Frown lines, also known as wrinkles, glabellar lines, and worry lines, are deep vertical lines on the forehead. They occur due to skin thinning, sun damage, and repetitive muscle movement of the face. Have you ever looked in the mirror only to frown over fine lines on your forehead, knowing that you are not alone? By getting Pasadena Botox cosmetic injections, you will be one step to minimizing these worrying aging signs.

Causes of forehead wrinkles

Aging

It is the primary cause of frown lines. As you start to age, the skin starts to lose elasticity due to repetitive muscle movements of facial expression.

Sun exposure

Overexposure to sunlight causes the sun’s UV rays to break down elastin and collagen of the skin leading to wrinkles.

Stress

If you are under stress, it causes you to develop frown lines due to repetitive facial expressions.

Smoking

Smoking constricts blood vessels which further causes the skin to lose elasticity due to insufficient oxygen, leading to frown lines.

Genetics

DNA influences when you get wrinkles and where they appear. It also influences your skin thinness, thickness, fragility, and resilience; hence has a more significant influence on frown lines forming or not.

Prevention

The following are prevention strategies to avoid frown lines;

• Drinking a lot of water to keep hydrated
• Eating a diet rich in fiber and antioxidants
• Avoiding smoking
• Wearing sunglasses on sunny days
• Use facial sunscreens daily
• Having enough sleep and sleeping on your back

Treatment options

The following treatment will help you promote elastin and collagen production while boosting your overall hydration.

Forehead lift

It is a surgical procedure that helps to eliminate fine lines on the forehead.

BOTOX injections

Botulinum toxin is a joint cosmetic injection used to get rid of frown lines and wrinkles. It is a neurotoxin that inhibits the release of acetylcholine at the neuromuscular point. At Sasaki Advanced Aesthetic Medical Center, BOTOX cosmetic injections are offered by Dr. Saski to relax and soften wrinkles lines without changing your overall appearance. He also uses BOTOX to address gummy smiles, drop eyebrow tails, downward turning mouth corners, and descending nasal tips.

Micro-needling

It involves ultra-needles to prick tiny holes that trigger the skin to heal and regenerate, making it thicker and robust.

Stick on pads

They are made of silicone, and they block you from making facial expressions that contribute to wrinkles and simultaneously help you hydrate, heal, and fill in line to give you a youthful radiance.

Retinoids

They contain vitamin A and vitamin E products, which help speed up skin cell turnover and increase collagen production, hence eliminating fine lines and wrinkles.

Peptides

Peptides in your skin serums, cleansers, and lotions help your skin stimulate cell turnover and brighten your skin.

Hyaluronic acid

It helps to fill invisible gaps in your skin, making it smoother.

Antioxidant creams

It helps to fight damages due to oxidative stress.
