Frown Lines
Softening frown lines
The vertical lines between the eyebrows are commonly known as frown lines. These lines can develop at a relatively young age due to repeated contraction of the muscles between the eyebrows, often unconsciously.
Procedure
Benefits & results
Frown lines may become more visible through repeated facial expressions such as squinting, concentrating or frowning. Bright sunlight and eye strain can also contribute to the formation of these lines. In some cases, intensive frowning may additionally create a horizontal line above the nose.
As the skin gradually loses elasticity over time, these lines can deepen and remain visible even when the face is at rest. Pronounced frown lines may create a tired, angry or tense appearance. Some people who frequently frown may also experience tension headaches.
During treatment, small amounts of product are carefully administered into the muscles responsible for the frown lines using a very fine needle. This temporarily relaxes the muscles, reducing the ability to frown intensely. Over time, the lines often become visibly softer and less noticeable.
The skin is given more rest, which may help slow the deepening of the lines. The result is often a softer and less tense appearance.
