I'm 31, and I began getting Botox in my glabellar creases at the age of 29. Genetics shows a disposition in females in my family to show advanced signs of aging in this region, with minimal signs of aging elsewhere (no crows feet or horizonatal creases). <br /><br />Despite disappointing results at 3 seperate, Board Certified, Licensed Injectors/Plastic Surgeons, I still am getting far too much creasing in my glabbellar region. My most recent physician has noted that the muscles in my glabellar region run almost horizontal with my eyebrows versus extending vertically to form the classic "11". I've received almost 60 units total, well spaced (timewise) in my most recent session in order to avoid harmful effects of too much Botox, and in an effort to find a technique to hopefully erradicate my ongoing issue with strong corrugator muscles between my brows. <br /><br />I've continued to receive Botox, despite my frustration since I do see *some* imporvement and I go approximatley 3 times annually. I think the benefit of limited tension headaches and the minimal paralysis of the muscles is better than nothing at all, but I'm still very frustrated with my outcome.<br /><br />Do you know of any other methods to deal with Botox resistant clients? Any advice or suggestions?<br /><br />Thank you!chicktipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15770275150477769117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21714925.post-35816135941209186852008-02-02T23:04:00.000-05:002008-02-02T23:04:00.000-05:00Suzan,I am not too familiar with it.

It may be some time before it is being used widely.Dr. Tony Younhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15998068685500761233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21714925.post-34209438586319251712008-02-01T14:00:00.000-05:002008-02-01T14:00:00.000-05:00Dr Youn, Can you please tell me more about the new...Dr Youn, Can you please tell me more about the new procedure I read about in the news that replaces Botox injections with paralysis via electrical impulse known (I believe) as NoTox? I read that while the procedure is not yet commercially available, the electrical impulse can 'freeze' the muscle for up to two years without rendering other muscles (such as the forehead, when treating the brow)paralysed (i.e. Botox forehead).<BR/>I would appreciate your comments on this procedure.Your Shadow Selfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01528225164656071626noreply@blogger.com
