I want to stop furrowing my brows when I squint. Is Botox good for this?

Botox is a great solution to decrease frown lines. An in person evaluation is required to determine the amount of Botox needed. Best,  

Beginning BOTOX® injections in your 20s can not only help
diminish existing frown lines and wrinkles, but may also help delay the
formation of deeper lines for longer. Certainly some well-placed BOTOX®
injections from a highly experienced injector can help your brow look less
furrowed and “angry” even when your face is at rest. However, I would say that
your goal of “completely paralyzing” the brows is not realistic nor is totally
freezing movement in the brow area recommended. Retaining a range of motion is
essential for the best, most natural looking results.

Yes, a Botox treatment is an ideal solution to prevent
furrowing your brown and looking angry. Botox works by relaxing the frowning
muscles (also known as the Glabellar Complex) so that you are unable to make
the movements that are undesirable. It will also help to decrease your risk of
forming lines in this area with regular Botox treatments at 3-4 month
intervals. The number of units required will be determined in your consultation
with you cosmetic physician.

Hello! You appear to be a perfect candidate.  BoTox is often used to control animation as it paralyzes the movement of muscles. 20-30units in the forehead and glabellar area should ameliorate the wrinkles to the area. The effects should provide a smooth, more vibrant appearance along with ridding the wrinkles and animation to the areas. Best wishes!

Botox will definitely improve, or possibly make disappear altogether, the furrows of your brow. 20 units usually is enough, as you mention. Botox is becoming more common in our practice among men and women in their twenties and thirties. Botox will help erase that "angry" looking appearance from your face. Definitely meet with a board certified plastic surgeon to find out more!

Thank you for your question.  In short, yes, this is exactly what Botox has been FDA approved for--glabellar lines from furrowing of the brow.  Botox works by paralyzing the muscles so that they cannot make wrinkles on the face.  Thus, Botox is preventive.  If you already have lines, they will gradually soften but will not go away after just one treatment.  Best advice is to stick with it and you will get the results you are looking for.

Botox is the best treatment for softening your frown lines and glabellar furrows to make you look less angry.  These lines are caused by the movement of your corrugator and procerus muscles.  By relaxing these muscles, your furrows will not be as deep, and it will soften your look.  20 units is an effective does for the majority of patients, and if need be additional Botox can be added during your 2 week follow-up visit if there is residual muscle activity.  

Botox is intended for helping relax the corrugator muscles.  This area is ideal and usually I inject 20 units which tends to work for the majority of people.  Depending on the person it may take anywhere from 2-7 days before the muscles are paralyzed in that area.  The results usually last around 3-4 months.One thing to remember is that the furrows have been there for many years and you can not expect them to go away after one treatment.  Botox is a maintenance treatment and a few treatments may be needed to see dramatic results.  Hope this helps.

Hi LALAAS.  This is EXACTLY what Botox (and Dysport) are for.  When you want to soften the look of those furrow lines, Botox is injected to relax the muscle and smooth away these lines.  For examples of other Orange County and Westminster, CA Botox (Dysport) patients, check the link below for before and after pictures.

Yes, Botox would be an ideal choice to treat your "furrowed" brow. That "angry" expression will be greatly improved with Botox. Since you are so young you should expect a smooth forehead between the brows after Botox treatment. It is very natural looking to have some expression in this area. That "paralyzed" look is very unnatural and may hinder your communication skills in an interview. Dosing is difficult without an exam, however 20units of Botox is average for this area and you should see a nice improvement.  Please consult a board certified physician for treatment options. Best wishes.
