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
Cetaphil lotion tends to be very mild, but it sounds like you might have either developed a sensitivity to it or, more likely, you may have developed another medical condition called eczema or seborrhea of the face. A dermatologist should evaluate you in person in order to properly diagnose your condition. In the meantime, chemical peels are NOT appropriate management and may in fact make your irritated skin feel worse! Good luck, Dr. Rupani
It's a neurotoxin, and you are putting it in your face. There are potential risks and side effects associated. Your best bet is a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon who has special training and expertise in this field. Good luck, Dr. Rupani
...usually. Some people find that it lasts less or more time.

Good luck, Dr Rupani
