I'm 28 & have deep lines/wrinkles on my forehead. Its been this way Some 13-14, I'm think it's genetic because most of my family have the same. But I'm noticing they seem deeper & even when my forehead is relaxed. I was thinking of Botox for this but since the lines are there when the muscles are relaxed I don't think alone Botox will work. I was wondering if it is possible to use dermal fillers to fill in the lines?& then Botox to relax the muscles too. Also what filler would be best for this?

Answer: Botox, Radiesse, and Microneedling/PRP - Deep static forehead lines? Hello jerronba,Thanks for your question.You are correct in assuming that Botox alone will not be enough. That being said, Botox is your first line of defense because it stops further line creation due to muscle motion. Any filler or fat works well in improving the depth of the lines. I prefer Radiesse for this particular situation. I also think that Microneedling treatments with PRP (platelet rich plasma) injections can help further soften the deep lines and correct the fine lines you might have.I recommend that you consult with a specialist in facial cosmetic surgery to learn more about your options.Good luck,Dr. Shah

Answer: Botox works great for the forehead Botox works surprisingly well in the forehead. Even deep lines can smooth with a single treatment. Realize though that Botox will prevent you from lifting your eyebrows as well as you would normally. I always recommend seeing an injector with extensive experience. Botox should always be customized to an individuals specific muscular anatomy.Andrew Campbell, M.D.Facial Plastic SpecialistQuintessa Aesthetic Centers
