What's the best treatment for fine lines and thin wrinkles? Mostly under eyes and cheeks seen when skin is pulled (smiling). From sun damage and aging. Would Botox work or more like a skin cream?

Hi and thanks for your question. Your egg allergy should not be a problem. I agree with Dr. Steinsapir that if you are very concerned you can get a quick skin test.

The Botox brow lift can elevate the brows 1-2mm but will not change the size of a forehead. The function of Botox is to relax muscles and help reduce fine lines.
