Frown lines, those persistent furrows that develop between the eyebrows and along the forehead, are a common concern for many. They can make you appear older, tired or even angry. While countless creams and serums claim to help get rid of frown lines, those looking for more substantial, lasting changes are turning to professional treatments.
Below, we’ll discuss what causes frown lines, the frown line treatments available at Elite Body Contouring and other measures you can take to optimise the results of the treatments.
What causes frown lines?
Frown lines are caused by various factors, including:
- Ageing — As we age, our skin loses elasticity due to decreased collagen and elastin production. This natural process makes the skin less able to bounce back from movements, leading to wrinkles and lines, including frown lines.
- Facial expressions — Frequent and repetitive facial expressions, such as frowning, squinting or concentrating, can cause frown lines. When you make these expressions, the muscles between your eyebrows contract, causing the skin to fold. Over time, as our skin loses elasticity due to ageing, these lines can become deeper and more permanent.
- Sun exposure — Prolonged exposure to sun ultraviolet (UV) light can accelerate the ageing process by breaking down collagen and elastin fibres in the skin. This leads to premature ageing and makes the skin more susceptible to developing frown lines.
- Smoking — Smoking can contribute to the early formation of frown lines and other types of wrinkles. The chemicals in cigarette smoke damage the collagen and elastin in the skin, while the repetitive motion of taking a puff on a cigarette can exacerbate facial wrinkles.
- Genetics — Genetics also play a role in the development of frown lines. If your parents or grandparents developed frown lines early in life, you might also be more predisposed to having them.
- Stress — Chronic stress can lead to constant tension in the facial muscles, particularly those between the eyebrows. This tension can contribute to the development of frown lines over time.
How to make frown lines disappear with the help of Elite Body Contouring
At Elite Body Contouring, we provide safe, effective, non-invasive treatments for frown lines. Our state-of-the-art technologies are designed to deliver visible results with minimal downtime and discomfort.
As a leader in non-surgical aesthetic solutions, at Elite Body Contouring, we offer two frown line treatments — RF (Radiofrequency) Face Skin Tightening and HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) Non-Surgical Facelift.
- RF face skin tightening — a closer look
Radiofrequency skin tightening is a cutting-edge frown line treatment that uses energy waves to heat the dermis, the deep layer of your skin. This heat stimulates collagen and elastin production, the building blocks of smooth, firm skin. It targets your crow’s feet and under eyes, forehead lines and eyebrows, laugh lines and even neck and décollatage. During the session, clients can expect to feel a warming sensation in the treatment area, which is entirely normal.
Over time, this treatment can reduce the appearance of frown lines as the skin becomes more elastic and pliable. The treatment is painless, safe for all skin types and requires no downtime, anaesthesia or pain medication, making it an ideal choice for those with busy schedules. At most, you’ll notice minor redness in the treated area, which will likely disappear in a few hours’ time.
Results are noticeable from 4 to 12 weeks, the most lasting effects prominent with further sessions over an extended period.
- HIFU non-surgical facelift — revolutionary precision
HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) technology targets deep layers beneath the skin’s surface, heating them to stimulate collagen production without harming the surrounding tissue. The result is a lifting and tightening effect that can dramatically reduce the appearance of frown lines, loss of skin elasticity, crow’s feet, laugh lines and other signs of ageing.
The HIFU non-surgical facelift is known for its ability to provide significant results without the pain or need for downtime that comes with invasive procedures, leaving your skin looking more youthful in as little as 1 to 2 sessions.
- RF microneedling
RF microneedling is a safe and comfortable non-surgical treatment that addresses a range of complexion concerns, including the appearance of frown lines and wrinkles. This state-of-the-art, dual-action technology uses microneedling to create tiny punctures in the skin, triggering the body’s natural healing response while promoting collagen and elastin synthesis. At the same time, radiofrequency energy delivers controlled heat to deeper skin layers, further accelerating collagen remodelling and skin tightening.
After three to five treatments spaced four to six weeks apart, your skin will become firmer and smoother, minimising the appearance of frown lines while correcting uneven skin tone, texture, pigmentation and acne scarring.
