Can Botox work on frown lines in isolation?

Botox was originally used exclusively for treating frown lines back in the very late '80s. It was in fact the FIRST aesthetic use of Botox. So, the answer to your question is a resounding, Yes, of course it can." As to the muscles of your forehead being frozen, this is certainly undesirable and freezing of muscles has been considered poor practice for at least the past 15 or more years. The object is not to freeze muscles to the point of creating a Kabuki dancer's face, but simple to calm the overactive muscles of facial expression whose repetitive movements are leading to the creasing of the overlying skin. Even a five year-old child is able to emote, so freezing of the muscles is simply unnatural and undesirable. You would be wise to make sure that you are consulting a board certified aesthetic physician with experience and expertise. Best of luck.

Hello and thank you for your question. We always recommend a face-to-face consultation for advice however from what you have provided here yes botox can be injected just to the frown which will not drop the brows or make you feel heavy- if you still want the horizontal forehead lines treated this can be with a veyry small dose of botox in the forehead.
I hope that helps, please always a seek a qualified and experienced practitioner for any cosmetic treatment, best wishes

Thank you for sharing your question and photograph. Yes you can treat just the frown lines and not the forehead lines if you prefer. Hope this helps.
