WHAT ARE FROWN LINES
AND WHAT
ARE THE CAUSES?
BOOK CONSULTATION
Frown lines are facial wrinkles that develop over time. These lines are a result of repetitive facial expressions, such as frowning or raising the eyebrows, which lead to the contraction of specific facial muscles.
Genetic predisposition plays a role in determining an individual’s susceptibility to developing frown lines, and lifestyle factors further contribute to their appearance. Sun exposure accelerates the breakdown of collagen and elastin in the skin, diminishing its resilience. Additionally, lifestyle choices such as smoking and overall skin care practices can impact the formation and visibility of these lines.
As a person ages, the natural decline in collagen production and skin elasticity exacerbates the development of frown lines, making them a common aspect of the aging process. Adopting a proactive approach to skincare, including sun protection and healthy lifestyle choices, can contribute to minimising the impact of these lines and promoting overall skin health.
In addition to a high-quality skincare routine, there are a number of non-invasive aesthetics treatments that can treat frown lines. Anti-wrinkle injections offer effective solutions for addressing frown lines without the need for surgery. Skin peels exfoliate and stimulate collagen production, improving overall skin texture. Thread lifts involve dissolvable threads beneath the skin, lifting and tightening to reduce forehead wrinkles. Dermal fillers fill in lines and restore volume, diminishing the appearance of frown lines. Another option is Profhilo®, a hyaluronic acid treatment that enhances skin hydration and elasticity for a rejuvenated look. These non-invasive options provide subtle yet effective results with minimal downtime.
