lines.

Botox and Juvederm for brow wrinkles
The treatment of choice for this area is Botox. After 2 weeks or so, Juvederm can be added if you feel your correction is not sufficient. Most patients are so pleased with Botox that no filler is needed. The amount or either product used depends on the individual patient. There is no set formula!

Both Juvederm & Botox Useful For Glabellar Frown Lines
Both Juvederm (or Restylane) and Botox are useful in treating glabellar frown lines or wrinkles. They act differently and can be used together. Botox acts to paralyze the glabellar muscles which pull on the skin and are the cause of the wrinkles initially. Juvederm (or Restylane), on the other hand, are injected into the skin to fill out or plump up the wrinkles. The amounts depend upon the severity. All of these products are temporary and must be repeated after...

There is no big difference between these products.
There is no value in combining these products. For this reason your injecting physician is likely to only be working with one of these products for your treatment. From a clinical standpoint these products are interchangeable. Doctors typically prefer one product over another. This typically has to do with their comfort level using a particular product over a long period of time.

Botox usually best for frown lines
The wrinkles between the brows (frown lines) are usually caused by the activity of the underlying corrugator muscles. Since these lines are caused by activity of the muscles, Botox is usually very effective. In some cases, after one or two sessions of Botox, a filler can be used for additive benefit. In most patients, though, Botox is the primary treatment.

Botox and juvederm for wrinkles between the brows
It is recommended that you first receive botox or dysport to treat the frown lines between the eyebrows (known as the glabella region) as these are dynamic or movement wrinkles. If these lines are too deep for the botox or dysport to improve them alone, then I can follow up, once the botox takes complete effect, a few weeks later with a small amount of juvederm or another hyaluronic acid filler (restylane) to further improve the wrinkles. However, injector technique is...
