The #1 reason that brings a patient to our injector’s chair: these pesky scowl lines (or “11s” as some say). This responsible muscle complex is strong - and smack dab in the middle of our faces. Left unopposed, these muscles will continue to inflict damage on the skin between the brows, leaving scarred lines. Arguably the best thing you can do is prevent the contraction altogether by injecting this muscle complex with a wrinkle relaxer like Botox. It’s hard for the skin to stand a chance when a strong muscle remains active in the background.
If the skin is already scarred by the repetitive contractions over decades, it becomes that much more important to remain consistent with wrinkle relaxer injections - but also to incorporate other modalities to help break down the damage. We love medical grade retinols/retinoids, microneedling, or laser resurfacing (anything to promote collagen production) to buff out the scarring and improve the resilience of the skin.
