Wrinkle Reduction Treatment of the Frown Lines

The frown line is the prominence of the fold between the brows, which is the upper end of the nose. This typically appears as two vertical lines between the brows, also called the ‘elevens’ between the brows.

The patterns of these lines can vary in different individuals depending on the use of frown expression, muscle strength, and skin texture. This appearance is often noted as an angry, frowning expression, which makes people unhappy about it. In addition to the aged look that these wrinkles bring.

The anti-wrinkle injection is thus opted for by many patients at Skination Clinic in Faridabad and Chhattarpur (South Delhi), as this treatment smooths out the wrinkle pattern by relaxing the muscles. 

The impact of frown lines on an individual’s look is:

1. Aged look
2. Emotional impact: gives a negative emotional attribute to the face. 
3. Grumpy impressions of personality are perceived by many due to a frown complex on the face.
4. Overall facial youthful appearance is negatively impacted.

Depending on their appearance, frown lines can vary greatly.

The below-mentioned factors have an impact on how these lines look.

1. Age
2. Gender
3. Ethnicity
4. Facial expressions
5. Anatomical differences in patterns

To attain pleasant and optimum results with wrinkle reduction treatment of the frown area, it is important to take into consideration these differences.

The 5 different types of frown lines, as suggested by studies, are illustrated below.

1. ‘U’ Shaped

According to research, there are five distinct types of frown lines, which are depicted below. To achieve the best effects, anti-wrinkle injections should be administered into the frown line at the highlighted places in white.

The steps of the anti-wrinkle Injection treatment are:

• Consultation

A detailed discussion with the dermatologist involves sharing the concern area, medical history, past treatment history, understanding the outcome, seeing some pre-post pictures, and an examination by the dermatologist.

This is your opportunity to ask any questions that you have about the treatment. Whether the goal of your treatment is achievable or not, for example, is a good idea to discuss. If you are satisfied with all the answers and want to go with the procedure, consent is taken for the treatment. Photographs taken prior to the session are taken at rest and in animation to see the exact extent of lines.

• Local Anaesthesia

A topical numbing cream is applied to the area of treatment for around 30–40 minutes; this ensures that the prick pain is as much alleviated during treatment as possible. Though this part is not necessary, some patients don’t get the cream applied to save on time, which is alright if they are not too sensitive to the pricking part of the procedure.

• Disinfection and Sterility

The treatment area is cleaned and disinfected with alcohol swabs, and steps of sterility are followed during the entire procedure.

• Injection

The area to be injected is marked with a skin pencil. This totally depends on the types of frown lines and varies among different individuals. Most of the time, frown treatment is a 5-point injection treatment, but sometimes it can be 1-2 points less or more than that. Typically, it takes less than 5 minutes to treat the area.

• Post Care 

Topical antibiotic cream is applied to the treated area, and patients can see themselves in the mirror. They are asked to follow up in 7–10 days. For anything bothersome, they can contact the clinic immediately.

You have to know that frown line treatment is not only about getting injected; it is about getting the desired outcome and doing it with an experienced dermatologist for a pleasant outcome. 

The charges can vary depending on the sites and units of injection used for the treatment. Most of the charges vary from INR 6,000 to INR 10,000. Though this is not the exact general amount charged by the patients, it can vary for different patients. This cost is far less than what is charged in the US or UK for the same injection. We insist that treatment be done with experienced dermatologists when it comes to anti-ageing treatments like anti-wrinkle reduction.

Absolutely Yes. The glabella region is much more safely treated with anti-wrinkle injections as compared to Hyaluronic acid fillers, as this area is traversed by blood vessels. In this frown area, fillers should be avoided as much as possible. Natural-looking wrinkle reduction can be achieved by anti-wrinkle injections easily and safely.

There is a benefit to treating these frown lines early, so that the lines are visible only in motion (dynamic lines) and there are no static lines, which happen over the years. This ensures maximum outcome from the anti-wrinkle injection itself, with no need for hyaluronic acid filler in this area.
