Would Botox help get rid of a horizontal wrinkle between my eyes? (Photo)

Question

How to get rid of this one crease horizontal wrinkle between eyes? Note I have filler in my nose bridge & glabella region (yes I’m planning on stopping getting filler there and just opting for a nose job Cus I know now how risky those areas are) but yes that might be contributing to the wrinkle as I don’t have any anywhere else. Would some Botox in that area help or forehead Botox to lift up the skin? Or should I be looking at skin treatments or something completely different? Thanks!

Yes, Botox can be helpful to soften the crease between the brows that bothers you.  You should begin seeing improvement 5-7 days after treatment. We also recommend using medical grade skin care products like Transform MD and wearing sunscreen every day.

Hi there, 
If the wrinkle you're talking about occurs when you are animating your face (ie. furrowing your eyebrows or raising them), then yes there's a good chance some toxin (Botox, Xeomin, Dysport, Jeaveau, etc) will help temporarily address the problem (3-6 months).

J. Renee Booth, MD · Answer

Botox in the forehead can allow the tissue above this wrinkle to relax and worsen the wrinkle. The motion of the procerus muscle is to pull upward from the root of the nose and downward from the forehead. If Botox is used to treat the upper portion of the procerus alone, then it may help with the wrinkle. However, the Botox can spread to the frontalis muscle which would do the opposite. It could also spread to the lower portion of the procerus which would also oppose the desired outcome. The most reliable method would be to avoid treating the forehead and procerus with Botox. Treating the corrugator muscles would be safe since that will not worsen the horizontal wrinkle and will minimize vertical wrinkles.
