I have developed resistance to Botox, I´m 36 and I guess I´ve used it for almost 10 years it used to be wonderful, but now it doesn´t do anything to my face at all, so I was wondering if using Hyaluronic Acid can be an option to soften the wrinkles in my forehead and/or crow´s feet as well, any information will be greatly appreciated thank you
Answer: Hyaluronic acid to be used for forehead wrinkles. Thank you for your question. Hyaluronic acid injectable fillers are used for adding volume to facial areas. Hyaluronic acid will not relax the muscles. An in person assessment is required to evaluate if you are a candidate for filler to the frontalis.

Answer: Using Hyaluronic Acids When Botox Doesn't Work Botox and other neurotoxins such as Xeomin and Dysport remain the gold standard for treating dynamic wrinkles such as those found on the forehead and crow's feet. When there is resistance to these neurotoxins or when lines remain despite their maximum effect then Hyaluronic Acid fillers can be used to help further soften the lines and wrinkles. My preference in these situations are Belotero and Juvederm. Sometimes in cases of resistance to Botox, the other neurotoxins (Dysport and Xeomin) may still work for you. You might want to give them a try before writing off all neurotoxins. Hope this helps.

Answer: For your skin concern: Thank you for sharing your concern. Hyaluronic Acid is a natural humectant capable of holding 1,000 times its own weight in water, making it an excellent moisturizer when applied topically. SkinCeuticals H.A. Intensifier is a multi-functional serum proven to amplify and maintain the skin’s hyaluronic acid levels to restore the natural appearance of plumpness, smoothness, and firmness. It is also an ideal at-home complement to professional injectable treatments and visibly smoothes skin texture. Please consult a board certified physician if you are considering the use of injectable fillers to address your skin concerns.

Answer: HA and/or Botox for Forehead and Crows Feet wrinkles Dear drumlatin:Great question particularly since Botox has now been used for so many years.Botox is a wonderful drug to relax muscles causing skin lines and folds or rebalancing facial expression. Continued suppression of the same muscle will cause the muscle to atrophy or weaken to a point of minimal or no activity. Add to this that aging also affects the skin and laxity of the forehead or lateral brow will cause passive lines, folds and wrinkles and Botox just won't give you the pizzazz you once got from it. Your options include:firming the skin with "lasers", retinoids, Sculptrafilling the skin and wrinkles with fillersredraping and removing skin excess with lifts (brow / forehead).Your concerns should be evaluated by a well experienced Board Certified Plastic Surgeon or Facial ENT with expertise in all these options so they are not biased by skill limitations. I hope this has helped. I wish you the best!
