What causes frown lines?
Frowning, squinting and concentrating all fold the skin between the brows. Over years the folds stay, even when your face is relaxed. This area is one of the most common places for botox, because a few muscles do most of the work.
How does treatment work?
Botox is injected into the corrugator and procerus muscles in tiny amounts to reduce their pull. The lines soften over several days, and the effect is temporary. The doctor looks at how strongly you frown, how your brows sit and whether the forehead should be treated too, since the muscles work together. See forehead lines botox for the connected area.
When might filler be added?
If the lines remain at rest, a very small amount of filler can lift the crease. This is a joint decision made at consultation. Learn more in wrinkle filler and on the frown lines concern page.
