How does a wrinkle form?

  • The lines that appear between your brows (glabellar lines) actually result from muscle movement and the passage of time
  • You may have heard the expression “wearing your emotions on your sleeve,” but in reality you wear them on your face
  • If you are angry or annoyed, you knit your brows together
  • Underneath your skin, your facial muscles contract, cause a pleating of the overlying skin, and then, as anyone can see, you’re frowning
  • After years of crinkling and wrinkling, those glabellar lines start to linger longer and can become more pronounced
  • For women, whose faces tend to be more animated than men’s, and whose skin is typically more delicate, these lines may appear exaggerated and more permanent
  • Fortunately, there is a way to temporarily reduce moderate to severe glabellar lines
  • Treatment with injections can visibly smooth and soften moderate to severe frown lines between your brows
  • An improvement can be seen within days and may last up to 4 months, although results may vary

General Information:

  • It is possible to treat wrinkles especially:
    • Crow’s feet around the eyes
    • Forehead lines
    • Nose (bunny lines)
    • Frown lines (glabellar lines)
    • Smoke’s lines (perioral lines)
  • There is little or no pain with the injections because a very tiny needle, thinner than an acupuncture needle, is used
  • The effects last 3 to 4 months on average
    • After that time another injection would be required
  • Results are seen usually within 14 days of the injection
  • Within days, you may see an improvement that can last up to 4 months
  • Results may vary
  • If you do not continue treatments, the frown lines between your brows will gradually look like they did before treatment
  • The best time to start treatment is the time when wrinkles are first starting to appear, before they become very deep
  • Treatment does not lead to more wrinkles than you had prior to treatment

What are the Possible Side Effects?

  • One percent of patients may develop a droopy eyelid if the frown lines are treated
    • This is treatable with eye drops and will also spontaneously improve within a few weeks
  • A small number of people may develop a temporary mild headache or bruising at the injection sites
  • Injections does NOT freeze the face
  • After treatment the ability to smile, raise the eyebrows and facial expressions are all normal
  • The skin does not feel numb after a treatment
  • After treatment, you may look in the mirror and see a marked improvement in the moderate to severe frown lines between your brows
  • But they will not radically change your facial appearance
  • Injections cannot achieve the results of a facelift – i.e. lifting sagging tissues such as jowls
  • After your treatment you can still frown or look surprised—without the wrinkles and creases between your brows
  • If you have extremely deep wrinkles, some of the crease that forms in the skin may persist after a treatment
  • Deep creases will also improve but require multiple treatments and time
  • It took years for the wrinkle to form, thus it takes time for it to improve
