I have had Botox on my frown lines in my forehead two weeks ago. I didn't have very deep lines before Botox. It has been two weeks now and I still see static lines between my eyebrows where I got the Botox. Can I still have a top up of Botox in those lines I can still see? This is the first time I have had Botox. I've previously (3 times) have had dysport and my lines have always smoothed and all lines disappeared completely, even to the point where my pores were smoothed as well.

Answer: Botox question If you still have static lines, yet the muscles are not working, it implies that the lines are very deep and they will need a few more weeks to get smoother. In some cases when the lines are so severe they need to be treated with fillers on top of botox. Good luck for New York City

Answer: Static lines following Botox Thank you for your question. If you have no movement, then the Botox has done what it can to treat your frown lines. I cannot explain why your static lines are not as smooth with Botox as they were with Dysport. The only plausible explanation I can come up is that you may have some residual movement or recruitment of muscles that is preventing the full relaxation of the muscle complex comprising your frown. Since Dysport has a larger area of migration, it may have picked up the remaining muscle complex. I would suggest re-evaluation by your injector to see if they can visualize any remaining muscle contractions that may be contributing to your frown. I would consider switching back to Dysport with your next treatment since that work well for you in the past.I hope this was helpful - Dr. Moore.
