When I raise my eyebrows, I get deep horizontal wrinkles on my forehead

Question:

When I raise my eyebrows, I get deep horizontal wrinkles on my forehead. They are still there when I am relaxed but somewhat noticeable. Can Botox be used to smooth these wrinkles even when my forehead muscles are relaxed or are these creases permanent? I am 48 years old.

Answer:

Yes, Botox and it’s competitor Dysport are excellent for smoothing out forehead wrinkles. They still help the forehead creases even when the muscles are relaxed because even relaxed muscles have resting tone. By using these injecibles, the resting tone of the muscles can be taken care of thereby decreasing the wrinkles. If the creases are very, very deep, they may not completely disappear but they will be much better.
