Hi, I have very light wrinkles between my brows and I went to see a specialist who recommended (as a preventive measure) botox injections but with the choice to inject it in the whole forehead (including the glabella area) or just the glabella area. Of course, the last option is less expensive. I was wondering which option was more recommended? Can injecting only my glabella area mess up my facial expression? Thanks! Chloe
Answer: Glabellar Lines / 11 Lines / Frown Lines -- Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, Preventative Treatments for Forehead, Eyes, Chin, Nose, Neck A formal evaluation would be necessary to determine which treatments would benefit you most. Botox / Dysport / Xeomin would definitely help with the glabellar / 11 lines. Additionally, many of my patients use Botox as a preventative measure to soften the appearance of premature facial wrinkles on the forehead, eyes (Crow’s Feet), chin, nose, and even neck bands/lines.The amount of injection is really a matter of expertise. Too high a dose gives a "frozen," unnatural look but gives a longer result. Too little a dose and very little change is seen. So there is an art to injection placement and dosing for each person; it must be customized. I suggest getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Botox treatment areas It is your choice to either treat just the glabellar lines or address the forehead at the same time. If you don’t see noticeable horizontal lines on the forehead when you raise your eyebrows, you do not have to treat both areas. Make sure you are working with a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist that is also a Botox expert to ensure the treatment you receive will give you the best possible results.

Answer: Glabella area first I’m not a fan of preventative Botox treatments. If you don’t currently have horizontal creases across your forehead, then you will not gain any benefit from gettting Botox injections in your forehead. It is wise to treat what exactly is bothering you first, see the results, and then decide if you want other areas treated. Also, only injecting your glabellar area will not alter the remainder of your facial expression. My advice is to go ahead and treat the glabella area. Best of luck.

Answer: Botox Thank you for your question.If you have never had botox done before, I would recommend just starting with the glabella area. Once you see the results, then you can always add more. Otherwise, if you do both at the same time and do not like the result you have to wait for it to wear off.

Answer: Botox Since your wrinkles are very mild, my general advice is less is more, especially since you have never had injections of Botox before. Start off with the glabella for your first treatment. If you are happy with your appearance you can always add in the forehead at a subsequent treatment. You can always do more but you cant do less!
