Frown Lines Melbourne

What Causes Frown Lines?

Frown lines are vertical lines that form between your eyebrows when you feel worried, angry or are concentrating too hard. They occur when the muscles of your frown pull your skin towards the centre of your brow, forming vertical folds or lines. The frown complex includes 3 main muscles – procerus, and the right and left corrugator muscles - which all act to pull the brow down. Repeated movement of the frown complex over time leads to ingrained frown lines.

Age-related bone and fat loss causes volume loss in your upper face that may exacerbate the appearance of your frown lines. This shrinkage of your facial foundations means that your skin has less support from below and is more likely to fold or crease with muscle movement. Age-related skin changes, with loss of collagen and elastin, also ensure that your skin is less able to spring back after being scrunched together, causing your frown lines to grow more deeply etched over time.

All of these changes are a normal part of facial ageing.

How Can The Dr. Jodie Clinic Help With Your Frown Line Concerns?

At the Dr. Jodie clinic, we offer comprehensive consultations for your frown line concerns.

A combination approach will likely be recommended to address your concerns, including medical treatments, skin care, skin peels, LED therapy, mono threads, Laser Genesis, and the Scarlet S Radio Frequency Microneedling.

Please note that any treatment that includes the use of schedule 4 medications cannot legally be advertised online, as directed by our governing body the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), so it is not a feature of our discussion here.

But consultation is always your first step.

What Is Involved In Your Dr. Jodie Clinic Consultation For Frown Lines?

Your Dr. Jodie clinician will first assess your pattern of frown lines, your strength of muscle movement, your degree of upper face volume loss, and your skin quality.  With knowledge of your past medical history, she will determine if you are a good candidate for treatment and consider which combination of solutions best suits your needs. Once ascertained, your Dr. Jodie clinician will create a personalised treatment plan that will be carefully explained so you understand the process involved, risks and benefits, and costs. You will have ample opportunity to have your questions answered and standardised photography will be employed to document your treatment journey.

Tailored Approach to Frown Line Concerns In Melbourne

When treating frown lines there are numerous misconceptions about cosmetic care and treatment plans. It is certainly not a ‘one size fits all’ process and you will never have to settle for a ‘cookie cutter’ approach at the Dr. Jodie clinic. Patterns of frown movement vary quite significantly. The strength of movement, too, can differ greatly, with men typically exhibiting bigger, stronger frown muscles than women. Bone and fat support and skin quality are other factors that fluctuate from person to person. You can relax knowing your Dr. Jodie clinician will tailor your treatments to your individual needs, carefully considering your priorities, lifestyle and budget, and will always strive for a subtle result.

Refreshed Focus For Frown Line Concerns In Melbourne

Frown line treatments, in the right hands, can give you a refreshed look. You will no longer be faced with being asked ‘what’s wrong?’ or ‘are you angry?’ when you actually feel happy and relaxed. It is important that your facial expression is congruent with your mood, so it is not misinterpreted by those around you.

Your Dr. Jodie clinician understands how vital it is to avoid tell-tale signs of cosmetic work and will always strive to provide subtle outcomes that are never overdone. She will endeavour to avoid some common treatment issues, such as ‘spocking’ (named after the unfortunate angled eyebrows of Dr. Spock from Star Trek) and the ‘memphisto’ sign (in memory of Elvis and his highly exaggerated arched brow). Your Dr. Jodie clinician has the knowledge and skillset required to avoid undesirable outcomes in frown line treatments, so you can feel confident and relaxed in our Melbourne clinic.

Some frown treatments will even help to elevate your brow, allowing your natural arch to be reinstated.

Best of all, your frown line treatments can soften your lines while allowing your face to still move, so no one will ever know you sought cosmetic intervention. With regular skin and other treatments, it is possible to fade your existing lines and prevent the development of new lines.
