Choosing a treatment for your concern
Wrinkles: common questions
Can botulinum toxin be considered for lines visible at rest?
Resting glabellar lines have also been studied. Location, depth and skin condition still need assessment; fillers are not automatically necessary.
Is the dose the same across products?
Units and characteristics may differ, so identical numbers are not directly comparable. Your previous product, treatment areas and response help guide the discussion.
Results and recovery vary from person to person.
Before choosing treatment
What to expect and consider
Duration is not the same for every area
Glabellar-line research cannot be applied directly to every site or product. Product, dose and muscle activity affect planning, so follow-up matters more than a fixed number of sessions. [1]

The analysis examined botulinum toxin A efficacy and adverse events for glabellar lines.
- Study population
- 7 placebo-controlled trials of glabellar lines; 1,474 participants

- Results concern specific dosing in the glabella. They do not apply equally to other sites, products or doses, or establish how long an individual’s results will last.
