I have tried Botox a number of times and had 2 sessions of Fraxel Restore in part for wrinkles on my forehead. Botox helped a bit with fine lines, and Fraxel Restore seems to have reduced the depth of some of the wrinkles. However I still have some fairly deep wrinkles on the right side of my forehead, and stubborn fine lines over my left and right brow. My lines are all horizontal or zigzag. Would dermal fillers get rid of the deep wrinkles and fine lines on my forehead?
Answer: Removing wrinkles
Not all wrinkles can be completely removed. However combination treatments usually works best for deep lines. Botox is quite helpful to relax the muscles and decrease the lines. Fillers like Juvaderm or even fat work work to "fill in the valleys". If lines are especially deep, fat works the best, and is much longer lasting. Chemical peels and laser resurfacing can also be very helpful to treat the surface of the skin, help tone, stimulate new collagen, and treat lines as well. If you plan to invest in your skin, stay out of the sun and tanning beds, use protective sun screens, avoid tobacco, drink lots of water, and eat plenty of fruits and vegatables to minimize damage and give your skin what it needs to be healthy.

Answer: Fillers in the Forehead
Typically dermal fillers are not used on the forehead. Lasers can be a good adjunct to Botox in the forehead. In rare cases you can use fat injections

Answer: Botox for Deep Lines
I like to use Botox in conjunction with dermal fillers, as the lines are caused by constant movement, so no matter what treatment you do, nothing will ever get rid of them if the muscles keep moving and bringing the lines back. Once the lines are relaxed I will do a combination of dermal fillers and lasers to soften their appearance. Studies have shown that combining filler with Botox is superior to improving lines created by movement and present at rest than either one alone.

Answer: Filler and botox for deep lines
If the lines are deep at baseline, Botox can take time to fully soften them. Supplementing with filler in the short term is a good answer. I would recommend going to a place that knows filler well, so as to match the right filler with the areas of concern. Fine lines do better with certain fillers (Belotero, etc) and deeper lines, where more volume is necessary, do well with others (Radiesse in the right anatomical areas, etc). Best of luck.

Answer: Botox and filler for deep set lines
Filler can be used in the short term to fill lines that Botox will soften after multiple injections. Over time you would not need as much, if any, filler. Best of luck!

Answer: Addressing moderate depth rhytids with Juvederm
Dermal fillers are sometimes necessary to soften moderate to deep lines that are not adequately corrected by Botox. Especially for those wrinkles that are "imprinted" into the skin from years and years of wrinkling, a combination of Botox, lasers and fillers are necessary to achieve the best improvement.
