Looking angry without being angry – that doesn’t have to be the case
A tense or grumpy facial expression often doesn't reflect how we actually feel—which makes it all the more disturbing when a pronounced frown line develops between the eyebrows over time. Initially, it's usually only visible during active facial expressions, such as when furrowing the eyebrows. But over time, the so-called glabellar line can become permanently etched into the skin—it persists even when relaxed.
An effective method for reducing or completely eliminating frown lines is treatment with botulinum toxin (Botox) or hyaluronic fillers. Botox has proven particularly effective in smoothing expression-related wrinkles, as it specifically reduces muscle activity and thus alleviates the constant tension in the forehead area. Facial features visibly relax, creating a softer, friendlier expression.
We would be happy to discuss with you in a personal consultation how your frown lines can be treated gently and effectively. Simply schedule an appointment with our experienced specialist Dr. Graß.
Removing frown lines: Who is the treatment suitable for?
Botox injections – possibly in combination with hyaluronic acid – are generally suitable for most people who are bothered by prominent glabellar lines. The procedure can help reduce both the first signs of fine lines and already clearly visible wrinkles.
Botox is injected specifically into the muscles responsible for furrowing the eyebrows. This relaxes this area, gradually flattening the frown lines. For particularly pronounced wrinkles accompanied by age-related volume loss, a complementary treatment with hyaluronic acid may be beneficial. The filler gently plumps the skin from within, creating a smoother, more youthful appearance.
In certain cases—for example, specific neuromuscular disorders—Botox treatment may not be recommended. We will, of course, inform you about possible exclusion criteria and discuss alternative procedures during a personal consultation.
What are the benefits of treating frown lines?
Injecting frown lines with Botox or hyaluronic acid offers a simple and effective way to smooth out annoying wrinkles in the forehead area. It directly targets the underlying causes—be they overactive facial expressions or diminishing skin volume.
Because we customize the active ingredient, dosage, and injection technique, we achieve particularly natural results. Your facial expression remains intact—you simply appear fresher, more relaxed, and younger.
The treatment is quick to complete, with minimal downtime. You can usually return to your normal daily routine immediately afterward. Since the effects are not permanent, you can decide for yourself whether and when you want to refresh the treatment.
How does the treatment work?
Preparation
Special preparation is generally not necessary. Before treatment, a detailed consultation takes place in which Dr. Graß discusses your wishes and expectations in detail. Together, we will decide whether Botox, hyaluronic acid, or a combination of both active ingredients will be used, and how the treatment should proceed in detail.
The treatment
Depending on the severity of the frown lines, one session may be sufficient. For deeper wrinkles, we may schedule several appointments spaced a few weeks apart.
The skin in the treatment area is cleansed and prepared with an anesthetic cream. Dr. Graß then uses a very fine needle to precisely inject the active ingredient into the desired area. Botox is injected directly into the affected muscle, supplemented if necessary with an injection of hyaluronic acid to plump and smooth the area.
The treated area is then cooled. The effects of hyaluronic acid are immediately visible, while Botox begins to relax the muscles after about three to five days.
Aftercare
After the procedure, you should protect the forehead area from direct sunlight, heat, and strenuous physical activity for a few days. Avoid saunas, tanning beds, and strenuous exercise during this time. Friction or pressure on the treated area should also be avoided.
Gentle cooling can help to reduce any slight swelling or redness. You can usually return to social activities immediately after the procedure and can use makeup to conceal any possible scars.
Are there any risks associated with treating frown lines?
Treatment with Botox or hyaluronic acid is very well tolerated when performed correctly. Both active ingredients have been tried and tested for many years and are considered safe. Since they are broken down by the body over time, no permanent changes are to be expected.
It's important that the practitioner has a thorough understanding of the facial anatomy to ensure the correct and targeted application of the active ingredient. With us, you benefit from the experience and expertise of a specialized physician who will perform your treatment precisely and responsibly.
Shortly after the procedure, minor reactions such as redness, swelling, or small bruises may occur temporarily. These are usually harmless and disappear quickly. If necessary, they can be easily covered.
Treating frown lines with Botox – for a relaxed facial expression
A pronounced frown line can make your face appear stern or tense – even if you don't feel that way. With a targeted Botox treatment, the muscles in the forehead area can be gently relaxed and your facial expression significantly harmonized. Dr. Christian Graß will be happy to advise you individually on the options for wrinkle treatment with Botox.
