Case History:
This gentleman was prone to frowning and did not want to look like he was angry all the time. He also has a slightly stronger frown strength on his left side compared to his right. 18 units of X was injected to strategic points along his frown line. The pre and post photos were taken 2 weeks apart and shows him trying to frown. Please note that individual results will vary.

The 2 main muscles that cause frowning are the procerus and corrugator supercilii muscles, as shown in the figure below. The corrugator supercilii muscles run across and above the eyebrows. They draw the brows together, creasing the skin in between. This causes one or two vertical lines when frowning and can become deeper with time. The procerus muscle is located in between the brows and causes bunching of the skin when frowning, resulting in horizontal lines.

Anti-wrinkle injections are carefully injected into strategic points along the length of the procerus and corrugator supercilii muscles. This relaxes the muscles, resulting in easement of the frown lines. Some people also scrunch up their nose when frowning, creating bunny lines. These can be treated (off label) in addition to the frown lines. Anti wrinkle injections are temporary, lasting 3 to 5 months.
