Smoothing frown lines gently
The frown line is a wrinkle that forms between the eyebrows and is often interpreted as an expression of anger or discontent. This vertical crease is caused by the contraction of the muscles in this area when we draw our eyebrows together or look grim.
The frown line can appear in people at any age, but it tends to deepen over time, giving a more stressed or stern facial expression. Some people develop it at a young age due to frequent facial expressions or a genetic predisposition, while others only notice it as they get older.
For those who are bothered by frown lines and strive for a fresher and younger look, the use of muscle relaxants can be a promising solution.

The treatment
Before treatment, the area to be treated is carefully cleaned to ensure optimal hygiene. The doctor marks the injection points and can apply an anaesthetic cream if necessary to minimize any discomfort.
The injections are precise and targeted to relax the affected muscles. The muscle relaxant temporarily blocks the nerve impulses that normally lead to muscle contractions. This relaxes the muscles and the frown lines are smoothed out.
The entire treatment usually only takes a few minutes and causes minimal pain. Most people experience the injections as a slight pricking or stinging sensation.
It can take a few days after the treatment for the full effect to become visible. The frown lines begin to smooth out and the face appears more relaxed and youthful overall.
