Upper Face Lines and Wrinkles

The consultation consists of 3 target areas:

1. Frontalis / Forehead Lines: We get horizontal forehead lines primarily from our forehead muscles contracting when we raise our eyebrows. This movement is often created by contraction of the frontalis muscle and in some people can create a tired or stressed appearance.
2. Glabellar / Frown Lines: Frown lines are vertical lines between and above your eyebrow that are the result from frowning, excessive expressions and aging skin. Like forehead lines, as we age these frown lines become more prominent often creating an angry, stressed or tired appearance.
3. Crow’s Feet: These lines and wrinkles are formed by contraction of the orbicularis oculi muscle around the eyes and occur on smiling, laughing or squinting. In some people, they are present at rest and can deepen with time to extend into the cheek areas creating a ‘tired or stressed’ appearance.

What can be done?
The lines in all three areas can become deeper the older you get and can be exacerbated sunlight and activities such as smoking. Depending on the dose used and the age you begin the consultation, there are techniques that our expert team and students will use to prevent lines from developing/ deepening or to soften existing lines. Elimination/ prevention of these wrinkles leads to a smoother and refreshed appearance.
