Frown wrinkle

The glabella is the area between the eyebrows and the bridge of the nose. Glabellar wrinkles are among the most common reasons for visiting an aesthetic doctor, as they cause an unsightly stern or frowning facial expression. These are vertical mimic wrinkles. The cause of the glabellar wrinkle is the strong dynamics of the muscles on the forehead, which, in combination with the aging of the skin, its sagging and reduced elasticity and hydration, are behind the appearance of this anger wrinkle. Therefore, if you often frown or squint, you may develop glabellar wrinkles earlier. If cloudiness bothers you, we can help.

 

What methods are there to prevent glabellar wrinkles?

The most effective prevention of glabellar wrinkles is regular skin care from a young age, the so-called skin routine. High-quality creams containing hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, retinol and other active substances ensure that the skin receives the necessary hydration and remains protected from the effects of the external environment.

Protection from the sun and its harmful UV radiation using SPF creams is also one of the basics of skin care and skin aging prevention. You should also pay attention to your lifestyle - enough sleep, a varied and vitamin-rich diet, and the absence of smoking will help you keep your skin young, fresh and wrinkle-free for a long time.

 

How to remove frown wrinkle?

If the glabellar wrinkle could not be kept at bay with non-invasive methods and the wrinkle already exists and is pronounced, then the experts at our Hello Beauty Clinic can help. We can get rid of it or at least partially smooth it out by applying a BTX product or hyaluronic acid. However, these are two different substances with different effects:

1) Neurotoxins and wrinkles between the eyebrows

Glabellar wrinkles are created by the action of facial muscles. By gesticulating and moving the delicate muscles in the forehead and eyebrow area, the skin's elasticity decreases, causing it to break and form wrinkles. By applying neurotoxins (BTX products), we are able to temporarily block the fine nerve endings in the area of ​​the mimic muscles in the treated area, thereby preventing muscle movement. The skin is then calm and we avoid the formation of cloudiness. Treatment with botulinum toxin is appropriate already in the initial phase, when the glabellar wrinkle is barely noticeable, or even before the cloudiness appears. It acts preventively.

2) Hyaluronic acid and wrinkles of anger

If the glabellar wrinkle is already deep, it can be filled with hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally occurring in the body. By supplying it to the skin, we hydrate the skin, and at the same time add volume where it is lacking, e.g. in the glabellar fold. The application of hyaluronic acid is uncomplicated.

Excellent effects can be achieved by combining both methods - maximum smoothing of the skin between the eyebrows and prevention of new wrinkles.
