Hello, this is a common issue that can be addressed. It can be softened with a small and careful amount of treatment in the area. It's important to be gentle to prevent brow drooping. I suggest discussing an adjustment dose with your practitioner, and they should be able to help manage it.

Injecting Botox in this area can cause the brow to drop. You may want to ask your provider if they can inject a lower dose (0.5 to 1 unit) of Botox in that area to soften the line without affecting the brow position.

Thank you for your insightful question. The 'comma' wrinkle you mentioned is a common occurrence with Botox injections as complete immobilization of the eyebrow area can cause drooping of the eyelids. However, with careful adjustments, the 'comma' can be softened. If you feel that the adjustment didn't fully resolve the issue, a small amount of dermal filler can be delicately placed to conceal it. Best regards,

Botox units can be used to address remaining active areas in the forehead and achieve a more natural eyebrow shape.
