I have had five atempts at botox for the crows lines around my eyes, my brow and a very distinct lateral line above my nose (forehead area) but it does not seem to work. My crows feet were slightly lessened, by forehead wrinkles still wrinkled to a lesser amount but still noticable and the vertical line is still very prominent. I have been to two different doctors but the results are still very poor.
Why is this?
Answer: Botox Does Not Work On Crow's Feet Lines That Are Permanent
Botox works on dynamic Crow's Feet lines that are caused by the movement of the underlying muscle. Botox helps reduce the Crow's Feet that you see when you wince or smile.
After years of muscle pull, sun damage, and aging the Crow's Feet become permanently etched into the skin.
Botox cannot remove these Permanent Crow's Feet that are etched into the skin.
Permanent Crow's Feet are best treated with Combined Laser Resurfacing or facial fillers like Restylane, Juvederm, Perlane oir Sculptra.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Fillers vs Botox If the wrinkles appear only when you make a facial expression, like smiling, then Botox would be more suitable. Botox treats "dynamic" wrinkles.Fillers would be better for you because the wrinkles are visible even when your face is in a neutral expression. This means that they are "static" wrinkles, and fillers is the right treatment to smooth them away.

Answer: Botox for Crows Feet Not Working It is possible that you need more Botox injected in the crow’s feet to have the effect you want, and this could be determined at your 2 week followup with your injector. You may also consider other nonsurgical treatments, such as laser based technologies. Injectable fillers can also be administered to the forehead to achieve a smoother contour.

Answer: The Nonsurgical 3D Vectoring Lift Works Well For Static Crow's Feet Lines
There are two types of crow's feet lines on the sides of the eyes. Those that arise from expression muscle movements (dynamic wrinkles) and those that are present at rest (static wrinkles). Botox and other neuromodulators, such as Dysport and Xeomin, work only on softening overactive muscular movements and hence only can be expected to improve dynamic (movement-related) wrinkles. For static wrinkles (the creases and etching-like marks that arise from years of "folding" our skin while smiling and emoting), we need additional approaches. In general, fillers are used to plump up the creases.
I have found that performing a Nonsurgical 3D Vectoring Lift in this region first (before using fillers) often provides the necessary projection to soften the wrinkles--which may then be treated with fillers (if still even necessary) to further obliterate them.
Analogous to the approach used for the Nonsurgical 3D Vectoring Browlift, tiny "threads" or "strains" of a volumizing filler are placed strategically across the crow's feet region, which yield immediate results and also give rise to longer-lasting results via stimulating subsequent neocollagenesis (new native collagen formation) that can lead to further tissue retraction and lifting of the target areas.
Consultation with a board certified aesthetic physician experienced in all these techniques is strongly advised to ensure that the best approach or combination of treatments be tailored to your individual needs.

Answer: Why isn't Botox working? There could be a couple reasons why Botox has not had the desired outcome for you. It is possible that the practitioner is not using the proper dosage. When underdosing, the lines may appear smooth, but still apparent. If the dosage is correct, it's just possible that your lines are too deep to fix with Botox alone. You may be in need of other services to compliment the Botox results. If you determine that the Botox dosing is appropriate for you (check with your doctor for the number of units used) then we would recommend checking into the following options. Dermal fillers such as Restylane or Juvederm. Laser Resurfacing Surgical Procedures
