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

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

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.

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. 

Botox is the most effective treatment for angry brows.  It is used to relax the muscle called the glabella that makes frown lines between the brows.  Price can vary widely.  It will depend on your location and provider's experience. It can cost between $200-400.

Botox injection into the upper face (frown lines, forehead lines, and crow's feet) can results in a more open appearance of the eyes as well as raised brows. This gives the eyes a more refreshed and rejuvenated look. I recommend you see an experienced injector for an in-patient consultation. Pricing depends on region, about of Botox required, and experience of injector and I honestly do not have pricing information for Texas. 

A photo would allow for more personalized advice. Well-placed Botox injections can lift the brow, but only a certain amount. A brow lift can give you more lift if your skin is lax and your brow has dropped, but that usually occurs at a more mature age (late 40s, 50s, 60s). If a brow is really dropped/ptotic, Botox can actually make things worse as you can't use your muscles to elevate your forehead/brow. I do not know what the minimum age is for Botox in Turkey, but in the United States, it is age 18 for cosmetic use.

Please consult a cosmetic dermatologist or plastic surgeon to see if Botox would help your angry/sad appearance.  The cost would be determined by the amount needed and would be addressed at your consultation.

Cost all depends upon what areas you want addressed.  Most injectors charge per the unit, which for experienced and reputable injectors can be up to $12-13/unit.  Sometimes specials will be run in the $10 range, but I wouldn't advise going places only charging less than that.  There is often a reason they are charging so low, and it isn't usually favorable.  Between the brows for the "11's" most need 16-24 units, and rarely more.  Crows feet can range from just 4 units per side to much more depending upon the patient's wrinkles, muscles, and wishes.  Botox or other wrinkle blockers (Xeomin, Dysport) are fantastic for sad or angry looking eye brows.  This is one of the safest and most commonly treated areas.  Best regards.
