Frown Lines

Overview

Forehead Frown Lines

The glabella lines, also known as frown lines, is one of the most sought after areas to be treated. This is typically because you use the muscles in this area more frequently and constantly. These lines are normally caused subconsciously. Whether that be from your “concentrating face” or even your “resting face”. These lines are often misunderstood as they can be mistaken for looking angry or upset. As you age, these repetitive movements can leave a longer impact on us than we would prefer. Thankfully, there are solutions globally used to help relax these muscles without sacrificing your ability to concentrate and focus. 

Once frowning has occurred for many years, the moving lines progress into resting lines that are there even when not frowning. At that stage, neuromodulators are insufficient and can be combined with dermal fillers. The use of neuromodulators and/or dermal fillers are both wonderful treatments that we know will give you excellent results. 

Most common causes of frown lines include:

• Genetics, 
• Smoking,
• Sun damage,
• Repeated muscle movements from frowning or deep concentration, and
• Excessive sun exposure without UV protection
