I've had Botox and really liked the results. My 11s were also present when I made no facial motion. Botox completely smoothed them out! A friend also has bad 11s. I suggested Botox to her as a miracle worker. Money is tight for her. Her doctor says Botox may not rid all of the lines but it would help lots. I don't want her to spend money if it doesn't work, but I do want her to give it a try to see big improvement. Will Botox work to improve static lines as well as movement lines for everyone?

Answer: Botox for the 11s Patients generally find the best results with botox in the 11 lines. It is remarkable. If your friend doesn't have the money for the procedure, don't pressure her into it. Botox for "11" lines is a cosmetic treatment and I'm confident that your friend will love the result. With that being said, not worth it to break the bank.I hope this helps.- Dr. Bryson Richards

Answer: Botox Stills Dynamic Muscles; Fillers Smooth Static Wrinkles Botox works for most people whose wrinkles are caused by dynamic muscles folding the skin. However, success is contingent on the quality of the patient's skin as well as how deep the wrinkles are. Your friend will likely see improvement, but if her lines are especially deep, a dermal filler such as Restylane or Juvederm may be recommended for further improvement. If she has realistic expectations, Botox may be enough for her; otherwise, she may be able to work out a payment plan with her board-certified dermatologist so that she can get the full improvement she seeks. In any case, it is important that she see an experienced dermatologist in person so that her wrinkles can be evaluated and she can take the best course of action.

Answer: Botox for 11s Botox can help reduce the appearance of 11s but your friend should see an experienced injector to determine if it's right for her. Sometimes, fillers can be injected as well to achieve the desired improvement.

Answer: Botox and 11s. Will Botox work to improve static lines as well as movement lines for everyone? In younger patients with healthy skin, Botox can create improvement in imprinted lines by eliminating the repetitive folding of that skin. However, in older patients or those with alot of sun damage a small amount of dermal filler is sometimes required in addition to Botox to eliminate the imprinted fold. I hope this information is helpful for you.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon

Answer: The General Rule: Botox For Lines From Movement & Fillers For Lines At Rest While the general rule is that Botox (as well as the other neuromodulators, Dysport and Xeomin) are used for wrinkles that result from the movement of the muscles of facial expression, if the skin above those muscles has developed etched-in lines as a result of years of repetitive use of the underlying muscles, Botox may not be enough to eliminate the lines entirely. In such cases, a filler may additionally be needed to take care of the lines at rest that have resulted from all those years of smiling, frowning, etc. That having been said, if the problem is caught early enough before the overlying skin has become heavily creased like folded paper, the simple injection of the Botox to soften the reaction of the muscle upon movement and to decrease the static tension that often exists in these muscles even at rest, may be enough, as it was with you, to do the job. Make sure your friend sees an experienced injector.
