What Are Frown Lines?

Wrinkles fall into two categories: dynamic and static. Dynamic wrinkles appear when facial muscles contract or are in motion, while static wrinkles are visible when facial muscles are at rest.

When our skin is young and healthy, it creases when we use our facial muscles but returns to normal when in its resting position. However, as we age, our skin takes longer to spring back, eventually leading to static or permanent wrinkling.

Frown lines typically start to become noticeable in our 30s. Initially, frown lines only show when we furrow our brow, but these lines start to show over time even when we are not frowning. Frown lines are caused by repeated movement, sun damage, smoking, normal aging, and genetics.

What Are Forehead Wrinkles?

Also called worry lines or forehead lines, forehead wrinkles are horizontal lines that span the length of the forehead above the eyebrows. They typically become more pronounced when a person makes a facial expression that raises the brow. Over time, these wrinkles become static and remain without facial movement. They are caused by repeated movement, sun damage, normal aging, and genetics.

Treatment Options for Your Wrinkles

Whether you have frown lines or forehead wrinkles, several treatment options are available to refresh and rejuvenate your skin. The best treatment for frown lines is neuromodulators such as Botox and Dysport. Botox and Dysport are FDA-approved to treat dynamic wrinkles such as frown lines, forehead wrinkles, and crow’s feet. Botox and Dysport temporarily inhibit muscle movement, preventing wrinkles and fine lines from forming. Dynamic wrinkles are lines caused by muscle movement, such as frowning, raising your forehead, or smiling.
