What Causes Glabellar Lines?
Glabella lines are often called “elevens” due to their distinctive appearance. If left unaddressed, these wrinkles can get deeper and remain even when you’re not moving your facial muscles. These wrinkles can develop due to a combination of causes, including genetics, the tightness of your skin, muscle activity, face shape, and various other factors.
As collagen production declines, these lines may remain permanently on your forehead, evolving into wavy furrows. While using certain skincare products and avoiding direct sun exposure can help slow this process down, it is difficult to keep these routines up.
What Are the Treatment Options?
Injectables like BOTOX® Cosmetic can be an excellent option for restricting muscle movement and thus reducing glabellar lines. These treatments are made of botulinum toxin, which can safely alleviate the appearance of wrinkles when administered in small doses. Best of all, these injections don’t require downtime and can last for several months.
What to Expect?
BOTOX® Cosmetic injections take roughly 10 minutes to administer on average. With these kinds of injections, you should see results in about 24-48 hours. Some mild bruising and redness may occur after the injections. It takes roughly 30 days to see the most benefits after the injections. Follow-up treatments are available if you want to maintain your results for the long term.
