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: 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. For deeper glabella lines or strong 11s, I use a combination of Botox with fillers, lasers and microneedling with PRP. I suggest getting a formal evaluation with an experienced cosmetic dermatologist and expert in lasers and fillers. Best, Dr. Emer "

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!
