Is it normal to still have visible wrinkles after Botox injections between the eyebrows?

Yes, it is possible some wrinkles will remain after Botox injections. The neuromodulator targets dynamic wrinkles, which are those that appear when you make certain facial expressions. At first, the lines only appear when you make those expressions, but over time, they can become permanent. Botox relaxes the muscles to smooth away wrinkles, which will have an excellent effect in the early stages but may not be a complete solution once the lines become permanent. At that point, you might need a combination of Botox and a dermal filler to achieve the results you want. Work with a board-certified dermatologist who is an expert in injectable treatments to get the best possible results from your treatments. 

Thank you for your question. Botox is a neuromodulator that works by relaxing the muscles that lead to the formation of wrinkles. However, if those lines have become permanently etched on the skin, Botox alone may not be enough to eliminate them entirely. I recommend you see a board-certified dermatologist for your next treatment who can evaluate your concerns, discuss your goals and devise a treatment plan customized to your precise needs and desired results. Good luck to you!

Hello and thank you for your question. Botox is a neuromodulator that works by relaxing the muscles that lead to the formation of some types of wrinkles. These lines typically appear when you make certain facial expressions like frowning or squinting. At first, the lines are only present with those expressions but over time, they can become more permanently etched into the face. At this point, Botox can be very effective in minimizing the wrinkles, but may not eliminate them entirely. However, there are treatments that can be combined with Botox to enhance results. I encourage you to work with a board-certified plastic surgeon who has a menu of treatment options and can tailor your procedures to your precise needs.

Yes, you can still have visible wrinkles if you have Botox injections. Botox is really geared towards treating fine lines and wrinkles that appear during facial expressions. Dermal fillers on the other hand will address fine lines and wrinkles that are always there, even when your face is at rest. I recommend that you book an in-person complimentary consultation with a registered nurse injector at a certified clinic that offers other kinds of treatments as well, not only Botox. They will be able to assess if Botox is the right treatment for you or if you might need another type of treatment for the wrinkles that concern you, or possibly a combination of both.

That is a great question. Yes, Botox improves the overall movement of the muscles from  functioning by stopping the muscle from contracting. However, if the wrinkle has become etched in the skin and is present when the muscle is not functioning, Botox will not eliminate the wrinkle, but it will soften it the more frequently you get Botox which is usually recommended every 3-4 months. There are other things you can do such as filler or mirconeedling which can help improve the deeper lines as well. Hopefully that is helpful I do recommended seeing an injector who has been injecting for 3+ years so that you are able to hear about all the options possible to help improve those lines. I hope this was helpful information,Have a great day!Dr. Pryor
 

Depending on the depth of your wrinkles prior to Botox it is possible for them to still be present after treatment.  The treatment should have softened the look however.  I encourage you to return for an evaluation.  If you are still able to move the area freely it may be that a touch up is needed.

Hello and thank you for your question .  Your provider is right, not all wrinkles can smooth out, especially if they are deeper lines.   You can try a hyluronic acid filler like restylane or juvederm to fill in the lines that botox doesn't completely smooth out.

Yes. Botox works on dynamic lines or the lines that appear when you use your muscles.  It doesn't not act like an eraser and get rid of static lines or the lines you have at rest.  Over time, with continued use of Botox, the static lines will improve.  Always seek treatment from a qualified physician.

Yes, it is normal to still have visible wrinkles after Botox injections.  Botox will improve injected areas but can only do so much in one session.  While fine lines are likely to disappear, deeper lines and wrinkles that have been formed over years of use, may only be softened or may require us of a filler.  

Botox relaxes the muscles, inhibiting the movement that causes the lines that are bothering you. Deeper lines may still be present even though we've relaxed the movement. These will require multiple, regular treatments to further soften the lines. I also recommend microneedling in conjunction to stimulate collagen and further soften the lines.
