Botox® is a safe and effective cosmetic treatment for deep facial wrinkles, including the 11s.
Both Botox® and Dysport® are great choices for 11 lines, and they last for as much as four months. Botox® has other uses, as well. It's used in other types of wrinkles, like your horizontal forehead lines and crow's feet at the edges of your eyes.
Deep frown lines are the vertical lines that appear between your eyebrows, and these can often be treated with Botox. The neurotoxin is injected into the muscles in this area and helps to reduce the contraction of these muscles, which can prevent the formation of new wrinkles overtime.
Botox can not fill out very deep wrinkles, and will likely not smooth them out completely. In order to completely eradicate deeper lines, you may want to look into filler, or other facial treatments, such as non surgical facelifts, face lifts, thread lifts, and other treatments available.
While Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, and, most recently, Jeaveau, are the only FDA-approved neuromodulators for the "11" lines, Botox is the only one that's FDA-approved for between the brows, on the forehead, and around crow's feet (if that's also a concern for you).
How long does Botox take to work on 11 lines? On average, it can take Botox 4-7 days to show results on 11 lines as the neurotoxin gets into the right places to block signals from the nerves to the muscles. To get faster results, you may do facial exercises for the neurotoxin to travel faster.
Frownies Facial Patches are the only patches on the market strong enough to hold back deep wrinkles in the skin. They act as a splint for the facial muscles, preventing the skin from forming wrinkles while wearing the patches. Frownies work to retrain the muscles to lie flat and smooth wrinkles.
Does Botox or filler help with Glabella (11's) lines? Botox is recommended for Glabella lines over filler.
The simple rule? “Lines of expression need botulinum toxin. Lines at rest need filler.” Dr. Schulman says that while Botox is a great choice for hitting those “crease points” where muscles contract, fillers are best for deep lines that are present even when facial muscles are not contracting.
Generally speaking, treatment will take effect faster if you're using it to treat fine lines and wrinkles as opposed to deep lines. If you're treating crow's feet around your eyes, for example, the effects are likely to show up much faster than if you're treating deep forehead lines.
It sounds like the muscle has been knocked out with the dose you received. It will take many weeks or even months for the crease to smooth out and it is important to keep up with the Botox to keep those muscles knocked out or they will once again work on the overlying skin to reform the wrinkles.
Botox® injections work well as a standalone treatment for mild to moderate frown lines. However, if the 11s are deep, Botox® alone may not be enough to reduce the appearance of forehead wrinkles. For the best results with deeper 11s, dermal fillers can be used along with Botox® treatment.
Answer: Yes - You can use fillers for 11 lines
Yes, fillers can be used to reduce the resting 'eleven' lines that appear between the eyebrows. Fillers work by filling in the creases in the skin by re-supporting the lost tissue both within and below the skin.
Answer: Botox on my 11's
Botox only works with dynamic wrinkles rather than static. If the wrinkles are now static, then you will need filler in addition to or in place of botox.
25 Units Of Botox On Average
On average 25 units of Botox will give your skin by your glabellar a full correction and will remove the 11 lines. The '11 lines' are the glabellar lines in between your eyes and eyebrows.
And if you're wondering if Botox works if you already have wrinkles, the answer is a resounding YES. In fact, smoothing out facial wrinkles and fine lines, like laugh lines, crow's feet, frown lines, etc., is the primary FDA-approved purpose of Botox injections.
Juvederm® Voluma and Restylane® Lyft are designed to treat deep wrinkles. Radiesse® is another type of injectable filler used to treat moderate to severe wrinkles. Radiesse® uses microspheres of calcium hydroxyapatite to stimulate collagen production.
Typically, the effects of Botox last for up to three to four months. Therefore, the recommended treatment is once every three to four months.
For the glabellar, or “11” lines between the eyes, another 20 units may be injected, meaning for your entire forehead, up to 40 units of Botox may be injected. We will take your age and dynamic wrinkles into account to determine exactly how many units of Botox we recommend to treat your forehead.
Calcium hydroxylapatite (Radiesse).
This filler is used to contour the jaw line, restore volume in the cheeks, and treat deeper wrinkles and skin folds. The results last up to a year when used for contouring and 3 years when used to fill wrinkles.
