I have a vertical indentation line inbetween my eyebrows. How can I get rid of this? (Photo)

Question

I have a dent inbetween my eyebrows even when I have Botox the dent is still there I can feel it and see it when the light shines on it. I’ve heard that filler is risky in that area is there anything else I could get to get rid of the dent?

First, it should be emphasized that Botox is for quieting the muscles below the skin that are responsible for these kinds of vertical lines; it is less effective for smoothing the creases in the skin that have already been made after years of using those muscles to squint and frown. I routinely treat these kinds of persistent folds with an appropriate low viscosity, malleable cohesive HA filler with very gratifying results. If you absolutely do not wish filler, then subcision, without filler, can be used to elevate and smooth the indentation. You would be wise to make sure that you consult an experienced, board certified cosmetic dermatologist. Hope this helps and best of luck.

Treating this area with filler carries a higher risk.  Be sure that you are seeing an experienced Botox injector for your treatment.  Botox can soften the appearance of the depression but may not eliminate the look.  You can consider other treatments such as Morpheus8 to help to further soften the appearance.

This region is high risk for filler. It is unlikely to be able to fully get rid of this wrinkle. I recommend continuing high dose botulinum toxin in the area since the muscle causing this can thin out from regular injection. Other options would be laser resurfacing and platelet rich plasma injection (This is not filler. It is used under the eye and for other reasons in the scalp).

Botox is a neuromodulator that is primarily used to treat dynamic wrinkles, which are caused by repetitive muscle movements. It temporarily relaxes the muscles, reducing the appearance of lines and wrinkles. However, it may not be as effective for static lines, which are visible even when the facial muscles are at rest, as these are often caused by factors such as sun damage, loss of collagen, and natural aging.
Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that involves the use of a device with fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These micro-injuries stimulate the body's natural healing process, promoting collagen and elastin production. This collagen and elastin production can help improve the appearance of static lines over time. Here's how microneedling can help improve static lines:
Collagen Stimulation: Microneedling triggers the production of new collagen in the skin, which can help plump and smooth out static lines. Collagen is a protein that provides structure and elasticity to the skin.
Skin Texture Improvement: Microneedling can help improve the overall texture of the skin, making it appear smoother and more youthful. This can minimize the appearance of static lines and other skin imperfections.
Enhanced Product Absorption: The microchannels created during microneedling allow for better absorption of topical skincare products, including serums and creams. This can further support the skin's rejuvenation and improve the appearance of static lines.
Gradual Results: While Botox provides quick results by temporarily relaxing muscles, microneedling works over time as collagen production continues. Multiple microneedling sessions may be required to achieve the desired improvements in static lines.
 In some cases, a combination of Botox and microneedling may be recommended to address both dynamic and static lines effectively.
Hope that helps! ....Lena

Botox will usually work, but now always. Volbella dermal filler given by an experienced injector should be safe and effective.
