Radiesse Vs Restylane for Deep Frown Lines.

HI ELO,

The best treatment for glabellar lines (frown lines) is combining a filler (Restylane or Juvederm) with a neuromodulator (Botox, Dysport, or Xeomin).  Stay away from Radiesse injections in this area!

Dysport does work, but perhaps your injector either misplaced the injections or did not use the proper dosage.

When the glabellar line is filled and the muscles weakened simultaneously, there is a synergistic effect where the line often does not come back even when the Botox and filler would have worn off.

Choose your injecting physician most carefully.  Good luck and be well.

As there are many blood vessels between the eyebrows, many expert fillers such as myself avoid the use of thicker fillers in this area, to avoid occluding (blocking) any of these important vessels.  Juvederm and Restylane are great choices and can often laser over a year in this area if Botox is concurrently done.  Radiesse, Juvederm Plus and Perlane, on the other hand, I avoid in this area.
