Can very deep vertical wrinkles in the forehead be repaired? (photo)

October 20, 2013
Asked By:Saber65

I am a 48 y/o male and I have several very distinct vertical lines in my forehead. These are not between the eyes, they extend up up from above the eyes around the middle of each eye. Mine look the same as Mel Gibsons. When you rub accross them you can feel a complete seperation in the underlying muscles. It is not just the skin that moves over these muscles. Is Botox and dermal fillers the only and/or best way to treat these lines? Are there more evasive procedures to make these go away?
