Frown Line

An expression that appears more relaxed and open

Frown Line Treatment with Botulinum Toxin (Botox®)

The frown line can quickly give the face a stern, tense, or even angry expression – often without us actually feeling that way. It develops from the repeated activity of the muscles in this area, for example, when we furrow our brows or concentrate. Over time, this can lead to lines that remain visible even at rest, making the facial expression appear permanently stricter. A targeted treatment with botulinum toxin (Botox®) can gently relax the muscles in this area, reducing the frown line and making the facial expression appear more open, friendly, and relaxed.

 

Facial expressions are part of a lively and natural look. Therefore, the goal of any treatment is not to change the expression but to gently reduce wrinkles while preserving the natural expressiveness of the face.
