I am getting vertical (glabella lines) on my forehead, not horizontal. I do not like Botox. What lasers would help to eliminate these. I was told that fillers are not safe for that area.

Answer: Glabella Lines. What lasers would help to eliminate these? Fraxel® laser treatment is great for smoothing superficial lines on the face and body. Since the correct Fraxel® laser treatment settings vary widely among individuals, please consult a board certified aesthetic dermatologist for a consultation.

Answer: Treatment for Lines in Glabella Botox or related medicines Dysport and Xeomin are usually the best choice for treating glabellar lines or the 11's. These lines are caused by muscle contraction and Botox works by relaxing the muscles which cause the lines. It is possible to inject fillers into the lines as well but it is considered a higher risk area for filler and special expertise is required. Lasers alone don't work well for glabellar lines because the lines tend to come back over time due to repeated muscle contractions. When I do laser resurfacing, I almost always recommend combining the laser treatment with Botox injections so that the improvement in the lines can last.
