What Causes Frown Lines to Form?

Frown lines can form through a process of repeated movements of the facial skin caused by the muscles in the forehead. Although age can also be a factor, repeated facial movements such as squinting or frowning can also contribute. This means that young adults can develop these lines.

The Process

First and foremost, we invite you to visit us in McAllen for a consultation. Here, we’ll discuss your expectations while exploring realistic possibilities. We’ll also learn about any health conditions or allergies that may interfere with your treatment.

How Does It Work?

With a single Dysport® injection into each of the five points above and between the eyebrows, the treatment can block the signal from nerve to muscle, which reduces muscle activity, temporarily preventing contractions that cause lines to form.

Please keep in mind that you should avoid Dysport® if:

• You’ve had prior facial surgical treatment
• Your face appears different from side to side
• Inflammation is present in the trouble areas
• You have saggy eyelid folds or droopy eyelids
• Deep facial scars are present
• Your skin is oily and thick
• You can’t smooth out your wrinkles by stretching your skin

Following Your Treatment

The great thing about Dysport® is that you can see your results with little downtime. In fact, over half of all patients who’ve received the treatment reported seeing results in as little as two to three days. Results can last up to four months. Ask us about any precautions or tips to follow after your session to ensure you get the best out of the treatment.
