What is the best treatment for 11s deep wrinkles? Botox? And serums or creams?

Thank you for your question.  This is one of the most common questions I am asked.  The 11's are the vertical lines between the eyebrows (the area is called the glabella) due to contraction of the corrugator muscles.  Medications, such as Botox, Xeomin, and Dysport, work to weaken the corrugator muscle and thereby relax the forces that cause the 11's.  This is the most reliable means to treat these lines.

Depending on the severity, the 11's can be treated with Botox and/or fillers, lasers and microneedling/prp. See an expert for a formal evaluation. Best, Dr. Emer

Hello,Thanks for your question. BOTOX , or other neurotoxins, is the best treatment for the 11's. However, if your lines are deep, BOTOX will soften them but may not totally eliminate them. We often use dermal fillers to fill deep lines. Topical creams and ointments won't get rid of your ll's but they will give a softer appearance to your skin. Those frown lines are created by repetitive movements. That's why using BOTOX to stop those muscles from contracting is the best way to address the issue. A word of caution, know your injector and their qualifications and make sure they are using actual BOTOX and not a bootleg product. Good luck!
