Should I Botox non permanent lines?

Although the quality of your photo is not very good and so it is hard to provide advise, I can see that your eyebrows are raised in the photo (dynamic lines). You're very lucky to have such great skin when taking into consideration your lifestyle and so you will see great benefits from merely tweaking your lifestyle habits. Quitting smoking and cutting back on sugar intake will benefit your skin as this effects your skin in a number of ways: smoking can cause accelerated ageing (crepiness, dryness) and high sugar intake can spike your glucose levels and cause inflammation and breakouts. You may benefit from Botox in the future but as your lines are dynamic you won't see much improvement in your skin at this point as the substance dissolves within 6 months, by which time your lines will likely not have worsened without it. 

I would recommend botox to relax the forehead muscles that are causing the wrinkles to form. 

Botox will also help from a preventative point of view and reduce the chances of this line becoming deeper. 

It's great to also get on top of the lifestyle factors you have also outlined. 

Yes, Botox is a good option for this area and if used early, can slow a deeper wrinkle from forming. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for your photographs and questions.  Botox injections properly placed in the area you are describing between your brows is an excellent option for you.  Botox (and also Dysport and Xeomen) will interact with the muscle causing less contracture and therefore decrease creasing and lines.  Best to consult with an experienced injector to discuss your particular concerns.  Best of luck.

Botox helps with lines and wrinkles. Your forehead line is multifacforial, but will likely respond nicely to Botox or Dysport. If you don't stop smoking you will age much faster. Botox can slow down the aging process, but not if you're smoking :(Best wishes, Dr. Aldo

Botox can soften forehead lines and prevent them from deepening.  Your forehead movements must be assessed by an experienced injector to determine the correct dosage for you.  Good luck with your healthy changes.

The lines are just beginning, and not too bad at all exp for a 32 year old "skin abuser!" Everybody loves sugar and nobody looks after their skin perfectly lol.

Anyway yes botox would soften the line, and more importantly prevent it getting worse. My threshold for 'should you treat' is if you can answer yes to the following three questions then you should get botox.

1. Do you actually have lines?

2. Do they annoy you?

3. Can you afford it?



If 3 yes's then do it botox will prevent the line from getting deeper.

Thank you for your question. Botox works by blocking signals from the nerves to the muscles. The injected muscle then can no longer contract, which causes the wrinkles to relax and soften. Your forehead line should respond well to Botox. As you know, if you do not stop smoking you will age much faster. I recommend having a consultation with an expert injector in your area to determine the best treatment plan for you. Best of Luck!

The lines you are talking about are lines that occur when the muscles are used and these are the perfect lines for treatment with Botox so go for it. Be sure you choose an experienced dermatologist or plastic surgeon and stick with your new life style. congratulations

So your description of your lifestyle and the line make me think now is the perfect time for you to have botox to your forehead, both for now and for prevention in the futureEven if it isn't for you, the effect of having only one botox treatment will offer some long lasting improvement, but in my practice, botox has become part of people annual routine like the hairdresser or dentist. Hope that helps. Adam Goodwin
