Frown Lines:
Frown Lines, also known as glabellar lines, are caused by the repeated movement of our facial muscles. When we frown or squint, this causes the skin between our eyebrows to crease, and lines are formed. As we age, our skin loses the elasticity it requires to bounce back and these fine lines become permanent. As we know, skincare can only go so far, which is why aesthetic procedures can be vital in maintaining a youthful appearance.
Reducing deep frown lines in the skin with muscle relaxants is a very low-risk option to prevent wrinkles from forming and to smooth existing wrinkles and achieve a younger and friendlier appearance.
Our aesthetic practitioner will explain the procedure and determine whether it is a suitable option for you at your consultation. After the consultation, a precise amount of muscle relaxant will be injected into the frown line area. This works to paralyze the area and preventing it from contracting. By stopping contraction, the skin is allowed to relax and smoothen out. Glabellar lines are often treated alongside crow’s feet and forehead lines for an overall anti-aging effect.
If you suffer from migraines, having your frown line injected can also have a positive side effect on your health. Injecting the forehead can minimize or even prevent the extent of migraine attacks.
The very fine needle used to treat glabellar lines by our doctors makes muscle relaxants relatively painless. If requested, a numbing cream can be applied. The procedure takes about 15 minutes and effects can be seen up to 4 months after.
