I’m 30 and have been getting receiving Botox every 2.5-3 months for the last year and a half and have some static lines on my 11s My Botox has softened the lines but they are still there and bother me a lot. I know filler in the forehead area has a lot of risks so I'm not interested in having that done but I’ve been researching Fraxel/CO2 laser. Is it worth the investment to get this done? Will I see improvements in my 11s?
