I have tried Botox twice now (20 units each time), chemical peels, and months of retinol cream. None of that has made any improvements. I have met with a few more doctors that just say I need to keep trying Botox, but I am getting very discouraged because I feel like it's not working. I am not squinting in either photo, that's how it is when my face is relaxed.
Answer: Botox Thank you for your question in regards to Botox. It appears that your glabella muscles are quite strong and would require a higher dose of Botox rather than just 20 units. To be sure what is best for you, see two or more board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have treatment. I hope this helps.

Answer: Deep frown lines still present after Botox Dear a.jones11:This is one of those situations where you can be advised much more intelligently via an in-person consultation. There are two possible explanations: 1. You had no muscle relaxation whatsoever from Botox, in which case you should consult a board-certified advanced injector, a dermatologist or plastic surgeon, who performs these procedures daily. 2. You have developed these deep furrows from years of contracting your brows strongly, and relaxing them will not smooth them over unless you keep up the injections every four months (or just before the effect wears off) so that the muscles have an opportunity to become smaller over time. (Think of what happens when you cast a broken arm--because the muscles have not been contracting, they are smaller when you remove the cast.) If this is the case, which I think is more likely, you can have a filler carefully injected in the folds to smooth them over in the meantime. You can also consider having Ultherapy to the skin above the brows, which will help to tighten and lift the skin permanently.It may be hard for you to tell which explanation is correct. Try frowning as hard as you can. Are your frown lines less deep when you do that than they were before the treatment? In that case, the second explanation is more likely.All the best,Dr. Clark

Answer: How do I fix these indents between my brows? Thank you for your question. It will most likely be in your best interest to have a combination of Botox and fillers. Typically those muscles are large from use over time. Botox can help to weaken the muscle and make it smaller. The filler will help to smooth the lines or "indents". Hope this helps,
