Facial Injections: Info, Prices, Photos, Reviews, Q&A

Botox will definitely help relax the “glabellar” lines that you seem to be concerned about. Remember that botox is temporary (about 3-4 months) and you would need to keep up with the treatment to relax the muscles. (Kiran Polavarapu, MD, Fort Worth Plastic Surgeon)

There is no real reason for developing glabella frown lines, but research with muscle sensors has shown that in some people these muscles just contract all the time, including while you are sleeping. This appears to be the case in you from the picture upon awakening.

If it continues, you will develop a permanent crease there. Treatment is use of Botox to stop the muscle function and Retin-A and Obagi ELASTIderm to fill in the skin. (Robert T. Buchanan, MD, Highlands Plastic Surgeon)

Botox For Glabellar Frown Lines To Prevent Looking Angry

Botox is ideal for treating exactly this area between the brows. A little Botox will relax the muscles and those lines will disappear. Make sure to see a board certified plastic surgeon or cosmetic dermatologist. (Sean Doherty, MD, FACS, Boston Plastic Surgeon)

Botox will significantly improve your frown lines. 30 is definitely not to young to start Botox. I recommend you follow with a highly trained expert, such as a board certified dermatologist, for treatment. (Kenne Ogunmakin, MD, Katy Dermatologic Surgeon)

Botox for Lines in Glabella

The lines between your eyes are secondary to muscles of facial expressions, called the corrugators. These lines are made from normal expression, but, if you have some over expression these lines can deepen.

Botox is a purified protein that relaxes these muscles when they are injected. As the muscles relax, the overlying skin and wrinkles will relax as well. 30 years old is not too young for Botox, and starting injections now will help to slow the progression of further wrinkles. (David Gilpin, MD, Nashville Facial Plastic Surgeon)

Botox Is Wonderful For Treating These Angry Frown Lines

you may need more Botox in certain areas than the average person to relax your muscles and reduce these lines.

In my opinion there is no ideal age – it makes sense to start treatment with Botox when you are noticing lines and wrinkles that bother you. The earlier you begin treatment once you notice lines, the easier treatment will be – as with most cosmetic procedures, prevention is key.

I would advise an in-person consultation with a board-certified dermatologist to discuss your options and determine a treatment plan that best fits your needs and goals. (Dennis Gross, MD, New York Dermatologist)

I think Botox for that area at your age is a wise choice as it will lessen the folding of the skin and slow the progression to liens seen at rest. (Julio Garcia, MD, Las Vegas Plastic Surgeon)

Botox Relaxes The Group Of Muscles Between The Brows

Some people have hyper activity on the corrugator muscles that crease the vertical lines in between the brows.

The Botox is the best option to relax those muscles and to decrease the lines in between the brows, the age is not important, it is more important to prevent them for getting deeper and more difficult to correct. (Juan Carlos Fuentes, MD, Mexico Plastic Surgeon)

Please keep in mind that etched creases may require multiple Botox treatments in order to see the best results.

Beautiful and natural results can be achieved. Please be sure to see an expert injector for an in-person consultation to fully discuss your concerns and your goals and expectations in order to determine the best treatment plan. (Christian N. Ford, M.D., Boston Physician)

Prevention Is Better Than Cure

Botox is a purified protein used to address wrinkles associated with facial expression such as the vertical lines seen between the brows when one smiles. These occur when people make facial expressions.

Some people have more expressive faces than others and develop these wrinkles earlier in life.

We routinely treat patients in their 20’s and 30’s with Botox. Please consult with a doctor for specific recommendations. (Alex Eshaghian, MD, PhD, Encino Physician)

Botox or Xeomin would be equally good and effective for treatment of this area. They will require reinjection approximately every 3 to 4 months and there is a small chance that this will atrophy the muscle and make your natural expression lines less prominent.

Meet with an experienced plastic surgeon or dermatologist and consider trying it to see the results. (Jon A. Perlman, MD, Beverly Hills Plastic Surgeon)

The Treatment Of Glabellar Frown Lines Was The First Cosmetic Use Of Botox

Botox for the frown line between your brows

Botox for the area between your brows will relax that line and make it fade. By weakening the muscles that frown it will also make that line that is starting to appear at rest go away.

I don’t think thirties is too young. It is easier to tackle it now, than later when the lines is more etched in. Botox will prevent that line from getting worse.

Personally, I started in my late 20s because of that exact same line. (Myriam Loyo, MD, Portland Facial Plastic Surgeon)

Botox helps reduce frown lines by temporarily relaxing the muscles that cause those creases in the skin. The frown lines are actually the most common area for Botox injections. I actually encourage patients in their 20s and 30s to start Botox injections – starting early can actually help prevent the frown lines from becoming permanently etched in.

I’d recommend scheduling a consultation with a cosmetic dermatologist or plastic surgeon to discuss your concerns. (Faiyaaz Kalimullah, MD, FAAD, Chicago Dermatologic Surgeon)

The frown lines are one of the most common treatment indications for Botox Cosmetic. I usually start with 16-24 units in most patients. You would likely be on the higher end of this dosing spectrum as your glabellar complex does appear strong.

See an experienced injector for best results. (Shaun Patel, MD, Miami Physician)
