Will Botox get rid of this deep forehead wrinkle? (Photo)

Hello, thank you for the question. As Botox is used for deep-set wrinkles, I believe that you would be a good candidate for a routine Botox regiment. I would book an appointment with an experienced and reputable injector to learn more. Good luck!

Botox is an excellent method for treating the wrinkles of the forehead.  Nonetheless, your photo shows that your wrinkles are very deep and that they appear even when the forehead is at rest.  Botox will help diminish the appearance of your wrinkles and any remaining wrinkles may be treated with a filler.  I would recommend you schedule a consultation with a doctor who has experience with these treatments.

Botox is surprisingly effect for forehead wrinkles. It can be truly amazing at how improved deep lines can look in that area. That is not typically true for the lines between the brows or the crows feet, but for some reason, the forehead wrinkles really respond well. I'm sure you'll love it.Andrew Campbell, M.D.

Hi,Thank you for your question and sharing your photo.It depends on whether your photo is "at rest" or "with animation." If you don't have any static lines at rest, it most likely will resolve with Botox or Dysport. If you have a deep line at rest, the line may or may not completely go away with just Botox/Dysport. Based on your photo, it looks like it's on animation so you should be in good shape.Make sure to see an experienced, board-certified provider.Hope this helps!

Based upon the picture I think Botox or Dysport would be helpful though you may need a dermal filler for better results since the forehead crease is deep.

Yes, it should address the wrinkles on the forehead. However, in some cases HA fillers may be needed to achieve the best result. 

Thank you for sharing your excellent question.  For most patients Botox will substantially improve their forehead wrinkle.  As yours appears to have a component that is present even without animating it may require additional treatments through chemical peels and micro needling to achieve the best results.  Hope this helps.

Dear little72,botox is generally an on off switch for muscle activity. I get a fair amount of actors/actresses in my practice that are looking to reduce wrinkles but keep some expression. Finding an experienced physician injector is your best bet.Most of patients see first changes after 4-7 days and the final results after 10-14 days.It depends on the amount of Botox and area where it is injected but it usually last for 3-4 months.Daniel Barrett, MD

Thanks for your question and photo. Basically, if that wrinkle is not present at rest  (ie. with no movement) then botox will make it go away. If the wrinkle is present at rest, then you may need botox and filler to make it go away immediately. Sometimes, continued use of the botox over time just by itself will make it go away. Hope that helps, good luck.

Botox can be used to improve forehead wrinkles. Deeper wrinkles need a combination approach with Botox and lasers, microneedling/prp and fillers. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer
