The very first cosmetic use of Botox® approved by the FDA was for treating the glabella, or frown lines, between the eyebrows. These vertical “11’s” and the horizontal furrow lines across the forehead are among the most common early signs of facial aging. At Eden Plastic Surgery Institute in Miami, Florida, we offer precise Botox injections to smooth frown lines and furrow lines, restoring a refreshed, youthful look to the upper face.
Why Furrow Lines Form
Years of squinting, frowning, and other facial expressions cause the underlying muscles of the forehead to repeatedly contract, folding the skin. Over time, as the skin loses collagen and elasticity, these dynamic wrinkles become etched into the skin and remain visible even when your face is at rest. Botox is highly effective for treating these expression lines, softening their appearance and helping prevent them from becoming deeper.
Smooth Away Frown Lines with Botox
Ali Charafeddine, MD, is a board-certified plastic surgeon trained at the Mayo Clinic and Cleveland Clinic who specializes in facial rejuvenation. He performs Botox injections with precision to achieve natural, balanced results.
Botox is a neuromodulator that works by temporarily relaxing the muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles. When injected into the glabella and forehead, Botox blocks nerve signals that trigger muscle contractions, allowing the overlying skin to smooth out. Results begin to appear within a few days and typically last about three months, revealing a smoother forehead and a more relaxed, approachable expression.
