Frown lines
Frown lines are deep vertical creases between your eyebrows.
Named because they become more prominent when you frown, many people find that these lines make them look angry or sad. If you are tired of people commenting that you look like you’re frowning even when you’re not, a frown line treatment may be right for you.
Thankfully, there is a way to reduce the Crow’s feet with Botox: treatments with Botox or Bocouture can cause the underlying muscles to relax, smoothing the forehead wrinkles.
Injecting Botox or fillers is a medical procedure. Doctors have been using Botox for years to successfully treat wrinkles and facial creases.
The name “Botox” actually comes from the word “botulous” – which means sausage.
Botox is the trade name (Botox®, Allergan) for a substance injected into the skin which is known to inhibit muscle movement (the injected muscle can’t contract). That makes the wrinkles relax and soften, can prevent wrinkles from developing or worsening. There are also other brand names of botulinum toxin, such as Dysport/Azzalure and Xeomin/Bocouture.
Botox is a neurotoxin derived from Clostridium botulinum, an organism found in the natural environment where it is largely inactive and non-toxic.
The Botox-treatment is the most popular non-surgical cosmetic treatment, with more than 6 million treatments administered each year.
Botox is most often used on forehead lines, crow’s feet (lines around the eye), and frown lines. People also use Botox to treat excessive sweating, migraines, muscular disorders, and some bladder and bowel disorders.
A treatment with Botox takes only a few minutes and doesn’t require anaesthesia. Botox is injected with a fine needle into the muscles with only minor discomfort.
The effects from Botox will last three to four months. As muscle action gradually returns, the lines and wrinkles begin to reappear and need to be treated again. The lines and wrinkles often appear less severe with time because the muscles are shrinking
