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: Treating The 11s Lines To treat the frown lines or the “11’s’” you need to treat the muscles which create those lines. Therefore, the glabellar muscles need to be relaxed (frown), not the frontalis muscle (forehead). Warm Regards, Dr Glenn Murray, Absolute Cosmetic Medicine

Answer: Precision is the key to a successful treatment Thank you for your question. The 11s, which are known by their technical name glabellar lines, are formed by activity of the distinct muscle groups. Botox injections must be precisely placed into the corrugator, the process and the depressor supercilia muscle groups to achieve the desired result. The area is between the brows in a few key locations above the brow. The dosing amount will also affect the quality of your results. I encourage you to meet with a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist that has extensive experience working with neuromodulators like Botox to ensure an optimal outcome.

Answer: Botox for "11's" I appreciate your question. Botox is a neuromodulator, which means it eliminates lines by relaxing the muscles that form them. In the case of the “11s,” there are different muscles in the glabellar area that may need to be treated to ensure an optimal outcome. I recommend you make an appointment with a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist with extensive experience in Botox who can evaluate the facial anatomy to pinpoint the precise injections locations to produce the smoothest results.

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
