For horizontal forehead lines, practitioners can inject up to 15–30 units of Botox. For “11” lines between the eyes (or glabellar lines), up to 40 units are indicated, with higher doses needed in male patients .
Yes, but it does require a large number of units. Botox works by blocking nerve signals to the muscles. This prevents the muscle from contracting, so the lines can't appear. Experts have indicated that less than 20 units of Botox won't be effective in treating the lines, and it may take as many as 25-30.
Botox effects typically last three to six months. For best results, Botox injectors recommend that patients repeat the session after three to four months.
Answer: Botox for 11's
The corrugators run horizontally/diagonally from above the eyebrows toward the medial or inner part of the eyebrow area. To treat your lines effectively, injections should be done above the medial part of the eyebrow.
Does Botox or filler help with Glabella (11's) lines? Botox is recommended for Glabella lines over filler.
To answer this question, let's look at the 3 reasons why BOTOX will not work for you: You are not getting enough units. You are not being injected correctly. You have developed antibodies.
The results from Botox last anywhere between 2-6 months; the average result lasts about 3-4 months. Why does Botox eventually stop working? Your body makes new neurotransmitters all the time, so the “blocking” effect of Botox gradually wears off as these chemicals start circulating in your body again.
There's a common misconception that Botox makes you look older when it wears off. On the contrary, regular Botox treatments make you look younger even after the neurotoxin wears off.
The FDA recommendation for treatment of the crow's feet is 12 units per side, but this can vary from patient to patient. Frown lines usually respond well to treatment of 15-25 units, and for forehead lines, 10-15 units.
The amount of Botox needed to improve crow's feet depends on each individual. An optimal dose should last 3 to 4 months. Two units per side is a very low dose and typically would last about 2 to 3 months. You will need to wait and see what dosage will work for you and give longevity.
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.
“It's customary to provide an 18 to 20 percent gratuity for any spa service, no matter if it's sugaring or a Biologique Recherche facial,” Angela Rosen, owner of Penelope & The Beauty Bar in Seattle and Daphne in New York City, tells Allure.
You should NEVER leave a tip for your PA/NP or nurse injector. Injectables are medications, just like a blood pressure pill or a thyroid medication. You would not tip your primary care provider for doing an EKG on you so no need to tip on our medical services either.
The body begins to form antibodies against the product. Eventually the antibodies will block Botox® from working, and the facial muscles will recover very rapidly. At that point, there is little point in getting further injections of Botox®. This resistance process typically takes months or years to complete.
Whether you're looking to address wrinkles between the eyes and on the forehead (11's), or wrinkles on the corner of your eyes and mouth, Frownies can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Why do the 11 lines form? 11 lines, also referred to as “movement lines,” develop as a result of the muscular pull and movement from frowning. Over time, as we repetitively frown and make other facial expressions, the skin on our foreheads bends and folds, eventually forming permanent creases or indentations.
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).
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.
Botox will work well for lip lines, Crow's feet, and other fine wrinkles. It has a high concentration and is slow-moving, making it perfect for these small areas. Dysport will work well for larger surface areas like the forehead and 11 lines.
Juvéderm can help fill in the deep lines that may suddenly surface, including the stubborn "number 11" lines between the brows. Juvéderm is a fantastic solution that minimizes lines and creases while allowing natural facial expressions.
50 units of Botox would be excessive to fully treat forehead rhytids (horizontal forehead lines), but it may be appropriate to treat both the glabella and forehead. A typical dosage for the forehead is 20 units. 50 units would be more appropriate as a Dysport dosage.
