Frown lines are created between the eyebrows over time due to repeated movement of the facial skin. Frown lines are the result of gathering or knitting of the tissue between the eyebrows into a fold. Frown lines are also known as glabellar lines. Years of squinting and frowning tend to leave deep wrinkles in the skin between the eyebrows and on the bridge of the nose.
Frown lines are not just age-related but are dynamic as well. They are created by the facial movements of a person such as frowning or squinting. The muscles above and between the eyebrows contract and tighten, and can cause wrinkles. So, they may develop even in younger adults.
Why you need to treat frown lines?
Frown lines may impart you an intense look which is not desirable all the time. It might produce an angry or sad look that depreciates from a pleasant facial appearance. Treating frown lines will give you an improved appearance and hence boost your self-esteem.
How you can get rid of frown lines?
Botulinum Toxin Type A is most commonly used for treating frown lines. It blocks the nerve signal that causes these facial muscles to contract. This results in a reduction of muscle activity in the treated area and temporarily stops the contraction of these muscles. Hence, smoothens the overlying wrinkles to provide an improved appearance. There is no loss of sensory feeling at all during the time that Botulinum Toxin A is effective. Siax is a Botulinum Toxin Type A complex which can be used to treat frown lines.
