Frown lines are a common facial characteristic. They can be the result of a variety of factors including frowning too much, genetics, sun exposure and age. There is a treatment option available: Anti-aging treatment. Muscle relaxant treatments work by administering muscle relaxants to paralyse the muscle and reduce lines.
What causes frown lines?
Skin lines can be caused by muscle contractions in the face that occur when we smile or frown.
How to treat frown lines?
Frown lines can be treated with anti-aging treatments such as muscle-relaxant treatment to temporarily paralyse the underlying muscles that cause frowning.
How does Anti-Aging Treatment work?
Preventative
Anti-aging treatment can reduce the effects of these muscles by paralysing them for a short period of time so they cannot cause further creases on your forehead skin.
Reduced Lines
Muscle relaxant treatments work to relax the muscles that produce skin lines and improve your skin by smoothing out those deep-set creases on your forehead, around your eyes or in between your eyebrows.
When you are looking for a fast solution to your frown lines, you must seek out experienced registered nurses who specialise in anti-aging treatments. The results of t-line muscle relaxant treatments are not permanent and will only last up to four months before they start to fade away. While this may be too frequent for some, there are other surgical available that may be more suitable. If you have a heavy, sagging brow or a deep furrow in between your eyes, an endoscopic brow lift may be the preferred option.
Why get frown line treatment?
Frown lines are the most common type of lines on the face and they appear between the eyebrows over time as we age (typically due to repeated facial expressions). Skin creases can be treated by administering anti-aging treatment into muscles in order to reduce their visibility.
Who is a good candidate?
A person who is a good candidate for muscle relaxant frown treatment is someone with lines on the forehead area, horizontal lines between the eyebrows, and vertical lines that extend from the nose to just below the eyes. Anti-aging frown treatment can help soften or reduce these types of lines by administering a small amount of muscle relaxant treatment to specific muscles.
Frown Line Treatments – FAQs
Does it hurt?
Anti-aging treatments are generally not considered painful from our patient’s feedback, although, it does depend on the individual’s pain tolerance. If you are scared of needles, then the treatment may be more stressful than for someone who doesn’t fear needles.
What’s the recovery period like?
The most common side effects after treatment include redness and swelling for a few days until the area returns to normal. It is important to go in with realistic expectations about what can happen during your appointment so that you don’t get discouraged if your results aren’t immediate or dramatic enough for what you were expecting.
What are the risks?
During your consultation, you’ll have the opportunity to explore and address potential side effects, including:
- Bruising and redness
- Temporary weakness or muscle ptosis
- Potential discomfort like headaches
- Asymmetry
Are the results of anti-aging treatment immediate?
The results of anti-aging treatment are not immediate but typically take about two weeks to show up fully on your face although some people notice a difference as soon as seven days after treatment.
How long do anti-aging treatment results last?
Anti-aging treatment results will vary depending on the type and severity of your skin lines, as well as the product you choose to use. For example: If you have moderate lines or excess skin around your eyes then a few treatments may be enough to provide results for up to four months before needing another treatment. If you have deeper lines, you may need to come back after the first few weeks for a “top-up” depending on how your body takes to the treatment.
What products do you use?
Please note, that due to strict TGA guidelines, we are unable to advertise the brand names of anti-aging treatments on our website. However, we stock the leading brands of anti-aging treatments and are able to discuss these freely during your consultation.
