Is it possible to get rid of or reduce these lines.. Pic attached

[Ihateboris]

I've got very deep lines/creases just above my eyebrows. I've tried botox which hasn't helped as I they're probably too deep. Is there anything else I can do to soften them? Thanks in advance

Possibly some filler to smooth out the area, but you would want to go to someone well recommended to get a good result.

I have a frown line between my eyebrows that is fairly deep, and was told that botox might stop it from getting worse but wouldn't fix the depression line that was already there - filler was the only way it would go away.
I use tretinoin and have done for a few years, and while it's great for skin tone, texture etc. it doesn't get ride of deep lines.

Off topic, but I love your fairy lights 😀

Are they sleep lines because they look in a funny place to be frown lines. I have these in the morning but they fade throughout the morning. If so, try sleeping on your back and not your side.

They're from sleeping on your side, a silk pillow case stopped me from getting them.

Thank you for your suggestions... And your kind comment on my twinkly lights. I have them up all year 🤣

Yes, someone has suggested this, so I spent a small fortune on silk bedding... Unfortunately to no avail 😕

Yes, they're definitely worse in the morning but don't fully disappear throughout the day. I've tried sleeping on my back but end up on my side 😴

I still think botox should work. Did you go to a plastic surgeon?

Frowniessss

(They're patches btw, i wasnt insulting you)

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.... I didn't think you were insulting me. Thanks for the suggestion... Off to Google..

The botox was administrated by a nurse, not a cosmetic surgeon. Do you think I'll have a better result with a surgeon?

I would always go to a plastic surgeon. I wouldn't even let a GP administer botox on me. Yes I think a plastic surgeon would achieve better results. How much botox was administered?

Not exactly sure how much was administered. I paid for one area. I'm definitely going research plastic surgeons. You live and learn.

In this case, it doesn’t matter who’s administering it, Botox only works on dynamic lines ie those caused by muscle activation. These aren’t, they’re essentially passive creases caused by the OP’s sleeping position. Botox won’t stop that.

There's a special pillow with a groove in it that basically forces you to sleep on your back - you couldn't move to the side if you tried. Can't remember what it's called but I've seen a lot of YTs rave about them - Omnilux maybe?

As we get older and lose elasticity in our skin, a permanent crease can sometimes develop even when the muscle is relaxed. While Botox cannot erase these deep creases, it may help to soften them. A good plastic surgeon would know how to do this best. It worked for me.

It can only soften them by paralysing other dynamic muscles. That’s literally how Botox works. It’s a paralytic agent.
if OP’s lines are due to external pressure as she lies on her side at night, Botox won’t counteract that.

it doesn’t mean another consultation won’t be useful, but it’s worth being aware of the various limitations (which aren’t necessarily the skill of her practitioner)

If Botox hasn’t helped then filler to plump the indents.

Also retinol to smooth and decrease the surface lines. And collagen supplements.

You could also try skin peel or laser treatments.

Ok

Agree with this but if anyone needs top quality botox in Edinburgh then hit me up, I go to the absolute best.

Why not get a nice fringe cut.

🤣🤣😂

I wonder if we use the same place?
dr. L?

I'm planning a stay at The Witchery before Christmas, so please can you tell me the name of the clinic in Edinburgh? Very many thanks
