Frown Lines Injections
A Relaxed, Youthful Expression
Repeated movement of the muscle between the eyebrows, which creases every time you frown or squint, causes frown lines. This area, known as the Glabella, can be treated with a muscle relaxant that causes this underlying muscle to contract less. This is one of the most popular areas for muscle relaxant treatments. Frown Lines injections can smooth existing wrinkles and also stop the lines from becoming deeper by preventing the repeated muscle movements causing them. Patients with particularly deep frown lines may want to combine this treatment with dermal volumiser injections to “fill in” the indentations in the skin.
At Hamilton Skin Clinic, Nurse Jo uses only the highest-grade injectables to make tiny injections into the muscles underneath the frown lines to ease them into a state of relaxation, this effectively softens the appearance of lines and creates smoother looking skin.

What to expect from Frown Line Injections?
Frown line injections can be performed in our clinic in less than an hour. A thin needle is used to deliver the muscle relaxant directly into the muscle between the eyebrows and takes just a few moments. Following the injection, the wrinkle reduction product works by causing the muscle to relax.
After receiving a frown line treatment, you’re free to resume your normal activities as there is no required recovery period. This is why frown line injections have become a popular “lunchtime rejuvenation” treatment for patients seeking a quick treatment with no downtime.
Within about a week, the frown lines will have become less noticeable. The muscle relaxant that has been injected blocks signals from the nerves, causing the muscle underneath your frown lines to become weakened. Since the muscle can no longer fully contract, deep creases become smoother. Many patients report noticing differences in their frown lines within just a couple of days.
The effects of frown line injection treatment usually last 3-4 months. As the muscle relaxant wears off, the muscle under the frown lines will regain its ability to contract, and the lines will reappear. Many of our patients schedule regular injections to keep their frown lines at bay.
