Frown Lines Before and After Botax

The face wrinkle that is commonly deemed to be the most unpleasant is the frown line.  Imagine the eyebrows knotted together, as one would when one is facing the sun, but this time even when there is no sun. Imagine the frown lines present all the time whenever you are facing people. It gives people the impression that you are displeased with something or other. Ultimately people start avoiding you as they do not want to be the object of your displeasure or unhappiness.

In the beginning these frown lines are easily treated by the usage of botox injections. Also commonly referred to as Botax injections, these are purified toxins of a bacteria known as Clostridium botulinum type A. Injected into the muscles of frowning, they weaken or paralyze these muscles so the area of skin in between the eyebrows remains smooth as you talk to people, a most pleasant experience. A total of anywhere between 12 to 24 units of Botax is injected for an effect that lasts between 4 to 6 months.

Sometimes the frown lines have been in existence for too long, and the lines become permanent static wrinkles.  In this case the lines do not vanish completely even with Botax injection, and a face filler is needed to smoothen out the defect.
