How to treat angry/sad brows with botox? And what will it cost me?

Botox can be injected into several places around the brow for improvement. This is a great non-surgical treatment, and should be provided by an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for sharing your question.  Botox can be used to effectively treat the muscles between a patient's eyes, preventing this "angry" appearance.  Costs will vary geographically so I would recommend seeing a series of board certified plastic surgeons in your area to have an accurate idea of cost.  Hope this helps.

Yes those are perfect indications for Botox.  It takes about 3 to 4 minutes to do this procedure and results last about 3 months.  Cost is about $150

Thank you for your question jamesdeandays2. Botox is a purified protein used to treat a variety of wrinkles on the face including the frown lines, the vertical lines seen between the brown when we frown. Based on the pivotal studies, 20 units of Botox is used in this area and patients enjoy their results for three to four months. In my experience some patients require even more. Men, for example, have larger muscles than women on the face as well as the body so a higher dose is required.The cost of Botox varies from one region to another. I do not know the costs in Turkey, TX. In the Los Angeles area, prices range from $8 to $17 per unit.In our office we treat patients as young as 18 with Botox. The safety of Botox has not been tested in people younger than 18.I recommend consulting with a doctor for specific recommendations. Good luck!

Angry brows are created by the tension and pull of the muscles around the eyes.A neurotoxin such as Botox, Dysport, or Xeomin relaxes those muscles to give a more refreshed appearance by diminishing tension and wrinkling of the skin around the eyes. A consultation is necessary to evaluate the specific muscles in your face that create your angry/tired appearance. I always start with a conservative dose for first time patients. It's easy to touch-up with more. Safety comes first.
