Botox against frown lines
The frown line is the wrinkle that forms between the eyebrows (in the area of the glabella), for example, when we look angry. In everyday life, we frown or give a concentrated look and thus unconsciously encourage the formation of frown lines.
So if you want to get rid of your scowl and make a friendlier first impression, a frown line injection is exactly the right decision.

Is botulinum toxin effective for frown lines?
Yes, because botulinum toxin solves the problem at its source. Frown lines are caused by constant facial expressions. The more active the facial muscles, the more pronounced the frown lines. If you pay attention, you will see that most people draw their eyebrows together when they are stressed, concentrated or angry. The muscle relaxant relaxes the muscles so that the muscle movement is minimized for 4-6 months. As a result, the frown lines are no longer constantly strained and the frown lines are smoothed out. Future wrinkle formation is also prevented. Minimally invasive and uncomplicated for a youthful and natural glow.

Procedure for your injection against a frown line
This is how your appointment for frown lines works – your desired result in 4 steps:
Your doctor or specialist will analyze your forehead muscles and facial expressions to determine the optimal dosage. During your consultation, you will decide together with your doctor which dosage and which zones will give you your desired result.
The botulinum toxin is injected precisely into and around the frown lines using the finest needles. The treatment is virtually painless for you and only takes a few minutes.
You will see the first effects after 3-7 days: Your frown lines will smooth out and your face will look friendlier.
Two weeks after the treatment, we will look at the result together and check whether it meets your expectations. If your frown lines are still visible after 2 weeks, for example, we can easily correct them and inject them again.
How exactly is the frown line reduced?
Botulinum toxin temporarily inhibits the signal transmission between the respective nerves and muscles, in this case in the frown line. The more often the skin folds in the same place, the deeper the frown line becomes. Botox ensures that this movement does not occur in the first place. With the right dosage, the muscle activity can be relaxed in such a way that the wrinkles are minimized without giving you the “frozen face” look and affecting your facial expressions.
And the best thing? You can already see the first effects 3-7 days after the treatment. You will see the final result after 14 days.

The right care after your application:
Sport and physical activities
Avoid intensive sport for about 72 hours after your appointment. This allows the Botox to work undisturbed and your result will be just as you want it to be.
Intense heat and sun
Also avoid the sun, sauna and the like for three days, as heat can affect the result.
Alcohol and nicotine
Alcohol and nicotine can increase swelling and slow down the healing process. It is better to reduce your consumption a few days before and after the injection, or even abstain completely if you can.
Facial massages
After your treatment, do not go to the areas of your face that have been treated. In other words, do not massage the frown lines, forehead or eyebrow area. Otherwise you run the risk of the botulinum toxin slipping and affecting the result.
Regular refresher
You can repeat the treatment every four to six months. In this way, you will maintain an even result in the long term and can prevent new frown lines from forming.
Redness & swelling after application
Slight redness or swelling around the frown line is completely normal and usually disappears on its own a few hours after the procedure.
Makeup and skincare
We recommend that you wait 24 hours before applying make-up (especially around the frown lines) and facial care. In our experience, creams and facial cleansers can further irritate the skin and promote bacterial infections.
Downtime after treatment
You can carry on with your everyday life as normal immediately after the frown line injection and do not have to take any extra vacation.

FAQs - Here you will find frequently asked questions about the treatment of frown lines.
Are there any side effects of frown line injections?
As with all aesthetic treatments, side effects may occur in rare cases. Slight swelling, redness or small bruises may occur at the injection sites, but these usually disappear on their own after a few hours. In rare cases, a temporary weakening of neighboring muscles or asymmetrical facial expressions may occur. If any unevenness remains after two weeks, we will correct this for you free of charge at your follow-up appointment.
How long does the wrinkle treatment last?
The result usually lasts 4-6 months. After that, muscle activity slowly returns.
When can I expect the first results?
The best thing about treatment with Botox is the fast results. You can usually see the first results after 3-7 days. The frown lines are smoother and the skin around the eyebrows appears firmer. The full effect unfolds two weeks after the application, only then does a follow-up treatment make sense if necessary.
How often do I have to repeat the injection?
How often you need to refresh your Botox depends, among other things, on how quickly your metabolism works. As a rule of thumb, you can repeat the application approximately every 4-6 months. At the latest when the muscle activity starts again and you recognize the beginnings of your frown lines, you can come for a refresher.
What exactly is the difference between Botox and hyaluronic acid?
While treatments such as fillers (hyaluronic acid) provide volume in the skin, Botox works against frown lines by relaxing the muscles. Creams or non-invasive treatments can help superficially and temporarily against frown lines, but do not solve the cause. Botox ensures a long-term reduction in wrinkles by relaxing muscle movement.
Does the application only have cosmetic or functional benefits?
Botulinum toxin can have both aesthetic and functional benefits. For example, Botox can help with migraines, excessive sweating or even teeth grinding.
Is the injection of the frown line painful?
As the injection is carried out with very fine syringes, the treatment is hardly noticeable for you. In exceptional cases, we can apply an anesthetic cream before the treatment.
Can the effect of botulinum be reversed?
The body gradually breaks down the botulinum toxin. The muscle relaxation is therefore not permanent and must be regularly refreshed for long-term results. The body completely breaks down the muscle relaxant within four to six months, depending on the metabolism.
