Hello: I am currently in Italy, and my doctor is reluctant to give me botox in the forehead area because he said that over time, use of botox in this area makes the forehead grow bigger. He also consistently mentions that I have big forehead for this reason. Is this true? Any studies? Commonly shared theory? Have you seen this over time in your practice? Thanks

Thank you for your question. I don’t believe you have anything to worry about. However, I do recommend informing your injector. You can expect to see maximum effects of Botox in about 2 weeks. Best of Luck!
Dear Arraace12,
Thank you for your question. Please be rest assured that your Botox and Filler will not be affected by the use of a steam room or sauna.
Hope this puts your mind at ease.
Best wishes,

Hi Beam. If you are referring to the laugh lines around the mouth, then dermal fillers would be the product you are looking for. Botox is great for the upper face (frown lines and crow's feet), but dermal fillers are best below the eyes in the cheeks and around the mouth.
