We most commonly treat frown lines with BOTOX® and Dysport® on the upper face, especially in the glabella region where staring at a computer screen or even reading can cause vertical lines known as “11s.” Glabellar lines often start simply as a “1” and eventually can develop into “11s” or even three or four over time.Other commonly treated areas are the crow’s feet or the dynamic lines around both eyes. These are one of the first signs of aging. Patients may not notice these forming since we usually do not smile at ourselves when looking in the mirror. The crow’s feet are one of the easiest and most satisfying areas to treat with BOTOX® and Dysport®.

Dr. Dolev uses BOTOX® at higher doses to treat other medical disorders including migraines, Temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMD), and hyperhidrosis. BOTOX® and Dysport® also show promise in treating major depression. In fact, many patients report feeling happier after being treated in the glabellar area.

Deeper lines and skin folds on the face are associated with volume loss over time. We use many types of fillers determined by location and desired outcome to lift the skin from behind, restore volume, and soften creases and lines that come with age.
