My glabella is in a permanent frown and it is very ageing. I have had Botox to relax it but it didn't work. I had acne when I was younger and it was very severe in that area so it is quite scarred. I was told that filler is too much a risk as there is an artery there. I am not keen on thermage or ultherapy as it seems people have had bad experiences on here. I just wanted to ask some experts for their opinions/recommendation.
Answer: Dermal filler Hi @Ibk83! If you have a permanent wrinkle on your glabella that cannot be addressed with Botox, I would recommend a hyaluronic acid based filler. That being said, the glabella area is a risky area to inject dermal fillers. I recommend seeking treatments from expert injectors who have the skill and experience to precisely inject fillers into treatment areas and avoid risks and complications.

Answer: Deep Furrows in the Frown For the deep furrows, I would recommend that you add fillers to the Botox. Fillers can be injected to this area safely with the right technique. It can smooth out this area because you need some volume. If you like the result then you will need to do the Botox with filler as the Botox will help protect the filler from being worn down by your muscles. As always, find an injector with the skills and experience to give you the best result with the lowest risk as possible.

Answer: Glabellar area So to give you a good recommendation one has to look at the area in static and dynamic state to see if theses are dynamic or static wrinkles. Regular botox does help in softening the wrinkles but if these are static then fillers is a great option and they are completely safe in that area. Every part of the face has arteries so the technique is important but in good hands can give you excellent results.

Answer: Permanent frown lines I'm sorry to hear that your battle against glabellar frown lines has been unsatisfying so far! The corrugator muscles that act in this area can be very strong and years of making expressions that activate them (frowning, concentrating, looking at a monitor for long periods) along with acne scarring can make treatment a little more involved.
