Frown lines are a natural part of ageing, but they can leave some of us feeling less confident in our appearance. Dr Bhavin Garara offers expert advice and treatments to help reduce the appearance of these lines, allowing you to look and feel your best.
Frown lines, also known as glabellar lines, are vertical wrinkles that form between the eyebrows. They often develop as a result of repetitive facial expressions, such as frowning or squinting. Over time, the natural loss of collagen and elastin in the skin makes these lines more pronounced, even when your face is at rest. Other factors, such as genetics, sun exposure, and stress, can also contribute to the development of these lines.
Prevention
While frown lines are a normal part of ageing, there are steps you can take to minimise their appearance:
Sun Protection: Protecting your skin from harmful UV rays by using sunscreen daily can help prevent premature ageing and the formation of fine lines.
Healthy Lifestyle: Staying hydrated, eating a balanced diet rich in antioxidants, and avoiding smoking can improve skin health and elasticity.
Stress Management: Reducing stress and avoiding repetitive facial movements, such as furrowing your brows, can lessen the strain on your skin.
Skincare Routine: Incorporating products with retinol, hyaluronic acid, or peptides can promote collagen production and maintain skin firmness.
Yes, treatments such as anti-wrinkle injections and dermal fillers can effectively reduce the appearance of fine lines. Consistent skincare can also help improve skin texture over time.
Your results typically last 3-4 months, after which a follow-up treatment may be needed to maintain the effect.
Most patients experience minimal discomfort during injectables and facial treatments. Dr Bhavin prioritises patient comfort and can use numbing agents if needed.
While prevention techniques like skincare and sun protection can delay the onset of fine lines, they may not completely prevent them due to natural ageing and muscle activity.
There is minimal downtime with these treatments. Most patients can resume their normal activities immediately, though minor redness or swelling may occur temporarily.
