I’ve never had any injection on my face before, but really considering using Botox for my 11 lines area. Is it true that regular Botox use can actually retrain certain muscles to move less, leading to smoother skin with less Botox over time for that specific area?
Answer: Botox in the frown lines Hello and thank you for your question. It is always best to see you face to face for a consult and examination however in this case botox is a great choice for 11 lines. If you have several treatments at 3 month intervals you will find that you can go lomger between future appointments but if you leave it the same movement will always come back. I hope that helps answer your question. Always seek an experienced and qualified medical professional for these treatments. Very best wishes

Answer: Botox for glabellar lines The use of neuromodulators such as Botox may lead to improvement in static and dynamic lines of the glabella due to weakening or decreased muscle movement. Some studies have suggested the rare possibility of decreased movement even when the neuromodulators have worn off. It is advised you discuss this with your treating provider.

Answer: Botox Hi saisaiso81! Botox works by temporarily relaxing facial muscles in order to smooth fine lines and wrinkles, but it does not retrain muscles to move less. The muscles can weaken over time for the patient's who routinely get Botox injections. I hope this was helpful!

Answer: Glabellar Lines / 11s / Frown Lines -- Neuromodulators (Botox/Dysport/Xeomin/Jeuveau), Fillers, Lasers, Microneedling/PRP "For glabellar lines (or frown lines / ""11"" lines), we inject Botox, Xeomin, or Dysport into the muscle, causing the muscle to weaken and improving the appearance of the lines. These work by binding to receptors that send nerve signals for muscles to contract. Since your body makes new receptors and neurotransmitters all the time, it needs to be maintained otherwise the wrinkles will slowly return as the muscle regains function over time. Neurotoxins take 2 to 4 weeks to start working and lasts for up to 6 months.

Answer: Botox for Glabella Botox use doesn't retrain muscles as your facial expressions are "hardwired" from the brain to the nerves to the muscles. What Botox does is prevents the muscles from being stimulated by the nerves and thus, they relax the muscle for 3-4mo but when it wears off the muscles have their full capacity again. With repeated injections of botox you will have continued improvement of your wrinkles but with age usually we see people need a higher dose as the years go on since there are more wrinkles as the skin ages. I hope this helps!
