Are you bothered by a deep frown line between the eyebrows? It can give an angry and older look. With the help of a botox treatment, the wrinkle can soften or even disappear!
Frown lines between the eyebrows can be caused by frequently looking angry or serious. People who frequently look at screens, for instance at work, tend to unconsciously frown a lot during the day. When frowning, the muscles between the eyebrows contract, creating frown lines. Over time, these wrinkles will also be visible in a neutral facial expression. This can create an angry or stern look.
Botox, or botulinum toxin, is a muscle relaxant that temporarily prevents the frown muscle from contracting. Because the muscle no longer contracts strongly, a wrinkle can no longer be formed in the skin. As a result, the skin becomes smoother and tighter. The frown wrinkle can thus be both reduced and prevented.
The ideal time to start with botox is when the frown wrinkles become visible in a neutral facial expression. In fact, from this moment on, the wrinkle(s) will only deepen. Starting with botox at this time will not only make the wrinkle disappear, but also has a preventive effect for getting a deeper wrinkle at a later age.
Botox remains effective for 3 to 4 months on average. At JECT Clinics we offer both Azzalure and Alluzience botox, with effective duration times up to 6 months. At the end of the effective duration period, the treated muscles will gradually start to move again. When the effect has diminished, the treatment can be repeated. Repetition of treatment is important to maintain the best possible results.
