After 20 units my face unchanged. I don't have deep lines but my face looks like an accordion when I raise my eyebrows. I am 47 White male.
Answer: Botox dosing male patient It is difficult to assess without knowing the actual points of injection. That being said I typically use a minimum of 40 units to treat the Glabella in my male patients and an adittional 20 to 40 units to treat the forehead. You should follow up with your injector or consider finding a more experienced injector in your area. 20 units is a very low dose on any male at any age.Best regards, Dr. P

Answer: Wrinkles after botox It is likely that the provider may have only injected the Glabella region and not the forehead. You likely need injections in the forehead to weaken the Frontalis muscle and get rid of the "accordion" face. I would address this with your provider who I am sure will be glad to talk with you about further injections.

Answer: Botox for forehead wrinkles More than likely you had Botox injected in the area called the glabella (in the muscles known as the procerus and corrugators), which helps with frown lines - this is the 1st place most injectors put Botox. Treatment of this area alone is not enough to get rid of forehead lines...Botox in the forehead is needed for this. I would suggest finding a provider who takes good before and after pictures, who understands your concerns, and who has solid reviews on line. One other note - not everyone is a candidate for Botox in the forehead, so a thorough evaluation of your facial musculature is essential prior to treatment.

Answer: Botox Followup Thank you for your question. I am sorry to hear about your concerns. It is hard to say if you need additional Botox without knowing the areas injected as well as seeing you in person. If you are unhappy with your results I would recommend to followup with your provider to see if additional treatment is recommended. Best wishes.

Answer: Botox for Forehead Wrinkles--Add Belotero or Juvederm--Lasers for Anti-Aging--See an Expert It's difficult to determine without pictures. However, for forehead wrinkles a combination approach is best. Forehead wrinkles need a combination of fillers, botox, lasers and microneedling/PRP for improvement. Best, Dr. Emer.
