Botox treatments positively affect individuals' social and psychological conditions. Often, the irritable and tense expression resulting from aging is due to vertical lines that form between the eyebrows. Eliminating these lines contributes both to a calm and lively appearance and elevates the person's motivation. Many of our patients who had botox for their frown lines have reported feeling much better psychologically when they came in for a check-up.
One of the most noticeable and, consequently, distressing areas of wrinkles is the space between the eyebrows. Wrinkles here directly impact a person's gaze, creating an angry expression even when smiling. However, these wrinkles can easily be treated with botox. This nearly painless procedure takes about 5 minutes. The area to be botoxed is numbed with local anesthesia and a cold application. Fine needles complete the botox procedure. After the treatment, the patient can resume their daily life. Any redness and swelling that might occur will heal within hours, resulting in a bright and smooth appearance between the eyebrows.
One of the most common questions regarding botox treatments is how long the effect will last. Botox is a temporary treatment. Thus, it needs to be reapplied at regular intervals. Under normal conditions, botox for the frown lines lasts an average of 4 – 6 months. However, the frequency/style of one's facial expressions and genetic makeup play significant roles in this duration. Expressions such as laughing, being angry, and showing displeasure manifest through our facial movements. Even though these expressions grant us our unique characteristics, over time they lead to wrinkles. Typically, the wrinkles that form between the eyebrows when we furrow our brows in concentration, anger, or unhappiness add this expression to our face. Hence, botox for the frown lines offers an appearance that's softer, calmer, and happier.
Botox for the frown lines is primarily an aesthetic procedure. The objective here is to make an individual feel younger, more dynamic, and beautiful. Therefore, anyone disturbed by their facial expressions or wanting to hide signs of aging can opt for botox. Botox not only treats existing wrinkles but also prevents the formation of new ones, resulting in a completely vibrant look on the skin. When applied regularly, it ensures the person looks younger than they are, maintains an appealing expression, and prevents wrinkle formation.
