One of the most visible signs of aging is the frown lines, sometimes referred to as the "11s". These unwanted creases extend between and above the eyebrow, usually vertical. Frequent contraction and tightening of the facial muscles, such as with scowling or squinting, causes the skin to lose resiliency. Low levels of collagen can make your skin look thinner and less able to retain is smoothness as well. Frown lines are not limited to mature skin as they can happen in young skin due to genetics and sun exposure.
Botox minimizes the muscle contractions that draw the eyebrows together which softens the lines and prevents worsening of wrinkles.
