Frown lines, often referred to as the “11’s,” are the vertical wrinkles that appear between the eyebrows. These lines are typically caused by repetitive facial movements such as frowning or concentrating, which can result in an angry, tired, or stressed appearance. Over time, these lines can deepen, giving the face an intense or concerned expression. Treating the muscles responsible for frown lines can help restore a more relaxed, approachable, and youthful look.
At Inner Glow AestheticsMD, we use precise techniques to address frown lines while maintaining a natural appearance. Treatments involve carefully injecting neuromodulators such as Botox, Dysport, or Xeomin. Our goal is to achieve:
For deeper lines, dermal fillers may be recommended to further enhance the results after initial treatment.
Frown lines form when the muscles between the eyebrows contract, causing the skin to furrow. Over time, reduced collagen production leads to permanent wrinkles.
A small amount of muscle relaxant is injected into the brow area, limiting movement and softening lines. For deeper wrinkles, dermal fillers can be added to achieve optimal results.
Results are visible within 10-14 days, providing a smooth, refreshed appearance.
The effects typically last 3-4 months. Regular treatments help maintain the results and can lead to longer-lasting improvements over time.
For deep-set wrinkles, dermal fillers may be applied 10-14 days after the initial muscle relaxant treatment to further enhance the results.
