Answer: Restylane usually not the first choice for upper face The horizontal lines of the forehead and the vertical lines between the eyebrows are dynamic in origin, meaning they are caused by hyperactive muscles of expression. Because Botox and Dysport work to relax the muscles, they treat the cause of the wrinkles in a way that dermal fillers such as Restylane can't.

Answer: Restylane not commonly used for forehead lines Although it is not commonly used in the forehead and between the eyes, Restylane is an option in these areas. Restylane is not FDA approved for the forehead, but can be effective to fill larger wrinkles and folds that have not or will not revolve completely with Botox.

Answer: Botox is far better for dynamic forehead lines The lines that form on the forehead are a result of muscle activity over time. Minimization of activity of these muscles helps give the forehead a more relaxed, smoother appearance. Botox is a form of chemical neurotoxin that minimizes communication between the motor nerve and the muscle. The reason Allergan has been so successful is that Botox really works!

Answer: Comprehensive approach to wrinkles and lines require understanding of causes In order to choose the best therapeutic option(s) for wrinkles, it is helpful to understand the underlying reason(s) behind these lines of maturity. Forehead, crows feet lines are mostly due to excessive and involuntary contraction of facial muscles and thus is better treated with botulinum toxin such as Botox or Dysport. Whereas smile lines around the lips along nasolabial folds and the corners of the mouth are mostly due to loss of facial volume and immediate gratification can be provided by fillers such as Restylane, Juvederm, Evolence or Radiesse. On the other hand, most of the sagging of our cheeks, jowls is due to loss of bony support that we used to have in our youth along brows, upper cheeks and the mandibles. If you are not quite ready for face lifts, Sculptra can be a wonderful option to restore a more rejuvenated facial contours and the cosmetic benefit may last couple years.
