I would like to eliminate, or at least soften my glabellar lines. I'm reluctant to start using Botox or fillers at this time ( I've been told that once you start, it's like for the rest of your life) Is there a laser that would help? Or something that lasts longer than Botox or fillers?
Answer: Recommend doing a light CO2 laser or Morpheus8 Fractional laser is an amazing and highly effective treatment in our office. We use the laser treatment to help with acne scars, large pores, fine wrinkles, tissue collagen loss, scars, sebaceous hyperplasia, active acne, and for brightening dark pigmentation. Although there are very strong fractional lasers such as CO2 laser, we use lighter treatments for corrective skincare and maintenance of results. Our Thulium fractional laser, clear and brilliant laser, and Ultra Thulium laser are excellent options in our clinic. We also perform CO2 fractional and erbium depending on skin tone and tolerance for downtime. Patients do have to use a Melarase cream before and after treatment to help further reduce pigmentation after laser. Dark spots can improve with these treatments. I recommend fractional laser for incisional scars as well, especially after plastic surgery.

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: What’s the best treatment for the frown lines? Thank you for sharing your question and posting your photo. Botox is the best treatment option for frown lines. To maintain the results the injections have to be performed every 4 months. When you stop getting treated with Botox you simply go back to your original appearance. Lasers are only mildly effective, but have better results if your Botox once prior to the laser. Make an appointment with an experienced oculofacial surgeon who specializes in the erbium laser.
