I can’t seem to stop the movement on my eyebrows that are making my 11’s area, when I get my Botox. My whole forehead gets frozen but my eyebrows still have lots of movement, allowing my 11’s to still scrunch together.

Answer: Glabellar Lines / 11 Lines / Frown Lines -- Neuromodulators (Botox, Dysport, Xeomin), Fillers, Lasers, Microneedling/PRP For glabellar lines (or frown lines / "11" lines), we inject Botox into the muscle, causing the muscle to weaken and improving the appearance of the lines. Botox works by binding to receptors that send nerve signals for muscles to contract. Since your body makes new receptors and neurotransmitters all the time, it needs to be maintained otherwise the wrinkles will slowly return as the muscle regains function over time. Botox takes 2 to 4 weeks to start working and lasts for up to 6 months. For deeper glabella lines or strong 11s, I use a combination of Botox with fillers, lasers and microneedling/PRP. I suggest getting a formal evaluation with an experienced cosmetic dermatologist and expert in lasers and fillers. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Where do you inject Botox for the “11 area”? Hello,Thanks for your question. When injecting the "11's" it is important to note that motion in that area is the result of multiple different muscles. When I want to really stop motion in the area, I need to inject the glabellar muscles, the procerus muscle, and the nasal elevator muscles ("bunny lines"). Occasionally I also need to stop motion in the medial orbicularis oculi muscles that fire off when squeezing the eyes closed. Performed properly, this combination keeps the "11's" still but allows fairly natural facial motions. I hope this helps.Dr. Shah
