Botox and fillers work well in combination for deep forehead furrows
Botox is first common line of therapy to help with dynamic (movement-induced) wrinkles. Soft tissue fillers such as Juvederm and Restylane can be used in combination for deep permanent (static) wrinkles.

Deep Brow Furrow Treatment
Hi jeani079-
Furrows in the brow can be soften by Botox or Dysport. If the furrows are deeper, then the additional of a filler such as Restylane or Juvederm is advisable. For extremely deep furrows occasionally surgical excision is an option.

Treating deep creases/furrows in the forhead and brow
The lines that are found in the forehead and between the brows are caused by contraction of the facial expression muscles that are found just underneath the skin. Botox (or Dysport) should be the first line of treatment, in that it will prevent the muscles from contracting and therefore soften out the lines in the forehead and brow. However, it is not uncommon to find that these "expression" lines--or furrows--have been
"etched" into the skin over years of overuse....

Single deep forehead line
For most patients, Botox will suffice for forehead wrinkles.
However in some patients when the usual two creases coalesce as one, Botox may be ineffective. Hyaluronic acid filler or autologous fat fascism grafts (LiveFill) are alternatives.
In the frown area, doctors injecting fat or fillers must be cautious of embolic events.

Botox for fiurrows.
The best approach is Botox used appropriately for 6 months or longer to achieve the mamximum. Then, if furrows persist, consider Juvederm, the best filler I feel. Down the list is a variety of surgical approaches. Even deep peels or Laser Rx can be complimentary. Good luck.

Botox & Dysport are paralytics which will ultimately eliminate the wrinkle
As stated above the paralytics will eliminate the wrinkles, however it may take 3-4 treatments to see the complete resolution of the wrinkle. It is important not to allow the muscles to get to the point that they function, so you will need to be sure to reinject every 3.5-4 months, as soon as you see any motion what so ever. If you are in a rush, you can certainly fill the crease to reduce the appearance until the paralysis of the muscles has taken effect.
Best!

Botox usually works well for forehead furrow- plan B is filler
Botox is almost always used first to relax the muscles responsible for the furrow.
If the results are not adequate, it can be helped with a judicious use of fillers such as Juvederm, Restylane, Radiesse, and others.

Botox and Dysport work for forehead furrows
The lines that form on the forehead are due to muscle movement. These muscles can be relaxed with Botox or Dysport and overtime, and with several treatments, you will notice the line becoming softer and softer. If the line is etched into the skin, you may also need a filler like Restylane or Juvederm to help plump up the area in conjunction with Botox or Dysport.

Deep furrow in the forehead treated by botox
Your furrow may respond to treatment with botox if it is a muscle movement-related crease. If however it is caused by sagging thick skin and sun damage, then it may not respond. Fillers may be needed as well as, or instead of, Botox. An examination may provide useful information to help determine what the best approach is for you.

Removing a Deep Furrow in Forehead
Botox works very well for diminishing the so-called "elevens" but also the transverse lines in the forehead. I would recommend a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon who can help you create a plan tailored to your specific anatomy and needs.

Forehead wrinkles
Furrows, grooves and wrinkles occur on the forehead in primarily a vertical orientation between the eyebrows or a horizontal orientation above the eyebrows. Dynamic wrinkles are present upon movement of the forehead muscles, but are not apparent when the forehead is at rest. Static wrinkles are present even when the forehead is at rest. Dynamic wrinkles are easily and effectively treated with a neurotoxin (such as Botox or Dysport). Static wrinkles sometimes require the combination of a...

Botox and Deep furrows in forehead
Botox and dysport are indicated for relaxing dynamic lines. They work by relaxing muscles that cause the furrows when you frown. In patients that have static line, Botox and dysport will definitely help however you might require higher units to be injected and the furrows might not go away completely.

