Frown lines can range in severity from subtle to very significant creases that form between the eyebrows, that often serve as an unwelcome reminder of stress, age and repetitive facial expressions. While frown lines are a natural part of the aging process, modern advancements in non-surgical treatments offer an array of solutions designed to improve the appearance of frown lines.
Whether you seek subtle refinement or a dramatic improvement in your frown lines, it is important to understand the available treatment options so that you can make an informed decision regarding what treatment might be suitable for you.
Speak with Dr Eddy Dona about your suitability, the surgical options, recovery and costs. Our friendly team will call you back to discuss the procedure and schedule your appointment.
Cost depends on the area treated, product or device used, and the number of sessions required to reach the desired result. Dr Dona will provide a tailored quote during your consultation.
Frown lines emerge from repetitive muscle contractions between the eyebrows, influenced by factors like stress and aging. Our treatment strategy employs specialised products that block neurotransmittiers, minimising the contraction of eye muscles. This focused treatment approach visibly diminishes the ‘eleven lines’ between the brows.
It is important to note that there is no immediate improvement in static lines (lines that are present at rest). However, following several non-surgical treatments, skin that is normally creased has time to rest and recover, and an improvement in static lines usually occurs.
Generally, after the first few sessions, the results last around two to three months. However, after regular treatments, the results can last longer because the treated muscles have been retrained.
If you cease the treatments, your muscles will return to normal, and your wrinkles will return to their previous state—they do not become worse.
Normal activities can be resumed soon after your treatment. However, you should avoid strenuous exercise or massaging the area for the first 24 hours after treatment.
