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: 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 11's Without knowing the number of units of Botox that were injected in this area it is difficult to advise you. It is possible that additional Botox alone will reduce the 11's. A more permanent solution would be CO2 laser resurfacing, chemical peels or multiple microneedling treatments.

Answer: Will microneedling help my 11's?? Ask Dr.Ellen The frown lines, aka the 11’s, are caused by the strong pull of two muscles that sit above each eyebrow. If you are looking to soften these, the best thing to do is get Botox in this area. These muscles vary in the direction from which they pull, so it’s best to go to an experienced injector to assess your anatomy. The microneedling can be used to diminish fine lines and greatly improve the quality of your skin- which is a factor contributing to facial lines. The more brittle your skin : the harsher the lines. Gravitational lines, lines that persist when your face is at rest, tend to be deeper and are responsive to fillers. Since you have many options, the first thing you should do is go to a professional who can assess exactly what you need. Hopefully this has helped! Good luck!

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.
