I get glabellar lines after I wake up from my sleep. I was interested in knowing if this is due to my sleep position or if this is due to myself squinting in sleep? Can sleep position cause glabellar lines? Does botox help if it was due to sleep position?
Answer: Botox for frown lines Hi @realsisa! Botox works by temporarily paralyzing the targeted muscles. This is an excellent treatment to reduce appearance of wrinkles. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!

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: Can my sleeping position cause glabellar lines? Will Botox help? Hello, Thank you for your question. Botox injection is an excellent treatment to smooth the 11 lines/glabella and typically requires 15-20 Units. Botox works by temporarily paralyzing the targeted muscles and results typically last 3-4 months. The way you are sleeping, does not significantly affect the glabellar lines. I would recommend an in person consultation with a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon, in order to discuss your goals and concerns for the best cosmetic results. I hope this helps. Best regards, Dr. Karanetz Dr. Irena KaranetzFellowship-TrainedBoard Certified Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Sleep lines Hello and thank you for your question. You can develop lines on the surface of the skin from sleeping however not usually in the glabellar. Glabellar lines can be very effectively treated with Botox but lines due to sleep are more challenging as Botox targets lines caused by muscle movement. The best option would be to go to clinic for an in person assessment. Please always seek an experienced and qualified injector. Hope this helps, Best wishes

Answer: Botox Botox is commonly used for the glabella area to soften dynamic lines. It's difficult to say if your sleeping position is causing them or if they are more pronounced after sleep. Visit with an experienced injector near you for treatment. You will be able to see final results after 2 weeks.
