My first time with Botox I had a very pushy consultant who tried to keep pushing more but I had done some research before and really didn’t think that I needed much for my first time. They injected so much Tox into the Glabella area that it froze completely which was NOT the results I wanted. I only went to treat forehead lines but know both areas need to be treated together. My question is: when going for forehead touchup, does Glabella need to be treated again if it is still not moving?

Answer: Botox Can Be Used Selectively To Treat A Problem Area; It's Not That Everything Needs Treatment At Once I have been injecting Botox for cosmetic reasons since 1991. First, Botox can and should be injected to treat the areas that the individual finds problematic. That means if the forehead is the problem, yes, it can be selectively treated without touching other areas. It's absolutely NOT an all or nothing treatment modality. Second, no experienced physician injector these days (and for at least the past fifteen years) tries to freeze any area; it simply does not look natural and natural results are the goal. After all, if you look at young children, they can freely emote, but when at rest, the forehad and area between their eyebrows are smooth. And that's the current goal of Botox treatment.--natural looking results. Finally, if one encounters a "pushy" consultant, that should be reason enough not to seek treatment there. A consultant is just that: an experienced injector who works with you to understand your goals and to set realistic goals, but certainly not to push you in any particular direction, such as doing more than you want or can afford. You would be wise to consult with an experienced, board certified cosmetic dermatologist. Best of luck going forward.

Answer: Glabellar Botox In short, yes. When treating the forehead lines, botox has the ability to cause heaviness in the forehead causing the brows/eyelids to lower. To combat this, and to give the brows a nice lift, the glabellar portion needs to be treated.