Deep furrows on forehead best treated with combination of Botox or Dysport and/or fillers
First get an in person consultation with your board-certified aesthetic physician regarding deep lines on the forehead, such as the 11's between eyebrows. I would consider Botox or Dysport first to minimize dynamic lines, i.e. those caused by involuntary muscle contraction. If there are still noticeable lines at rest, then these static lines, which are valleys between bands of muscles, can be filled in with hyaluronic acid filler such as Juvederm or Restylane which can be...

Is There Help for Deep Furrow Line?
Hi Jeani. Most often, the term furrow is used to describe the "11" lines in the glabella area, the space above the nose and between the eyes. For this area and these vertical lines, Botox or Dysport is probably your best and first treatment.
In some cases, we find that with deep furrow lines in this area, they may require a little dermal filler as well and we like Restylane. The Botox or Dysport relaxes the muscles causing the line, but when it remains after...

Botox or Dysport is generally the first line treatment for forehead lines
Deep forehead furrows, if caused by facial motion muscles, tend to respond well to Botox or Dysport. If the lines are deep, it may take multiple treatments to achieve desirable results. Fillers can deliver more immediate results but are generally not used first line on the upper face. Addressing the elasticity of the skin with resurfacing procedures such as chemical peels, laser treatments or topical retinoids can also contribute to a smoother forehead.

Graduated approach to a deep furrow
Initial evaluation should determine whether this is a static or a dynamic cause. The severity of the furrow should be assessed. Most commonly these represent themselves as "# 11" between the eyes and they are usually vertically or slightly obliquely oriented. Sometimes you could have a horizontal furrow as well. Some individuals may have a single, very deep furrow. Initial therapy usually includes a trial of botulinum toxin with or without a filler....

Options for Forehead Furrow
For most lines (even deep furrows), a neuromodulator (Botox or Dysport) is the first line treatment. However, if the line is deep and present at rest, a hyaluronic acid filler (Juvederm or Restylane) is often also needed to make it go away completely. An experienced injector should be able to judge whether to use the two modalities at the same time, or to go with Botox/Dysport first and wait on the filler. The good news is that if both modalities are used, the result...

Botox and Fillers Work Best For Deep Forehead Furrows
Botox or Dysport can be very effective for calming the muscles of facial expression that contribute to the appearance of deep furrows.Sometimes this is all that is necessary to obtain a gratifying cosmetic improvement.
However, after years of muscular contractions, the surface of the skin immediately above these muscles can become permanently etched with lines, just as when a sheet of paper after folding shows crease lines when we unfold and attempt to straighten it. When very deep,...

Removing deep lines & furrows on your forehead.
A deep forehead furrow can be improved upon, indeed. Sometimes just a little Dysport injection accompanied by a little bit of Restylane filler will do the trick. If the line is vertical between the eyes-- this almost always works. If the furrow is horizontal & across the forehead, you may need more of both products. In any case there is a good chance that you will have a very nice result. Plan to repeat the procedure twice a year & you will note that it gets better each time you do...

Botox can help remove a deep forehead furrow
Botox or Dysport relax the muscle(s) that cause the deep lines in the forehead. However, in order to fully treat deeper lines that have developed over many years, facial fillers such as Juvederm or Restylane may also be used in combination with Botox or Dysport for maximal improvement. Best of luck!

Deep Furrow of the Forhead
The best first-line treatment for a deep creases of the forehead is Botox Cosmetic / Dysport to help relax the underlying muscles to reduce the appearance of creases / wrinkles in the overlying skin. There are more involved invasive procedures such as a brow lift which can also smooth out the skin of the forehead. If you post pictures, we may be able to give you more specific advice.
Good Luck.

Relax it with Botox/Dysport- may need to fill with Restylane/Juvederm
Great question and simple to treat. I had these lines myself and I have used both Dysport and Botox- both have worked just fine. Give it a try. I suspect that would be all you need but sometimes a filler like Restylane/Juvederm may be needed or even a chemical peel or a laser resurfacing would be other options.
Good luck

Botox works- but not for everyone!
The simple answer is that, if the 'furrows' of the forehead are a result of motion (in this case raising your eyebrows) then Botox will work for you as, properly administered, it will reduce (or even eliminate) your ability to raise your eyebrows.
The 'not so simple' answer is that, while Botox will reduce motion, in the case of the forehead you are using Botox to block the muscles that elevate the eyebrow. The net effect is that Botox of the forehead can lower your...

