Can Botox help with this frowning issue? I am 26 and do not (yet) have frown lines. (Photos)

Thank you for your question and photograph.
From your pictures, it does appear that a neuromodulator, such as Botox
Cosmetic, could improve the constant frowning of your brows. I recommend
scheduling an in-person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon,
experienced in injectable and noninvasive treatments. At this time, he/she can
perform an evaluation to determine if Botox could be the right choice for your
needs.

Yes, Botox can be used to improve this. It takes 1-2 weeks for final results with Botox and they resolve in 3-4 months. Hope this helps.

Hi rkcme, 
Thank you for your question. It does appear as though your Corrugator Supercilii and Procerus muscles may be overly active, causing you to appear as though you are frowning at rest. Botox injection at the Glabella/Frown Lines could improve this problem by relaxing these muscles. I encourage you to visit with an expert injector or Board Certified Plastic Surgeon to discuss this procedure.

Hello- yes you are a perfect candidate for Botox (or any of the other botulinum toxins) to the area between your eyebrows to reduce the contraction of your glabellar muscles. It appears you have a genetic configuration of a low brow position and strong glabellar muscles that are causing furrows- Botox can soften these furrows and elevate the brows.  Botox is not permanent and very low risk and so undergoing a treatment just to “try it out” is very reasonable. Good luck!

We often develop wrinkles due to subconscious movements, not just from frowning, but also from squinting (another reason to wear sunglasses or proper prescription glasses), or thinking. Botox is still the best treatment for dynamic/movement wrinkles such as in your case. Best to see a highly trained and experienced physician injector such as a dermatologist for optimal results and safety.

Based on the photo, I do think you may benefit from treatment with a neuromodulator like Botox or Dysport. Good luck!

Botox is generally recommended when there are visible lines at rest. From your photo this would be appear to be the case for you, even if it is just to relax the muscle so the dips are less.
You will need consultant which should include looking at how the lines are affected by movement. Botox works by stopping the movement and if the doctor feels that stopping the movement would have no benefit then there is no point in having the treatment as it will not change the lines. Your photo suggests that you would benefit, bt this does need to be checked at consultation

Botox can absolutely help! It will soften the lines - and help keep you from developing deep lines.

Hi. From the photo you posted it does look like Botox would help. I would recommend at least trying Botox injections once to see if this relaxes the muscle and improves the frowning appearance. If you try it and there is no change then you know Botox is not the answer and there is no harm in at least trying the injections. If the Botox does make a difference then you should keep up with your treatments every 3-4 months. Hope this information was helpful.                                                                                     

Good morning and thank you for your message.  Your pictures are very helpful.  It seems that you have strong corregator muscles which can be a hereditary trait.  Botox could be an excellent choice for you.  Once those strong muscles are continually working out and becoming stronger, they will eventually cause a permanent crease in your skin as you get older.  Ideally, for Botox (or any neurotoxin) to be most beneficial is when those muscles can be temporarily weakened before a wrinkle exists.  With maintenance, you can theoretically prevent those wrinkles from presenting themselves for years and years to come.
Thank you for your message and I wish you the very best of luck.
Sincerely,
Dr. Aimee Nguyen
