Frown Lines

Frown lines are the vertical creases that appear between the eyebrows, often forming as a result of repeated facial expressions and natural skin ageing. Sometimes called glabellar lines, these lines deepen over time due to constant muscle activity in the area and a gradual decline in collagen production.

 

At The Aesthetics Doctor, we treat frown lines with a personalised approach that considers the full structure of your face. Whether you are noticing early fine lines or more established forehead lines, we offer advanced injectable treatments and skin-focused therapies to help soften these creases and refresh your appearance.

Why Do Frown Lines Form?

Frown lines are caused by the repeated contraction of facial muscles during expressions like frowning, squinting or concentrating. Over time, this movement causes the skin to fold and crease. As collagen production slows and skin elasticity declines, these lines become more permanent.

 

Other contributing factors include sun exposure, stress, dehydration and the natural weakening of facial support structures with age. Frown lines often appear alongside crow’s feet, forehead lines and other visible changes in the upper face.

Patients often say their frown lines make them look tense, tired or less approachable, even when they feel relaxed. Common concerns include:

 

  • Deep glabellar lines that persist at rest
  • A tired or stressed appearance due to overactive expression muscles
  • Imbalance in the forehead and brow area
  • Concerns about skin thinning and loss of firmness
  • Interest in smoothing lines without injectables

Frown Line Treatment Options

Dr Ahmed offers a range of non-surgical options to reduce the appearance of frown lines. Each treatment is tailored to your facial structure, medical history and aesthetic goals.

 

Anti-Wrinkle Injections

 

Botulinum toxin can be used to relax overactive muscles in the glabellar region, helping to soften lines caused by repeated movement. These injections are quick, effective and offer results lasting up to 4 months.

 

Frown Line Fillers

 

For deeper, static lines, hyaluronic acid dermal fillers may be used to restore volume and support the skin. This is especially useful when collagen loss or thinning skin has made lines more pronounced.

EMFACE for Frown Lines

EMFACE is a non-invasive treatment that combines radiofrequency energy with HIFES™ muscle stimulation to reduce frown lines and lift the brow. By targeting both muscle tone and dermal collagen, EMFACE strengthens the muscles underneath the skin while simultaneously improving texture and elasticity.

For frown lines, EMFACE works by lifting the frontalis and glabellar region, reducing the appearance of vertical creases between the eyebrows while supporting the natural shape of the brow.

 

Benefits of EMFACE for frown lines:

 

 - No needles, no toxins, no downtime

 - Improved muscle strength and skin elasticity

 - Boosted collagen production for long-term results

 - Visible lift and smoothing effect between the brows

 - Comfortable treatment sessions in under 30 minutes

 

EMFACE is ideal for patients who want to treat frown lines naturally, avoid injectables or maintain results between other cosmetic treatments.
