Cause of vertical depression lines on forehead? Been receiving Botox every 3 months for 1 1/2 years. (photos)

Asked By:LJLJ9922

I’ve been receiving Botox, every 3 months, for 1.5 years to treat deep, horizontal forehead lines. Most recently, I had about 38-40 units Botox on Nov 28, 2017 to forehead. Botox results do not last long for me; it wears off after 2 months. Currently, I have a depressed line that runs down my forehead. All pictures were taken on different days or weeks. Some days the depressions are more noticeable than others. Can anyone tell me what these are and why I get them?
