How to Smooth Frown Lines
Frown lines, also known as vertical lines or glabellar wrinkles, form over time due to a combination of repetitive facial expressions, reduced skin elasticity, and the natural aging process. Constant muscle movements, such as frowning, raising the eyebrows, or squinting, cause the skin to fold repeatedly, eventually creating dynamic wrinkles like frown lines. These concerns can be visible, even when at rest. To address frown lines, both surgical and non-surgical treatments are available at M Spa — the premier destination for aesthetic treatments in Reno.
Depending on your preferences for the longevity of the results and the invasiveness of treatment, potential solutions include:
- Brow Lift: For the most noticeable and effective long-term results, brow lift surgery is considered the “gold standard” solution to smooth vertical creases between the eyebrows. The procedure lifts the skin and underlying tissues to reduce sagging, as well as smooth out creases like frown lines. In addition to removing or significantly reducing deep, static lines, a brow lift can provide a brighter and more energetic look overall.
- BOTOX® Cosmetic: BOTOX® Cosmetic is perhaps the most popular non-surgical treatment to smooth frown lines. When injected into specific muscles of the forehead, BOTOX® Cosmetic temporarily paralyzes the muscles that cause glabellar lines. Results appear in 3–7 days and last about 3–4 months.
- Dysport®: Dysport® is also a neuromodular, but made with a slightly different protein formulation when compared to BOTOX® Cosmetic. This injectable can have the benefit of dispersing over a slightly larger area than BOTOX® Cosmetic, potentially offering a softer look over broader regions.
- RHA Fillers by Revance®: RHA (Resilient Hyaluronic Acid) fillers are designed to move with your facial expressions, making them ideal for smoothing deep creases in dynamic areas like the forehead.
- JUVÉDERM®, Restylane®, and RADIESSE®: Injectable dermal fillers, such as JUVÉDERM® and Restylane®, can also help improve the look of upper facial wrinkles by adding volume and hydration beneath the skin.
- RADIESSE®: RADIESSE® is a biostimulatory filler made of calcium-based microspheres. It provides immediate volume enhancement to reduce frown lines and — unlike other types of fillers — stimulates collagen production for improved results over time.
