I have had Botox twice it worked great on my forehead lines but I still have frown lines (11’s) I am getting microneedling done next week for my acne scars. Will microneedling also help with my wrinkles?

Answer: Botox for 11's Botox and other neuromodulators are great from taking away dynamic rhytides (wrinkles from moving). Lines that are there at rest (static wrinkles) will improve with botox and will go away over time with continued use. For patients with deeper lines, combinations of botox and filler or resurfacing treatment like laser or peels can improve results. In your case, you appear to still have some muscle tone in the forehead muscles and probably need a higher dose prior to having microneedling or resurfacing treatments. Best of luck.

Answer: No results with Botox Yes, combination treatments are best; starting from simple facials with microdermabrasions and light peels or lasers (to help resurface the skin and exfoliate dead skin cells) along with Botox treatments that will help wrinkles from worsening over time while smoothing existing fine lines out. Topicals are also important to maintain moisture, protect from free radicals/sun damage (vitamin C, SPF, etc), as well as to encourage light exfoliation (Retinols). Hope this helps.
