Is It Possible to Use Restylane Only for Frown Lines? Not Botox?

Angharad
I've had the misfortune of having a permanent frown line between my eyebrows - when frowning AND relaxing - since the age of 22. Seven years later I finally decided to try botox, and had an injection four days ago. While I enjoy seeing my smooth brow, the injection has not completely erased the frown line, and I don't like my stiff, funny expression when I try to raise my eyebrows and only the edges are elevated. When the botox has worn off, can I get an effect from restylane only?
