I am 55 years old. I have never had any cosmetic procedures. I would like to remove the frown lines between my eyes as well as wrinkles under the eyes and also would like to know if Botox is effective on frown lines?
Answer: Botox Can Help At 55+ There is no upper-age limit for using Botox to rejuvenate your face. The only considerations are health and skin tone. As long as your skin is still reasonably elastic, it should respond well to muscle relaxation with Botox. By relaxing the glabellar muscles that cause the “frown” lines that are bothering you, Botox allows the overlying skin to smooth out. Botox can also minimize or stop crow's feet wrinkles around the eyes. However, if you have deep creases or wrinkles underneath your eyes, you may need some resurfacing techniques first. If the wrinkles are deep, hyaluronic-acid based fillers are a possible solution, too. Please see a board-certified dermatologist.

Answer: Botox for 55 year old If you're healthy and have no existing medical conditions that would make Botox unsafe, then you may benefit from treatment. Botox is great for frown lines and crows feet, as well as glabellar lines. However, fillers may be more suitable for lines around the mouth.

Answer: Age Not The Indicator by Villar
Age is not the indicator for Botox. The degree and type of wrinkles are. Fine pliable wrinkles across the axis of contraction in the forehead, glabellar area, and crows feet are good indications. Very deep etched wrinkles in these same areas are more of an indication for a phenol peel as long as the entire face is treated as a unit. There are leathery 40 yr. olds beyond Botox and soft silky 80 yr. olds perfect for Botox. An experienced surgeon should be able to determine what is best for you with a hands on examination. Best wishes. Knowledge is power. Luis F. Villar MD FACS

Answer: Botox can help Botox can certainly help reduce the frown lines between the eyebrows, despite someone’s age. It is not used to treat all the lines underneath the eyelids as that can cause a sagging down of the eyelid margin which might allow for some dryness of the eyes. A small dose can be used right under the lower eyelids if someone has a bulging eyelid muscle causing a “roll”. Skin lines of the lower eyelid are better treated by laser such as Fraxel.

Answer: BOTOX is excellent for frown lines. You should see improvement in your frown lines for around 4 months after your office-injection. Botox is also excellent for forehead lines, and crow's feet. Botox does not work well for crepe under-eye skin. I hope this helps, and best regards.
