What are frown lines?

Our facial expressions communicate many things, whether we want them to or not. Sometimes a frown is needed to show how we feel, but as we age, the appearance of that frown can stick around even when we don’t intend it to.

Where do frown lines come from?

Many wrinkles are dynamic–meaning–they appear as we express our emotions, such as when we smile. In our youth, these lines disappear when we’re relaxed. However, with age and repeated muscle contractions, these expression lines can become permanent, making us look angry or annoyed, even when our face is at rest.

A wrinkle is not an emotion, but with expression lines, everything gets blurred.

Not surprisingly, many people turn to aesthetic treatments to reduce the appearance of frown lines and other expression lines and wrinkles. By temporarily relaxing the muscles of the face, these treatments help restore smooth skin without making you look frozen.²

Frequently asked questions

Why do we end up with expression lines?

Expression lines appear when we express our emotions, for example, when we smile, laugh or frown. When we are young, these expression lines disappear when our faces are relaxed. With aging, due to changes in the underlying structure of our skin, dynamic wrinkles become static and do not go away when our faces are at rest.³

Will aesthetic treatments lead to a “frozen face”?

Many people worry that aesthetic treatments will lead to a “frozen look.” You might have seen people who you thought had stiff facial features, and the truth is that this is usually the result of overtreatment.² It is actually quite easy to avoid overtreatment by speaking directly with a healthcare practitioner about your desired outcome.

Do people feel better after treatment of expression lines?

A clinical study evaluating the effectiveness of a treatment for frown lines showed significant changes after the treatment in the patient’s psychological well-being.¹ The study showed that aesthetic treatments for expression lines can have a much more profound effect than just changing our physical appearance.¹ Aesthetic treatments can, in fact, make us feel happier. When expression lines are reduced, we become more confident and have higher self-esteem.³
