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.

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.

Treatment of frown lines

  • The "first-line" treatment for frown lines are muscle relaxant injections. (Due to Belgian regulations, we are not allowed to use the name of the active ingredient, popularly referred to as Botox)
  • If the frown lines are well visible in relaxed face, then additional fillers can be used to fill the wrinkle.
  • You will receive several small punctures at the level of your eyebrows to treat frown lines.

Frequently asked questions about frown line injections

How do muscle relaxants or wrinkle injections work?

Muscle relaxant injections are injected into the facial muscles with a fine needle. This blocks the message from the nerve to the muscle. This will reduce the amount of contraction of that muscle and the lines start to become less visible, or even disappear completely.

How long does the effect of muscle relaxants or wrinkle injections last?

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. Men, athletes and those who are more muscular may tend to need larger doses and more frequent doses.

Are muscle relaxants (btx) safe?

Wrinkle injections are a medical treatment prescribed and performed by a physician that carries risks. Generally, these procedures are considered low risk for complications.

Are muscle relaxants (btx) painful?

The pain is minimal. You will feel a small prick. When the product is injected, there may be a stinging sensation that will disappear within seconds. The procedure itself takes about 5 minutes, but at your appointment you will need to take pictures and sign a consent form and the treated area will be disinfected. You will therefore spend an average of 30 min in our clinic.

What is the aftercare after treatment with muscle relaxants?

our doctor may advise you to frown or use other facial expressions several times a day for the first few days avoid putting pressure on the treated area for 24-48 hours after treatment DO NOT massage the injection area!!! At least 24 hours after treatment do not apply makeup for 6-8 hours after treatment (until the next morning is even better).

Follow-up and treatment duration of muscle relaxants

After your initial treatment, you will generally be invited for a follow-up appointment about 2 weeks after your initial treatment. This allows the doctor to review your results. To maintain your results it is recommended that you have regular treatments, you can discuss this with your doctor at the time of your treatment.
