I’m looking for some advice and feeling a bit discouraged about the state of my glabellar area. I’m a 38 year old woman and have had occasional Botox and xeomin injections in my 11 for the past 5 years. Recently it’s not lasting long and I have a creased or shadowed look in certain light when when not frowning. What can be done? Is Botox still the answer or something else?

Answer: Dermal filler for forehead crease Hello Lara. Dermal fillers in this area are a great option. With an experienced injector, this area can be dosed safely and effectively with products like Restylane (see link below, second row, third photo from left). Restylane products work very well and last a long time also. We can get up to 2-3 years when the patient is having Botox (Dysport) and dermal fillers at the same time.

Answer: Neurotoxin Plus Low Viscosity, Cohesive, Malleable HA Filler For Glabella Lines You would be wise to be certain that you are consulting with an experienced board certified cosmetic dermatologist to be certain that appropriate concentrations and amounts of the Botox and Xeomin have been given. Perhaps a higher concentration may be needed in this case to handle the dynamic (with motion) muscular action and the static tension (muscular tension at rest) , since some people do develop a kind of resistance to the neurotoxins following several prior treatment sessions. The expert use of a low viscosity, cohesive, malleable HA filler can further help to elevate and smooth the creases that have etched the skin following years of muscular action there. Best of luck.
