I'm 36 years old and have some really deep static frown lines between my eyes which are very noticeable. I considered Botox, but due to being recently married and becoming pregnant very quickly I was advised to wait. I want to continue to have children for as long as I am able to but I'm nervous about the static frown lines deepening. Is there any other option that you can offer to help me - feeling a little distressed about the thought of looking permanently stressed/upset! Thank you for your time.
Answer: Addressing frown lines when pregnant Thank you for your question. Botox cosmetic and/or filler injections are excellent options for softening lines and augmenting the face. I do not, however, recommend such injections while pregnant or breastfeeding. Best of luck.

Answer: Botox while pregnant Congratulations on your pregnancy. As the other physicians have already mentioned, Botox has not been studied in pregnant and breast feeding women. Thus, you should wait until you are no longer breast feeding to have either Botox or filler. However, glabella lines can be treated with taping at night. After you have washed your face you can spread the wrinkle flat and tape it in that position with some medical tape. The next morning you release the tape. While Botox and fillers are the gold standard, you may be satisfied with this method until you are able to get Botox.

Answer: Botox not recommended during pregnancy Botox is not approved for use during pregnancy as you already know. Take good care of your skin and address the wrinkles when you are not pregnant or breastfeeding. If they are deep you can use a combination of botox and filler.

Answer: Any way to address frown lines apart from Botox when pregnant? Thank you for your question and congratulations on your pregnancy! Avoiding Botox during pregnancy is the wise thing to do and I would recommend maintaining appropriate hydration and a healthy skin care regimen to prevent worsening of your static wrinkles. Some patients find that using a biofeedback device - such as a breath right nasal strip - placed across the area between your eyes will remind you when you are making the stressed/upset look so that you stop that muscle activation. This is obviously only for use while at home and little chance of encountering other people. Hope this helps.
