I’ve been getting Botox consistently for the past two years for my glabellar. While it has helped with stopping the muscle I notice there is still a crease between my brows under certain light and angles. I just don’t know what else to do. I am scared of filler because of the potential risk for blindness. Any recommendations that would get rid of this crease? I’m have a really strong muscle and get about 25 units.
Answer: Continue with Botox Expressive glabellar lines may have some static component to them. This component unfortunately cannot be corrected with Botox. I would continue with Botox injections since they at least improve the appearance of your glabellar lines and it will also prevent them from getting worse in the future. I don’t recommend fillers in this situation because of the risks associated with injections in this area.

Answer: Glabella lines despite Botox treatment Well unfortunately you are blessed with very strong corrugator muscles between your brows. Botox (or any of the other neurotoxins) should help considerably, but may not get rid of the line completely. I do not recommend filler in this area. RF microneedling may help some (Virtue, Morpheus, etc). Hope that helps!

Answer: Glabellar crease If you are still able to animate the area between your brows after your Botox treatment then additional units of Botox may help. If you are not you can consider other options to improve facial contours such as lasers or Morpheus8. I've included a video that I hope you find helpful.

Answer: Injection of filler or fat grafts to permanent glabellar crease What you seem to have is a depression, permanent crease in the glabella which will diminish but not completely disappear after neurotoxin injection. Injection of filler or fat graft in the area will correct it. Good luck.

Answer: Treating Glabellar "Frown Lines" I have routinely been treating this very common problem for many years with very gratifying and durable results. Glabellar "frown lines" result from two underlying causes, both of which should ideally be treated in order to achieve satisfying and durable results. The underlying cause of these lines is typically the daily repetitive movement of the muscles of expression located there, which we tend to use numerous times each day. Over the years, especially as we enter midlife, the overlying :"fabric" of our skin becomes permanently etched and creased, so that even when the underlying muscles are at rest, the skin continues to show the "frown lines." as is the case here. So, for best and more durable cosmetic improvement, a two-pronged approach is used. Botox can be used to address the movements of the underlying muscles (The intent is not to "freeze" the muscles so that you cannot emote, but rather to diminish their overactivity), and a low viscosity, malleable, cohesive HA filler can be used to elevate and smooth the creases in the "fabric" of the skin. In the hands of an experienced, board certified cosmetic dermatologist filler expert, the very superficially placed injections needed to achieve elevation and smoothing of the etched lines typically poses little risk. Please note: unfortunately, the hard science to promote the use of so-many of today's expensive, here-today-gone tomorrow light and energy-based gizmos, like fraxel lasers, RF devices, etc, lags woefully behind the heavy marketing and social media buzz that hawks them. So, you would be wise to exercise a whole lot of "buyer beware" when being presented with these types of options Hope this helps and best of luck.
