I have permanent furrows between my brows--Botox really doesn't help as it seems that there's simply too much lax skin between my brows. It's like my face caved in a bit between the eyes, if that makes sense. What are my options to fix? I've wondered about temple filler--when I pull back my temple skin, the furrows smooth out and widen my eyes. What about laser skin tightening? RF between my brows?
Answer: Glabellar Lines / 11s / Frown Lines -- Neuromodulators (Botox/Dysport/Xeomin/Jeuveau), Fillers, Lasers, Microneedling/PRP Thank you for your question! I would check and make sure that an appropriate amount of Botox was used. For glabellar lines (or frown lines / "11" lines), we inject Botox into the muscle, causing the muscle to weaken and improving the appearance of the lines. Botox works 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. Botox takes 2 to 4 weeks to start working and lasts for up to 6 months.

Answer: Brow Furrows You will want to begin by ensuring that the dose you are receiving for Botox is correct. If you are still able to furrow your brow after Botox is in full effect then more product may be indicated. You can also consider FaceTite for the brow area to help improve and lift the skin in this area. This is a nonsurgical procedure that is done in the office setting.

Answer: Brow furrows Brow furrows can be softened with botox. If you do not want to do that and want something more permanent, then an endoscopic or open corrugator removal is an option. Best of luck.

Answer: Brow Furrows Hello, and thank you for your question and photos! The first step would be to ensure you are having an adequate amount of Botox between the brows to completely relax the muscles that cause the brow to furrow. If you are being treated appropriately and are still seeing lines between the brows, I would recommend a combination treatment with radiofrequency laser skin tightening and microneedling with PRP. These treatments will be stimulate collagen in the area and help soften lines and wrinkles. As always, ensure you are using physician-grade skincare to help plump the skin to decrease the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. I hope this helps!

Answer: How to address 11 lines Hello! Without any question, your 11 lines and the appearance of your eye unit would both greatly be improved with a brow lift. I would then continue to use a neuromodulator on your glabella to keep your 11 lines from progressing. Best of luck!
