Several modalities exist to treat frown lines, one of which is laser. Some patients opt for a less invasive treatment such as Botox or fillers, which achieve temporary results. Other patients want more permanent correction such as a browlift with permanent treatment of those muscles that cause the deep frown lines.

Yes. As we stated above, frown lines are one of the most common reasons that patients seek browlifts. Patients tell us about hearing comments such as "she looks angry" when, in fact, they are very good natured. Frown lines are more often the effect of the corrugator muscles and premature aging. Some of the deepest lines may not completely resolve, however they will be significantly improved. Adding a finishing touch with filler or resurfacing options provides optimal results.

Collagen, Restylane, and Hyaloform plus may all work in this area, depending on the depth of the furrow. Dr. Spence often injects BOTOX® along with the filler to prolong the effect of the filler. When the muscles are relaxed the furrows are less deep and the fillers last longer.

It depends on the scars. Sometimes combining a full face laser resurfacing with dermabrasion of the deepest acne scars is the best approach. Other times, resurfacing by itself is not enough. Preparatory surgery such as scar excision or the use of fillers such as fat injections prior to dermabrasion may be needed to achieve an optimal result. Excision of multiple deep, pitted acne scars may be performed over several sessions. These must be evaluated on an individual basis.

The lines that appear between your brows actually result from muscle movement and the passage of time. Two muscles are largely responsible for frown lines between the brows. When those muscles contract, they draw the brows together. As skin becomes less elastic over time, repeated frowning can result in those moderate to severe lines between the brows.

We use our facial muscles for smiling, frowning and other expressions and, over time, prominent lines are formed in the outer layers of skin. A substance called Botox can be injected into these overactive muscles to cause temporary paralysis and smooth these problem areas.

Laser resurfacing, also known as laser dermabrasion, is a technique for smoothing fine wrinkles of the skin. Various types of lasers, made up of energetic beams of focused light, can be applied to the skin in short pulses to remove irregular contours, discolored areas, tattoos, or blood vessels.

For most patients, a limited anatomical area such as around the mouth (perioral) or one or two scars, patients remain awake. For full-face skin resurfacing, patients are asleep.

Understandably, after any surgical procedure, some discomfort can be expected. All patients are provided with prescriptions for pain medication. Most patients who have laser surgery say how surprised they are that the pain is less than they anticipated. Pain is well managed with medications. Patients who undergo full face skin resurfacing complain much more about wanting to have a clean face and keeping the face moist with ointments or dressings than they do about pain.
