Frown lines, often called the “11 lines” between the eyebrows, are a common concern for many people. These lines can make you look angry, stressed, or worried even when you feel calm and relaxed. At Advanced Dermatology, we offer expert, non-surgical options for smoothing deep frown lines and helping patients achieve a more refreshed, approachable appearance

We proudly provide frown line treatment for patients across Chicago, Lincolnshire, Glencoe, and the surrounding area.

What Causes Frown Lines?

Frown lines develop primarily from repeated facial expressions over time. Each time you squint, concentrate, or furrow your brows, the muscles between the eyebrows contract. Over years of movement, these dynamic wrinkles can become etched into the skin and remain visible even when the face is at rest.

As collagen and elastin levels decline with age, the skin becomes less able to bounce back, making frown lines deeper and more noticeable.

Best Treatments for Frown Lines

Treating frown lines effectively requires an understanding of facial anatomy and muscle movement. A consultation with a dermatologist experienced in treating deep frown lines is key to achieving natural-looking results.

Neuromodulators for Frown Lines

BOTOX® Cosmetic, Dysport®, Xeomin®, and Jeuveau® are injectable medications designed to relax the muscles responsible for frown lines. These medications are also referred to as neuromodulators. By softening these muscle contractions, neuromodulators smooth existing lines and help prevent them from becoming deeper over time.

Benefits of neuromodulator treatment include:

  • Smoother skin between the eyebrows
  • A more relaxed, youthful appearance
  • Quick, in-office treatment that takes only minutes
  • No downtime and minimal discomfort

Results typically begin to appear within several days and can last three to four months.

When Are Fillers Used for Frown Lines?

In select cases, injectable fillers may be used to soften very deep, static frown lines that remain visible even when the muscles are relaxed. Fillers are used carefully and conservatively in this area to restore smoothness while preserving natural expression.

Supporting Treatments & Skincare

Medical-grade skincare products can help support injectable treatments by improving skin quality and slowing the formation of new wrinkles. While topical products alone cannot eliminate deep frown lines, they can enhance and maintain in-office results.

What Areas Can Be Treated with Injectable Fillers?

Injectable fillers are highly versatile and may also be used to address:

  • Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
  • Marionette lines (lines around the mouth)
  • Cheek volume loss
  • Under-eye hollows
  • Lip augmentation and vertical lip lines
  • Jawline definition
  • Chin enhancement
  • Temple volume loss
  • Certain types of acne scars

Your provider will assess your facial structure to determine the most appropriate treatment approach.
