Frown wrinkle injections

Frown lines or glabella wrinkles are the vertical lines that appear in your forehead when you express a negative emotion such as, anger, frustration, anxiety.

Some people use these muscles when they are concentrating or when they have the sun on their face. When a person frowns, they often use a combination of muscles.

Frown wrinkle injections along with forehead wrinkle injections are one of the most popular procedures at Sarasin Clinic. We use muscle relaxant injections to relax the frown lines to make the patient look less angry.

When to start frown line injections?

We recommend starting muscle relaxant injections in a timely manner so that frown lines cannot manifest permanently in the skin.

When this is the case, it is much more difficult to get rid of the frown lines with just muscle relaxant injections. Then one often must also use fillers to fill in the deep wrinkles already present.

After 2-8 days, wrinkles begin to diminish. After 4 weeks, the maximum effect is achieved. From 6-8 weeks, the result is maintained. After 8 weeks, the effect begins to slowly diminish. After 12 weeks the effect is about 50% less, after 4 months the effect decreases by 80%. Most patients opt for a repeat treatment around 3-4 months, but this varies from patient to patient.

Wat is de beste leeftijd om te beginnen met botox?

Er is geen "beste" leeftijd om met Botox te beginnen; het hangt af van individuele factoren zoals de zichtbaarheid van rimpels en je persoonlijke esthetische doelen. Sommige mensen beginnen rond hun 25e preventief met botox terwijl anderen wachten totdat ze meer tekenen van veroudering in het gelaat beginnen te zien. Het hangt dus af van je persoonlijke voorkeur.
