Frown Lines
Service Essentials
Frown lines can make us appear more angry and tired than we feel. When we squint, look surprised, look angry, strain at a computer screen or raise our eyebrows, muscle movement causes frown lines to appear. Frown lines sit between the brows and are usually assessed alongside forehead worry lines and crow’s feet, because those muscles work against one another. Dose matters more here than almost anywhere else on the face, which is why we have written about why the standard dose is usually wrong. You can see the full picture on our anti-wrinkle injections page.
