Dermal Filler Without Botox - for Frown Lines?

May 4, 2013
Asked By:jeoff22

I have a single, static frown line between my brows at rest. I do not frown during the day, and wear tape over the lines at night to prevent me frowning as I sleep. I understand I will need a dermal filler to plump out the folded skin. My question is, in my case, what is the point of having Botox as well as the Dermal filler? It seems like Botox will be a waste.
