Frown Lines

Developing lines and wrinkles in the skin as we get older is a concern that almost everyone will experience to some degree. Often one of the more noticeable sets of creases are frown lines, that appear as small vertical lines between the eyebrows. Also known as ‘eleven lines’ or ‘glabella lines’, frown lines can often become deeper and more noticeable with time, giving the affected person an angry or stressed look which isn’t befitting of their true nature.

As collagen and elastin will naturally decline through ageing, mature skin loses its firm and full properties, making it more difficult to ‘bounce back’. The depletion of the assets that once saw a youthful complexion looking plump and vibrant, give way to an appearance that shows the effects of weakened skin that is less supported by its underlying structure. The face is an active part of the body that is constantly functioning from the time we wake up to the time we go to sleep. Our everyday living requires the features to work together as we talk, eat, laugh, cry, express ourselves and rest. These repeated facial movements, when coupled with weak skin and tired muscles, lead to furrows and wrinkles forming in the skin.

Frown lines in particular are the result of the movements made by the procerus and corrugator muscles in the forehead, which work to pull the eyebrows together when we frown through frustration or stress. To reduce the look of these creases, whether they are fine lines or deeper set wrinkles, can produce a calmer more rejuvenated look to the upper face.
