How to Eliminate Frown Lines

October 19, 2015

Who needs frown lines? When frown lines start to show up, you want to know what your options are to smooth them away. Dermatology treatments range from creams you buy over the counter to injectable fillers that temporarily diminish them or more extensive treatments such as laser therapies.

Chronic stress will almost guarantee your chances of getting frown lines or deepening the ones you already have. Using your frown muscles weakens your collagen and causes restriction of blood vessels which cuts off the natural flow of blood to your face. So reduce your stress levels and worry less.

Frown lines naturally occur as you age because the elasticity of your skin becomes weaker. The forehead develops lines and furrows from concentrating or frowning.

Fillers
