Frown Lines

Frown lines, the vertical lines that appear between your eyebrows, get you down. In the last few years, doctors have begun treating these wrinkles with Botox injections that relax the forehead muscles and eventually result in a dramatic lessening of these lines.

If your brow muscles are working overtime, perhaps you want to give them a rest. These strong muscles engage when you frown, concentrate, or are surprised or startled, leaving lines engraved on your forehead.

Botox is injected into the muscles in the forehead (which contract repeatedly with your facial expressions), paralyzing them by preventing transmission of the nerve impulses that cause them to contract, says Brandt.

TIME

Botox injection is required at every 3 to 6 months of interval.

COSTS

The average cost is $350 per treatment.
