Frown Line Treatment in Melbourne

Although many believe wrinkles appear with age, people with very expressive faces can get them early on. For that reason, there is no specific timeline for seeking treatment for Frown Lines. Preventing these lines from forming is easier than trying to reverse them. Therefore, starting your treatment just before they become permanently etched into your frown is recommended.

Frown Lines are easy to treat with anti-wrinkle injections. Anti-wrinkle Injections are injected into the area to relax the muscles of the frown and smooth the appearance of the overlying wrinkles. This process consists of a fifteen-minute procedure with no downtime and no recovery. It is easy, effective, and well maintained with follow up treatments every few months.

It is of vital importance that your clinician has a thorough knowledge of facial anatomy when performing treatment with Anti-Wrinkle Injections as do all the clinicians at Face To Face Medical. Each patient has individual anatomy, goals, and facial balance, so we individualise every treatment. Included in the assessment is a careful observation of your muscle movement in animated expression and your lines at rest.

There are several factors that need to be considered when performing frown line treatment in Melbourne, which involves a good knowledge of facial anatomy.

When we frown, we also pull our brows down. By treating and softening the muscles that cause frown lines, the brows may raise slightly as a result. Frown line Anti-wrinkle Injections are often used in conjunction with Forehead line treatments to maintain or elevate eyebrow position. This Brow Lift is usually a desired outcome, however, if you do not want the brows to raise, this can be prevented with carefully placed anti-wrinkle injections at specific points in the forehead.

When seeking Frown line treatment in Melbourne, it’s worth noting that Frown and Forehead treatments are interrelated. Often, one area can affect the other. For example, if you have a pre-existing weakness in your eyelid muscle, it can cause the eyelid to drop when treating the frown. Avoiding this complication involves avoiding certain points on the forehead and frown. A good understanding of anatomy is required.

Frown Lines can be treated by completely preventing the frowning movement. Alternatively, it can be partially weakened depending on the dose of Anti-Wrinkle Injections. We discuss your goals with you and formulate a treatment plan together.

Deeply etched Frown Lines may not disappear completely with anti-wrinkle injections. The Anti-wrinkle Injections address the cause, i.e., they prevent you from frowning. However, if the lines are already deeply etched into your skin even when you’re not frowning, you may need Dermal Fillers to fill and soften the lines further. We assess this after repeated Anti-Wrinkle Injection treatments as even these deeper lines may improve after repeated anti-wrinkle injection treatments.

Frown line treatment in Melbourne includes a thorough assessment and consultation. This is followed by a treatment plan that is discussed with you. Included in the assessment is a careful observation of your muscle movement in animated expression and your lines at rest. Photographic documentation is part of every initial assessment.

Using a very fine needle, we inject the anti-wrinkle injection clear fluid into the skin above the frown muscles in a pattern that is unique to your facial movements. The procedure itself is very straightforward, only taking a few minutes. In fact, you can schedule appointments in your lunch break from work and head back into the office once the treatment is complete.

Most people feel little to no discomfort during the injection process. Ice can be used to reduce any discomfort. After the procedure, you may notice little red bumps where the injection was administered. These typically subside in about 10 minutes. We advise you not to massage or rub the area or lie down for 4 hours post-treatment to avoid shifting the Anti-Wrinkle Injections.

Over the following days, the targeted muscles will relax and reduce the appearance of the overlying wrinkles while still allowing you to make natural facial expressions. Lines that are only present when frowning will completely disappear. Deeply etched rest lines continue to further soften and improve with repeated treatments. Our aim is to create an appearance that is rejuvenated and natural at the same time.

Side effects are very uncommon and all resolve completely over time. A temporary partial eyelid drop can occur uncommonly, however, a good understanding of facial anatomy and a thorough assessment can reduce this risk significantly.
