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

L
lalaasdfJul 3, 2014

I am 24, and my brow tends to be furrowed and angry-looking. I furrow it even more when I think. People have told me it is distracting and will ruin my chances at impressing at interviews. Is Botox a good choice if I want to completely paralyze my brows? Will 20 units be enough?

Follow up: 48 hours ago I had 8-12 units of Botox in upper forehead. Is that a conservative amount for upper forehead?

Unfortunately the effects of Botox are there to stay until your body can  regenerate the nerve cell terminals where the nerve cell and muscles communicate.  This takes about 3 months.  Rest assured the effects of Botox will wear off with time.

The idea that this is from Botox and not associated with other neuromodulators is unfounded.  There is no evidence in the literature to support this.  I have never had a patient with these symptoms from injections in this area, and I use Botox.  You may have some fluid or air in...

You would need to be examined in person to determine what is best for you.  You are rather young to need anything, but you would need to be seen in person.

20 Units of Botox in forehead. How long before I can exfoliate my forehead in the shower & use moisturizer following the shower?

I would advise waiting 4 hours after your treatment, so that the Botox has time to be fully absorbed into the correct muscles, before resuming your regular skin care regime.