How to remove deep furrow on the forehead
If the furrow disappears when your face is completely relaxed (dynamic wrinkle), Botox can help relax the muscles that form it and it should smooth out.
If the furrow is present when the face is relaxed, Botox injections by themselves will not be sufficient to smooth it out. It will need to be filled with a filler like Juvederm and then the muscles that act on it should be treated with Botox so that your facial expressions will not re-form the wrinkle.
It also depends on where...

Youthful forehead
The use of Botox can quickly and easily rejuvenate the appearance of the forehead by not only reducing the prominence of deep wrinkles, but also by elevating and reshaping the brow. In cases where wrinkles are persistent or unusually deep and may persist after 1-2 treatments with Botox, the use of a filler may be considered. Overall, these procedures provide a high degree of satisfaction with modest cost.

Deep Furrow Wrinkle Treatments
Botox will work to paralyze the muscles creating such furrows however if they are present when your forehead is relaxed, you may need additional treatment. To eliminate forehead furrows that are present when your forehead is relaxed, hyaluronic acid fillers such as Restylane or Juvederm can be used to smooth out the surface of the skin.

Many treatments for forehead furrows
Botox is the first thing to try for improving what I believe is a deep vertical groove between the eyebrows. If it were horizontal furrows you are talking about, iI presume you would refer to them in the plural.
If Botox fails, fillers ,or implants or even excision can be done.

Botox and Filler
A horizontal line(s) across the forehead can be readily treated with Botox. Filler, conservatively placed, can mop up any residual line or crease.
Injecting the glabellar area (between the eyebrows), will raise the forehead some, by relaxing the downward pull of those muscles. Then a judicious amount of Botox (or Dysport) in the forehead itself should go a long way towards eliminating your furrow. Your physician, preferably a dermatologist or plastic surgeon, should be careful in not...

Generally yes.

There is just no substitute for a personal consultation. Are you talking about a horizontal forehead line or a deep line between the eyebrows? This will have a bearing on what your best treatment options are. Certainly, there are minimally invasive options with fillers and BOTOX. However, it may be that you have a line that will require surgical options. Do your home work and find a cosmetic surgeon that treats your concerns and have a personal...

Toxin and Filler needed
First thing. A botulinum toxin needs to be injected in the glabellar complex (frown area). After 2 weeks, the patient is reassessed. If the line is gone. Great. If not, then the patient should be given 2 options. The first is to point out that the line will get smoother time and repeated treatments. He or she would obviously have to wait. The second option is to place a small amount of hyaluronic acid filler of low viscosity to immediately fill the area up. Its this decision making done by...

BOTOX® and / or a filler for forehead furrows
If the furrow is more obvious when you frown or raise your eyebrows, then part of the problem is coming from excess muscle activity in the area, and that part of the problem can be treated by relaxation of the muscle with BOTOX® or another fomulation of BTX-A.
If the furrow is visible when your forehead is relaxed, then that part of the problem would respond well for Juvéderm™ or some other filler.
Quite often patients have a furrow which is visible at rest, but...

Treatment of a Deep Forehead Furrow
I find that Botox or Dysport is quite effective in treating deep furrows in the forehead. Since these furrows tend to form over a long period of time and are usually present at rest (static lines) you would have to continue the treatments so the lines can fade over time. Occasionally I will use a filler such as Juvederm or Restylane to speed up the process if necessary.

Deep forehead furrows are easily treated
Botox is the mainstay of treatment of deep lines in this area. If you want more of an effect you can follow with facial fillers such as Restylane or Juvederm. Botox will last 3-4 months and facial fillers will last 6-9 months. Good luck!
