I'm 26 and my glabella lines are becoming visible. I stopped doing botox last year and will now resume to prevent further damage.. But how do I completely erase the lines that already appeared? They're etched in enough you can see them very visibly in person, but not deep enough to take a good photo. Recommended treatments?

Answer: Glabellar Lines / 11s / Frown Lines -- Neuromodulators (Botox/Dysport/Xeomin/Jeuveau), Fillers, Lasers, Microneedling/PRP For glabellar lines (or frown lines / "11" lines), we inject Botox, Xeomin, or Dysport into the muscle, causing the muscle to weaken and improving the appearance of the lines. These work by binding to receptors that send nerve signals for muscles to contract. Since your body makes new receptors and neurotransmitters all the time, it needs to be maintained otherwise the wrinkles will slowly return as the muscle regains function over time. Neurotoxins take 2 to 4 weeks to start working and lasts for up to 6 months. For deeper glabella lines or strong 11s, I use a combination of Botox with fillers, lasers and microneedling with PRP. I suggest getting a formal evaluation with an experienced cosmetic dermatologist and expert in lasers and fillers. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Botox and skin care Botox is the best preventative solution, so I would suggest keeping that up. As for any subtle lines, there are skin treatments like microneedling and lasers that can help to reduce or erase any damage that is already there. I would suggest looking into skincare treatments at medical spas to see what options they have.
