Who Is Suitable For This Treatment?
If you feel that your frown lines make you look worried or unhappy all the time, a frown line treatment may be right for you.
This treatment may be performed on adults of any age, though it is more commonly performed on people in their 30’s who have started to notice signs of facial ageing. It is appropriate for most adults in good overall health. Many clients can find this treatment leaves them looking more refreshed as a result.

What Are Frown Lines?
Frown lines are the vertical lines that form between your eyebrows. They are also known as worry lines and Glabellar lines. The contraction of the Procerus and Corrusgators facial muscles causes the vertical lines to form when your frown.
Located at the top of the nose and lower forehead, these muscles are responsible for various facial expressions. As the skin ages and loses elasticity and collagen, frown lines can become deeper and more prominent. The skin doesn’t bounce back, and frown lines can be visible even with a neutral facial expression.
What Causes Frown Lines To Form?
The repeated contraction and movement of the lower forehead’s facial muscles is the leading cause of frown lines. When you frown or furrow your brow, it causes vertical folds in the skin. As the body produces less collagen and elastin with age, the skin doesn’t bounce back as it used to, and permanent frown lines form.
Multiple factors can cause frown lines to be more prominent. Genetics can play a significant role in skin elasticity and the age when you start to see wrinkles and lines begin to appear.
While you don’t have any say over your genetics, there are certain things that you can do to make frown lines less prominent. Exposure to the sun’s UV rays can cause the skin tissue to break down faster, causing skin concerns like frown lines to appear more quickly.
Smoking can make frown lines worse by causing premature ageing of the skin by constricting blood vessels and weakening the facial tissue’s elasticity.
How Do You Get Rid Of Frown Lines?
You can improve the appearance of some superficial lines and wrinkles by following a good skincare regime. Topical retinoids and antioxidants can help to tackle superficial wrinkles and thin lines. Using sunscreen protection can help mitigate the harmful effects of the sun’s rays, and wearing sunglasses can stop you from squinting and causing lines to form.
However, these methods are not effective for deeper static frown lines. To get rid of frown lines, you may need a professional frown line wrinkle treatment to achieve a noticeable improvement.
Can Frown Lines Be Filled?
For most people, wrinkle treatments are the most suitable and effective treatment for frown lines. It can relax the overactive muscles and prevent the creases in the skin from becoming deeper and more noticeable.
If your frown lines are more severe, your clinician may recommend combining treatments to help stimulate collagen production and restore volume.
Can You Massage Away Frown Lines?
Unfortunately, you cannot massage away frown lines or forehead wrinkles. The cause of static frown lines is the contraction of the facial muscles and the ageing of the skin. You may find that an OTC cream or serum can soften forehead lines when massaged into the skin, but you can only remove static frown creases and folds through a more intensive cosmetic treatment.
If you have dynamic fine lines caused by stress, a massage can help you relax your forehead muscles and improve your mood to stop you from frowning.
