While frowning mainly involves your mouth, it also affects your upper face. In particular, the short span of skin between your eyebrows. Over the years, repeated crinkling of this area when you frown can lead to etched-in lines or even deep furrows.
This problem, called frown lines, glabellar lines, or “11” lines, is among the most common reasons people seek nonsurgical aesthetic treatments today. The Hollywood Dermatology & Cosmetic Specialists team knows how frustrating it can be when frown lines always make you look tired, angry, or unhappy. They offer nonsurgical solutions, including Botox® and, for deeper lines, a range of dermal fillers to plump the skin and smooth away stubborn frown lines.
Understanding Dermal Fillers For Frown Lines
Dermal fillers are a popular choice for reducing the appearance of wrinkles because they can effectively plump and smooth the skin. While the most common treatment areas for dermal fillers are the nasolabial folds (smile lines), cheeks, and lips, fillers can be a good option for frown lines, too.
With mild-to-moderate frown lines, your specialist may recommend Botox instead. Botox is a neuromodulator that relaxes the muscles that cause frown lines. This, in turn, can smooth out the glabellar area.
But with deeper frown lines, there’s also a significant amount of volume loss. That’s where dermal fillers shine. When injected under your skin, they add volume either instantly (hyaluronic acid fillers like Juvederm®, Belotero®, and Restylane®) or stimulate volume growth over time (options like Sculptra® and Radiesse®).
The Best Dermal Fillers For Frown Lines
The American Society for Dermatologic Surgery lists Juvederm, Radiesse, Restylane, Belotero, and Sculptra as good filler options for frown lines.
The best dermal filler for your frown lines depends on your unique situation. How deep your lines are, how soon you want it to take effect, and how long you want it to last can all contribute to the decision. Your Hollywood Dermatology & Cosmetic Specialists provider plans treatment with you, always focusing on giving you natural-looking results that help you feel confident.
Dermal fillers can correct frown lines for 6-24 months, depending on the specific filler used and your body’s response.
