I have a few forehead lines mainly around the middle. My deepest line is this frown line and i hate it. Would botox get rid of it? Will it take a few botox treatments? I don't want filler. Would I need CO2 laser in addition to botox?
Answer: How you may benefit from Botox Thank you for your question and photo. Botox is an ideal solution for treating the overactive muscle that is causing the line you’re referring to. Lines, wrinkles, and creases can be the result of repetitive muscle movements that can deepen over time. Botox injections can target the muscle causing this line, reducing muscle activity to minimize the appearance of the wrinkle. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified injector who can suggest the best option for you.

Answer: Glabellar Lines / 11s / Frown Lines -- Neuromodulators (Botox/Dysport/Xeomin/Jeuveau), Fillers, Lasers, Microneedling/PRP "For glabellar lines (or frown lines / ""11"" lines), we inject Botox, Xeomin, or Dysport into the muscle, causing the muscle to weaken and improving the appearance of the lines. These work by binding to receptors that send nerve signals for muscles to contract. Since your body makes new receptors and neurotransmitters all the time, it needs to be maintained otherwise the wrinkles will slowly return as the muscle regains function over time. Neurotoxins take 2 to 4 weeks to start working and lasts for up to 6 months. For deeper glabella lines or strong 11s, I use a combination of Botox with fillers, lasers and microneedling with PRP. I suggest getting a formal evaluation with an experienced cosmetic dermatologist and expert in lasers and fillers. Best, Dr. Emer "

Answer: Forehead lines If your forehead lines are created/changed when you make facial expressions then they will be improved with Botox. We call these dynamic lines. If the line is there regardless of muscle activity then it may be softened with Botox but will likely need additional treatments, such as Morpheus8, to improve it further.

Answer: Frown line Hello and thank you for your question. It is always best to see you face to face for a consult and examination however in this case botox would certainly soften the area although it's unlikely the line will go completely. Usually to give botox a go you need 3 treatments at 3 month intervals to see how reduced the line could get. Following that as you describe resurfacing or micro-needling can help for these static lines. I hope that helps answer your question. Always seek an experienced and qualified medical professional for these treatments. Very best wishes

Answer: Treatment of frown line Botox normally will help with the appearance of frown lines in between the eyebrows. The addition of a filler can sometimes also create more improvement. Since you mentioned you didn't want any fillers, the Botox alone should still provide some benefit. I do not think a CO2 laser would have any significant effect on a deep frown line.
