I’m told over and over again “what’s wrong”. I won’t even be in a deep thought. The furrow between my eyes is the culprit. I know Botox is used to remove these furrows, but I hate the idea of going to a dermatologist every several months to get an injection. I can’t imagine fitting it into my hectic schedule. What alternatives are there for my angry-look problem?

Answer: Angry to happy So, this very well could be the furrow you are referring to. Another area to pay attention to is the brow position. Brow position can have a profound effect on how people perceive ones mood. That is something to keep in mind. I think there is no doubt you would benefit from botox. If you wanted a more permanent treatment we can reduce the muscle that causes the issue (corrugators and/or the procerus muscle). We do that often during a brow lift. Another option, which I am a big fan of, is fat transfer. We can fill those furrows as well as lift the lateral peak of the brow. Something to research a bit at the least. Hope this helps. Best of luck, DrC

Answer: Botox & filler smooth frown lines You are describing a very common concern. Even though you may not feel you have the time, I would recommend botox to keep your muscles from deepening the furrow. The first appointment usually takes 15 minutes, since your injector will want to explain the effect and side effects to you. If you get a good dose, you will return about every four months. These repeat appointments can be very quick - even as quick as five minutes.If the furrow is very deep, you may also want to consider filler, which will soften the indentation. Fillers do take a bit longer to inject than botox, but in this area, they can last for many months. If you keep the area motion-free with regular botox, your filler may even last more than a year.

Answer: Botox for angry look. Alternatives Botox and Dysport are among the most common ways to soft the frown look between the brows. You can also consider the use of dermal fillers such as Restylane Silk which can directly soften the frown lines when you are not making any facial expression. Alone, a dermal filler will not prevent you from frowning, however, it will soften the degree of active frowning, or the degree of static frown lines. I would definitely go to someone who has a lot of experience in this region and understands to risks in this area.
