How Do I Get Rid of the Horizontal Crease Between my Eyes?

 

At the very top of my nose, between my eyes is a crease that appears as if my forehead is slipping down, which it probably is because when I put on a tight headband it lifts and softens. Would botox help with this?

 

Most of the time, wrinkles between the eyes are vertical (i.e. frown lines). However prominent horizontal lines are likely to be the result of excess activity with the proceris muscle.  Injecting Botox in this area should help.

You may still see a visible line after the Botox treatment. Botox will only address the muscle component of wrinkles. However, if the line is etched into the skin, a dermal filler might be needed to improve the appearance of this area in a more complete fashion.  

 

Most likely, Botox will help reduce the appearance of the creases between your eyes. You should consult in person with a facial plastic surgeon to make sure Botox is the correct treatment. If you have more severe sagging, other treatments might be better.

When the forehead appears to be hanging down as a shelf over the crease, Botox often helps lift the glabella and the line improves. It might be prudent to not treat the upper forehead the same day and ensure that you get a good result because treatment of the upper forehead can cause it to lower and fight against the good result that the botox glabellar treatment provides.
