Frown lines
The short vertical lines between the eyebrows, often called "11 lines", created by repeatedly frowning or concentrating. They can make the face look tired or stern even when relaxed.
What It Is
Frown lines are the vertical creases that form between the eyebrows, commonly referred to as '11 lines' because of their appearance. They develop over time from repeated facial expressions, particularly frowning and concentrating, which cause the muscles in that area to contract. Even when your face is at rest, these lines can persist and may contribute to an appearance of fatigue or seriousness. The depth and visibility of frown lines vary depending on factors like genetics, skin elasticity, sun exposure, and personal expression habits.
Treatment Options
Botox is a prescription injectable medication derived from purified Clostridium botulinum bacteria that works by temporarily blocking nerve signals to muscles, causing them to relax. It is used to smooth and reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles, such as forehead lines, frown lines, and crow's feet around the eyes. (1 provider)
