Do not want to use fillers, only Botox, for permanent frown lines. Is it possible?

Asked By:banana12345678 in East Orange, NJ

I am 38 and have deep permanent/static frown lines between my eyes which I have noticed getting worse over the last few years. I would like to start Botox treatment however I am nervous about using fillers (which I know helps with the static/etched in lines). Is it possible for a significant IMPROVEMENT to be noticed in the static/etched in lines a period of time (could be years) while using only Botox?
