HI AM I CORRECT THAT THIS CAN BE TREATED WITH BOTOX? IT DEEPENS AS I FROWN BUT IT STILL SHOWS ON A RESTING FACE AND ON CERTAIN LIGHTS IF BOTOX HELPS, HOW MAY UNITS WILL IT NEED? ARE THERE ANY OTHER ALTERNATE TREATMENT? (NOT FILLERS)

Answer: Botox for dimple Thanks for your question. The answer depends on whether the area in question is tethered to the underlying tissue or just skin that is dimpled in . You could always try Botox to see if it helps and the good thing is, it wears off after a few months, so you are not making a long term commitment if you don't think it helped. The forehead can take anywhere from 8 units to soften, up to 20 in some pateints with very strong frontalis muscles and a high forehead. Ask your dermatologist about microneedling and laser procedures as well. Please see an expert, and best of luck.

Answer: Dimple on forehead In my experience, "dimples" that appear on the forehead which are clearly the result of facial muscle movement can be well addressed with Botox injections. The amount used will depend on the surrounding skin and need for keeping balance of the muscle contractions. Your photo is difficult to judge, yet I would pursue an in person consultation with a dermatologist or plastic surgeon.
