When we are young, our skin is rich in elastin and collagen fibres, meaning that it is able to bounce back to its original shape almost unaffected. However, as we age, the amount of these fibres present in the body decreases – meaning our body is more prone to prominent, visible signs of ageing.
Frown lines are the pesky lines and folds that appear between your eyebrows and above your nose. Most people who suffer from frown lines will find that they start at the corner of the eyebrow and continue upwards towards the forehead, following a similar curve to that of the nose. Many people choose to treat their frown lines as they can often make their resting facial position look angry or sad. In some cases, patients may also choose to treat frown lines for emotional or social reasons, and find that an improved appearance can help them feel more confident and overcome certain anxieties.

Frown lines form as a result of the many movements your face makes over the course of your lifetime. Every action or movement contributes to the formation of these lines, for example, whenever you squint in response to something your muscles are moving and creating creases and folds on your face. If you frown in response to a statement, then a similar thing will also happen. You can see this for yourself by simply looking in a mirror and performing different facial expressions – you will see how your skin and face moves and how different folds and fine lines form.
Frown lines can be treated in numerous ways depending on the approach you want to take and your aesthetic goals. Some people choose to opt for a natural approach, which can include methods such as adjusting their diet, moisturising and exfoliating with certain products or trying to get additional sleep. Some people, however, may have tried these things with little effect, or may just want a quicker, more efficient option – in this case, most people opt for a treatment such as Botulinum toxin (Botox®, Bocouture®, Azzalure®,) as it is a safe, non-surgical procedure that offers great results.
As you age it is inevitable that your skin will start to lose its elasticity and the formation of frown lines and wrinkles will begin. As mentioned above, we would recommend you make several adjustments to your daily routine and lifestyle, as in some situations this can help you achieve your desired result. However, if you are looking for a quicker option then we would recommend Botox®.
Appropriate Treatments
A cosmetic injectable treatment that can temporarily reduce the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and other facial imperfections, resulting in a smoother, more youthful-looking complexion.

Frequently Asked Questions
If you opt for Botox® treatment, then you can expect your results to last for up to six months. However, this will vary from individual to individual and could last a shorter or longer period of time.
Treating frown lines is a simple, safe and straightforward procedure for a trained medical professional to complete. As long as the proper precautions have been taken, and you have had your initial consultation, there are very few risks or side effects to worry about. The most commonly reported side effect is bruising or redness around the injection site. In rare cases, people have reported suffering from headaches or flu-like symptoms.
Prior to any treatment at Appearance Based Medicine, we ask that our patients join us for a complimentary consultation. These sessions allow us to examine your medical history to ensure that you are suitable for treatment and that no unforeseen complications will arise. You can also use this time to ask our professionals any questions you may have.
Unfortunately, if you are breastfeeding or pregnant then you will be unable to join us for either Botox® or Dermal Fillers.
If you choose Botox® as your form of treatment, then you have very little to worry about. The pain is minimal, even without an anesthetic or painkiller, with most patients reporting that the injection feels like a slight pinch. If you are worried about the injection, then one of our medical professionals should be able to provide you with a form of pain relief.
