Deep/etched wrinkle still present after Botox (Photo)

Asked By:Honest337203 in New York, New York

Hello, I have been getting botox routinely since June 2020. I also get monthly microneedling at 1mm depth on my forehead (had about 4 times). I have also have one treatment with Vivace Rf in august 2020. However, I still have a deep wrinkle in my forehead. Strangely, it is only present in certain lightings. Up close, the wrinkle looks very fine. But, the shadowing makes the line very prominent if the light source is above my head. Anyone have any suggestions? I also use tretinoin .05.
