- Does botox injection have any side effect? - Will botox effect the muscle movement around the areas of injection? - any alternative treatment? and how to avoid its occurrence again
Answer: Glabellar Lines / 11s / Frown Lines -- Neuromodulators (Botox/Dysport/Xeomin/Jeuveau), Fillers, Lasers, Microneedling/PRP "For glabellar lines (or frown lines / ""11"" lines), we inject Botox, Xeomin, or Dysport into the muscle, causing the muscle to weaken and improving the appearance of the lines. These work by binding to receptors that send nerve signals for muscles to contract. Since your body makes new receptors and neurotransmitters all the time, it needs to be maintained otherwise the wrinkles will slowly return as the muscle regains function over time. Neurotoxins take 2 to 4 weeks to start working and lasts for up to 6 months.

Answer: Botox for frown lines Hi A91R,Thank you for your excellent question. You are correct that Botox is a great treatment for the frown lines between the brows! Those lines are caused by your strong frown muscles in that area (not uncommon at the age of 25). Botox works by relaxing those muscles, preventing them from creasing the skin there. So, you are also right that the muscle movement will decrease in the areas that are injected, reducing or stopping your ability to frown between the brows. Botox can have side effects, but they are rare and temporary (Botox typically lasts 3-4 months). Definitely bring up any/all concerns with your provider prior to getting injected; your provider will be happy to address them. Best of luck!

Answer: Muscles of the brow You have a pair of muscles that create your "11's." Botox is routinely used to weaken those muscles so that you don't make the lines anymore. I would recommend consulting with a board certified physician that performs botox treatments to answer all of your questions/concerns.

Answer: Treatment for Frown Lines Between Eyebrows Frown lines, such as the ones in the photo, are quite common. Many patients begin to develop frown lines in their twenties; more so if they are in the sun a lot (squinting) or if they make many facial expressions when they speak. Botox is a wonderful option to achieve the results you desire! It lasts anywhere between 4-5 months and relaxes the muscles and improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Side effects are not common.

Answer: Treatment for Frown Lines Frown lines is one of the commonest areas to start developing lines. These lines form due to repeated movement of muscles in the area called the corrugator muscles. This can be very easily and effectively treated with Botox, Dysport or Xeomin. Treatment results in the muscles relaxing, preventing the skin from creasing and hence the overlying skin appears smoother. Treatment results last for 3-4 months so you will need treatment 3-4 times a year to maintain results. It is a very safe and effective treatment. Good luck.
