Frown lines: understand and soften, in Geneva
Those two vertical lines between the brows can give a stern or annoyed look, even when you are relaxed. It is often that gap between your real mood and how you come across that bothers people.
An expression line, first of all
Frown lines come from the repeated contraction of the muscle that draws the brows together. Visible in movement at first, they end up marking the skin at rest: they are expression lines.
The goal is not to paralyse but to relax the area so the line smooths, while keeping a natural face.
Softening, medically
Anti-wrinkle treatment may be considered to relax the area; in some cases hyaluronic acid completes the approach. The choice and dose are a doctor's decision.
As always, the indication is set after examining the face in movement, and no result can be guaranteed.
Your questions
Is it the same treatment as for the forehead?
The principle is close, but the area and dose are specific to each case, assessed in consultation.
Will my face look frozen?
A measured approach aims to preserve expression. The dose is decided by the doctor.
How long does it last?
The effect is temporary and is reviewed over time. The follow-up rhythm is set with the doctor.
The line is deep at rest, is it too late?
Not necessarily, but the approach may differ. That is exactly what the assessment determines.
