Do you often look angry or tense when you are not at all? A deep frown line between your eyebrows can make your appearance look more severe than you would like. Fortunately, there is a safe way to reduce frown lines without surgery, whilst maintaining your natural expressions.
What are frown lines and why do they form?
Frown lines are vertical lines between your eyebrows, also known as the “11s”. They are caused by the repeated contraction of the muscles in this area, for example when frowning or squinting. Not everyone develops them at the same rate; heredity and muscle tension play a major role. As the skin ages, these lines become deeper and remain visible even when at rest.
How can botulinum toxin reduce frown lines?
Botulinum toxin, a safe and widely used muscle relaxant, is an effective and subtle treatment for frown lines. By temporarily relaxing the small muscles between and just above the eyebrows, you prevent yourself from frowning automatically. This softens your gaze, erases tight lines, and restores a friendly, rested appearance.
