Frown Lines

How does it work

There are three major muscles that pull the eyebrows downward, and the constant contraction of these can result in vertical lines between the eyebrows.

In general, the aim is to weaken these muscles to reduce the lines that occur perpendicular to the direction of action of the muscles.

​

When muscles waste in the long term, they tend to become weaker and reduces the build up of wrinkle in the treated area.

​

Keep in mind when some muscles waste when their movement is weakened.  However opposing muscles may overact and result in a lifting effect.
