<\/a>Is Glabellar Botox FDA approved?<\/h3>\n
Yes, BOTOX <\/a>is FDA approved for cosmetic use in the glabellar complex<\/p>\n Usually around 20. \u00a0But ranges from 12-40 units have been used in my Modesto Botox practice<\/a>. \u00a0Men and younger patients, with their stronger muscles, usually need a higher dose of BOTOX units. \u00a0However some younger patients are looking for prevention, and thus may not need as high of a dose. \u00a0Customization is key.<\/p>\n The procerus muscle in the middle, surrounded by a pair of corrugator\/depressor supercilii. \u00a0Everyone has different presentations of this muscle. \u00a0The anatomy is slightly different for each individual, and the strength of these muscles differ as well. \u00a0This leads to individualization of each BOTOX injection.<\/p>\n Consider fillers for the static lines of the glabella. \u00a0BOTOX may work somewhat for the glabellar static lines; however, BOTOX is mainly a treatment for dynamic lines. \u00a0Dynamic lines (wrinkles) are formed when the muscle contracts. \u00a0Static lines (wrinkles) are present even when the muscles are relaxed. \u00a0Many dynamic lines are on their way to static lines<\/a> – it’s just a matter of time. \u00a0However BOTOX can prevent the progression.<\/p>\n I think this question depends on the injector and how they use the fillers. \u00a0This would be an \u00a0off-label FDA use of fillers. \u00a0I personally prefer Belotero <\/a>for filling Glabellar creases if it becomes a desired option. \u00a0 The reason I like Belotero to complement BOTOX treatments in the glabellar region is that it is a light-weight filler which doesn’t easily show up as bumps in the glabellar region. \u00a0However if the glabellar lines are very deep and the skin is lax, sometimes a thicker filler such as Juvederm<\/a> would work better.<\/p>\n Feel free to make an appointment at our office. \u00a0Home page here: Modesto Botox Injections<\/a>. \u00a0Botox injections in the glabella is the most popular use of Botox Cosmetic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" What is the glabella? Glabella has very little to do “gorilla” or “umbrella”. \u00a0Although they rhyme. \u00a0And if you got a gorilla angry, he\/she would have a furrowed glabella. \u00a0And if you were caught in the a rain storm without an umbrella. \u00a0I think you would also be furrowing your glabella. \u00a0And for some patients … Continue reading BOTOX Terminology: Glabella<\/span> How many BOTOX Units are used in the Glabella?<\/h3>\n
