I have learned that there are some doctors who will only provide Botox in the glabella area and not other areas of the forehead. I’m reading about different opinions. Can anyone clarify?
Answer: Botox in Forehead Botox was originally studied as a treatment for eye muscle spasms, but many noticed the reduction of their crow's feet wrinkles during trails. Eventually, the FDA approved the use of this neurotoxin in that area. Generally, Botox can be injected in the forehead and around the eyes by an experienced physician injector.

Answer: Botox in the Forehead I agree that Botox us incredible in the glabella, but it is also a very useful product in the forehead. The forehead is a more difficult area to inject as there are some potential complications if you inject too close to the brow. The closer you get, the higher the risk of dropping the brow. Remember that forehead muscles form the horizontal wrinkles (the part you want eliminated) but also support and lift the brow (the part you want to still work). So, every brow is different, so striking that balance takes an appropriate understanding of the anatomy and experience.

Answer: Botox in the face Botox can be injected in both the glabella (frown) and forehead areas. In addition, it can be injected around the eyes (crow's feet) as well. All 3 areas are currently FDA approved. Botox can also be used (off label) to treat the sides of the nose, enlarge the eyes, decrease the wrinkles around the mouth, lift the eyebrow, lift the corners of the mouth, etc. In other words, Botox can do many things and you would want to be treated by an experienced cosmetic surgeon who knows how to do it all rather than someone who just does the frown.

Answer: Forehead or Glabella for Botox? Find Experienced Botox Injector for Full Treatment All dermatologists have their own unique skill sets and procedures with which they feel most comfortable. If someone is new to Botox, they may want to limit themselves to injecting only the areas they’ve been trained in. They also might choose to use Botox solely on-label, which greatly curtails its utility. Botox is safe and effective when treating forehead lines, crows feet, neck lines and much more, if administered by an expert injector. Please consult a board-certified dermatologist who has demonstrable expertise and experience using Botox in the forehead and other areas of the face.

Answer: If your forehead needs botox, then that is where you get it put. Botox injected into the glabella (between the eyebrows) is very common and works well here. Many patients need it on the forehead creases as well so they get it there too.
