Permanent Worry Lines. Will Botox Help This?
It depends where these "worry lines" are. If they are the frown lines, then they will usually help. If they have been there for a long time, fillers may be necessary as well. The best thing to do is see a qualified physician to assess your condition and offer a solution.

DoesBotox help for permanent wrinkles ?
Hello and thank you for the question.
In regards to your question, there are two classifications of wrinkles or rhytids. Dynamic rhytids, which are present when you animate, and static rhytids, which are present all the time. Botox Cosmetic, Dysport, and similar chemodenervation products work best on managing and ameliorating dynamic rhytids. The use of chemodenervation products on static rhytids will have some effect, in that the progression of the rhytid may be slowed by its use...

Botox and Juvederm for Worry Lines
It will help with worry lines and certainly keep them from getting worse over time. Probably won't completely remove them and you may also need some filler work i.e. juvederm.

Botox is FDA approved for "worry lines"
Botox cosmetic is not only an excellent treatment for worry lines, that's what it is FDA approved for. Botox relaxes the corrugator and procerus muscles (the ones that pull your eyebrows together and down) which cause what are described as the "11s" between your eyebrows. Treatments generally last 3-4 months.

Botox for permanent worry lines
By "worry lines" I assume you mean "frown lines" or "elevens" which are located between the eyebrows due to repetitive contraction of a muscle called the corrugator muscle. Botox can significantly improve if not eliminate these wrinkles. In patients with very deep "worry lines" Botox alone may not be enough to completely eliminate them. You may also need injection of a filler like Juvederm, Restylane or Radiesse following Botox...

Botox for permanent worry lines
There are two categories of wrinkles: "dynamic" wrinkles - ones that happen when you make the muscles activate; and "static" wrinkles - ones that are there all the time, even when your face is relaxed.
It sounds like you have some static wrinkles. These usually need some sort of filler (or surgery) to improve them. Botox, by itself, would only block the muscle contraction effect....so they wouldn't get worse with facial expressions - which is only

Will botox make my permanent worry lines dissapear?
Regarding: "Permanent Worry Lines. Will Botox Help This? Will botox make my permanent worry lines dissapear?"
I am assuming you are referring to the horizontal forehead lines. Botox weakens the muscles it is placed in. The effect lasts 3 to 5 months (depending on the dose, the way it was placed and the thickness of the muscles). If the wrinkles are not present at rest, they will be largely smoothed away. If on the other hand the wrinkles are permanent and are present...

Permanent lines and Botox
Generally the lines you see absent of motion are improved with Botox, but not completely resolved. It will definetly keep surrounding lines from getting worse. I have to laugh at the physician who used the same example that I use daily about wrinkles in smoothed out paper--they are improved, but always present. Botox is a fantastic product, I have personally used it for years and strongly recommend it to anyone who wants to appear fresher and less angry. (and we all want that!!)

Botox for Permanent Worry Lines
Botox is used cosmetically to relax or paralyze muscles of the face that cause wrinkles, usually on the upper 1/3 of the face. If the lines are present even without the muscle contracting, Botox may lead to some improvement, but it will mainly stop the wrinkles or lines from worsening. Other methods could be used to correct the remaining lines after Botox has been used.

Will Botox keep you from wearing your worries on your face?
No more worries...or worry lines anyway....if you are referring to the deep lines that can form between the brows from worrying or scowling, then Botox can surely help improve and relax these lines but it may not eliminate them. Think of the skin like paper and if you repeatedly fold or bend it, it will get creased and we can't un-crease it. For maximum improvement, some of our patients need some additional help with fillers and possibly even laser procedures to help...

Botox can soften lines of animation especially what you are calling worry lines which I assume are frown lines.

Botox will improve worry lines.
Botox has only one function: to temporarily paralyse the muscle its injected into. If that muscle is creasing the skin, then the creasing can't happen for 3 - 5 months and during that time the crease will soften or smooth somewhat. If the crease is too deep, then some form of volume/ filler must be added to deminish the depth of the crease. I tell my patients, that if they have creases / folds in their skin when they are not actively using their muscles beneath that...

Worry lines can "heal" with Botox
The deeper the "worry line", which is a crease in the skin from repeated "folding", the longer it takes the skin to repair. If you look at a wrinkle caused by muscles "folding" the skin, it looks like a scar, which can start to "heal" if the "folding" is weakened by Botox. As we mature, the skin thins out and loses elasticity, (the ability to "snap back" after being folded), and this causes the wrinkles to appear with age. If the...

Botox for facial lines
Botox will certainly help with these lines. While patients will differ based on their skin characteristics (elasticity, etc.), you should expect these wrinkles to improve considerably. In some patients, they can essentially disappear; keep in mind that Botox is temporary.

Permanent worry lines and botox
Deep lines have been caused by many years of muscle contraction and possibly sundamage, smoking, poor nutrition, etc. The largest component of causes may be the muscle contraction. The lines may take many months of muscle immobility to fade away. That means that botox injections need to be done every three to four months to not allow awakening of muscle motion. This may not be fully possible if some of the muscles that contribute to the worry lines are being used by your face to help hold up...

Botox works best on wrinkles/lines caused by muscle action if there also is fairly good skin elasticity.
As most of the comments state, Botox will help, perhaps better and better as you keep using it every 3-5 months. This is especially true if you still have relatively good skin elasticity. If the skin elasticity isn't so good then you may also benefit from appropriate fillers and/or laser fractional treatments.

Botox for worry lines
I assume you are talking about frown lines caused by muscular activity.
The larger and stronger those muscles are, the larger the dose of Botox necessary to subdue those muscles will be. Even so, some wrinkles will not go away and you may need Hyaluronic acid fillers Prevelle, Restylane, Juvederm) to camouflage the remaining wrinkles.
Keep in mind that Botox works for 3 to 6o months and repeat injections are necessary. The fillers, epecially Juvederm, last longer.

Maybe. It depends on your age and skin quality
If there is little sun damage and the lines are not deeply etched yet, Botox will make them disappear for 3-4 months. If there is sun damage, you may need some filler or laser as well. The sooner you get Botox, the better it works.

Botox for wrinkles
If you have wrinkles present at rest and these lines are due to muscle movement (typically between the brows or horizontal forehead lines), these can be improved significantly by botox. They may not disappear completely if they are present at rest. In addition to botox, a small amount of filler can be used to minimize, even further, the presence of lines at rest. I have found many of my patients to be very satisified with botox alone since they still have a great result and...

Can Botox Fix Permanent Worry Lines?
Hi Deni. It's very possible that Botox will help resolve your worry lines. If these lines are visible even when you are not frowning, it may also be required to use a dermal filler product like Restylane, Juvederm or Perlane to fill the lines in addition to Botox helping to relax the muscles that have caused them.
Find an experienced practitioner (or two) in your area and visit them for a consultation as without a photo it's difficult to say what we would suggest.

Botox for Permanent Worry Lines
The effectiveness of Botox will depend upon where your "permanent" worry lines are located. If the lines are on the forehead and are present at rest, Botox will be quite effective if you stay with the treatments and repeat the injections as soon as muscle activity begins to return. Occasionally I will use a filler treatment as well such as Juvederm or Restylane to speed up the process, depending upon the location of the wrinkles.

Botox is great for "worry lines" on the forehead
Botox is great for the temporary (3-4 month) treatment of worry lines on the forehead. It works excellent and is safe but it is not permanent.
