The frown line (medically known as the glabellar line) is one of the most noticeable expression lines. The furrow running vertically between the eyebrows develops as a result of repeated muscle movements in the forehead area. Frequent frowning in particular, for example during concentration, stress, or emotional tension, leads to the formation of these pronounced skin folds. While they are initially only visible with certain facial expressions, they dig deeper into the skin with increasing age and remain even when the face is relaxed. Frown lines are often perceived as bothersome, because the facial features they create are frequently interpreted by others as angry or sullen, even when the person affected is actually in a friendly mood.

Understanding frown lines: causes, effects and treatment
-
-
The formation of a frown line can have various triggering factors. However, the most common cause is time: the older we get, the more collagen we lose, and the elasticity of the skin tissue decreases. The result: lines such as the frown line form over the course of the ageing process. A genetic predisposition can also lead to frown lines even at a young age. Habits such as frequent frowning while concentrating additionally intensify the frown line.
-
Botox® is also used preventively. This means you should start treatment even before frown lines have formed. Our motto is therefore: prevention is better than cure, since overly deep lines are often significantly harder to treat. The botulinum toxin inhibits the nerve impulses to the forehead muscles. This reduces excessive muscle movement, and you no longer frown involuntarily. If this movement stops, the muscle unlearns the frowning habit after a while. This prevents the formation of new frown lines and the need to have them removed.
-
After removing the frown lines, the first results become visible after just a few days. The full effect sets in after around two weeks. For a permanent removal of the frown line, have it treated two to three times a year as needed.

Frequently asked questions about removing frown lines
What is better suited for removing frown lines: hyaluronic acid or Botox®?
Compared to hyaluronic acid, Botox® is the better choice for removing frown lines. Botox® inhibits the muscle movements responsible for wrinkle formation and smooths the skin precisely at the frown line. In comparison, hyaluronic acid can fill in the wrinkles, but it cannot prevent the muscle movement and wrinkle formation. Accordingly, Botox® has a better long-term effect on removing frown lines. However, for very deep wrinkles, a combination may be worthwhile.
Should you start Botox® treatment early?
Yes, because Botox® works preventively and is particularly effective when deep frown lines have not yet developed. So you can start with prevention even at a young age.
