How can I get rid of my 11's without Botox? (Photo)

Botox is the best and most reliable choice to improve the dynamic lines of the glabella (the 11's). You can consider lasers, microneedling, and Morpheus8 to improve tone and texture of the skin in this area. It may give you some improvement, but will not work the same as Botox.

11 lines cannot be improved without botox. lasers, microneedling and filler can be used to help. I would suggest peels and skincare for pigmentation as I think that is why this is much more noticeable.

this is post inflammatory hyperpigmentation/melasma/discoloration that needs cosmelan or enlighten peels at home which we can do virtually and send to your home along with aerify peels regularly, vivatia foam, restorsea 10x, faith essence serum, and cosmelan 2 cream.

Hyperpigmentation from any type needs a combination approach of peels like cosmelan, enlighten and aerify,  lasers like clear and brilliant and aerolase or laser genesis, radiofrequency like venus viva, and constant skin care and sun protection.  Bimonthly facials with silk peel dermalinfusion is essential to hydrate, exfoliate and infuse vitamins and antioxidants into the skin.  If you have acne you can do additional treatments and peels to get more improvement.  I suggest a formal consultation with an expert in lasers and peels. Best, Dr. Emer.

Botox would be the first choice for these dynamic wrinkles. If you don't want botox a pliable filler such as Volbella, Belotero, or Restylane ReFyne would help as well.

Thank you for your question. 11 lines are extremely hard to correct without botox. If you are looking for something simple you could try "frownies" which is tape that holds that area apart. You can wear them to sleep and as often as possible to minimize you making an angry/squinting face. You could also do laser resurfacing to minimize any static lines at rest but you will just continue to create those 11 lines without getting botox. Botox will prevent you from creating any new wrinkles. Hope this helps!

Hello, although botox would probably be your best option to rid yourself of those lines, if you'd like to hold off on injectables, vivace might be a good route for you. Vivace is microneedling with radio frequency and works to tighten and boost collagen in the skin. A series of treatments is needed for best results.

Dysport is a prescription injection for temporary improvement in the look of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines) in adults less than 65 years of age. This area can often be treated alone, however, depending on your wrinkle pattern, we may recommend treatment of other areas for an even improvement. You can imagine that if you have general wrinkles over the face and then smooth just one area, this may lead to an unnatural look. Younger people with a genetic predisposition to deep lines in this area can usually just treat this area alone as they tend to be free of wrinkles in the surrounding area.
If you are looking at treatment of the forehead lines, but do not have a particular concern for the frown lines, it is likely we will still recommend treating this area. The reason for this is that a balance must be maintained with the lift and pull of the facial muscles. If the forehead alone is treated, the downward pull of the frown lines is no longer balanced and can give a heavy brow or angry look.
Most patients require 5-7 injections to the area between the brows and over the inner portion of the brows. Some patients benefit from additional injections along the sides of the upper nose, where additional muscles may contribute to creasing in the center of the brow. Injections may feel like a tiny pinch, but are not considered painful. We offer a vibrating tool that distracts from the injections and most patients feel only the vibration rather than the pinch. The injections take about 1 minute to perform.

Botox is the least invasive means by which number 11s or the frown lines can be removed. Another way is to have a surgical procedure where the muscles which are the cause of number 11s, are removed permanently. The surgical approach can be done in two different ways, depending on the plastic surgeons knowledge of anatomy and technique. I hope this helps and good luck from New York City plastic surgery

The glabella 11's are caused by contraction of the underlying carrigator muscles and their effect on the overlying skin. The only 2 things that stop the muscle from doing this is either Botox to paralyze the muscle or surgery to remove the muscle permanently. The only other thing that helps is use of retinol or, preferably, tretinoin (Retin-A) to thicken the skin and Obagi's ELASTIderm to add elasticity. The further you are above 30 years of age the more you need both of these skin treatments.
