Frown lines (also referred to as the elevens) are vertical creases between the eyebrows. They develop over time from emotional expressions associated with anger or worry. However, many people are concerned that frown lines appear when they are not necessarily feeling negative emotions. And this can send the wrong message to other people.
Why Do Frown Lines Form?
Frown lines occur as a result of over active muscles between the brows. Therefore, one of the most effective ways for getting rid of them is by relaxing these muscles.

BOTOX FOR FROWN LINES
Botox is an injection that affects the nerves and the muscles. It will prevent nerve cells from releasing a chemical that normally signals the muscles to contract.
Botox will relax the frown line muscles to correct the appearance of vertical wrinkles between the brows.

DYSPORT FOR FROWN LINES
Dysport is an injection that is almost identical to Botox. However, it’s chemical structure has fewer proteins. Some patients will experience a higher level of tolerance due to this slight difference. As a result, Dysport may produce better results for these individuals.
Here is a male patient who was not seeing improvement from using Botox for frown lines. His Dysport experience was quite different.

RADIESSE FOR FROWN LINES
Some individuals may not want an injection like Botox and Dysport. Radiesse may be a better choice. Although the injection will not affect the muscles, Radiesse will fill in wrinkles between the brows so that they are less visible. Here is an example of a patient who had this done.

BELOTERO FOR FROWN LINES
Belotero is an injection that can be used to fill shallow frown line creases between the brows. It has a unique chemical structure that allows it to be injected superficially.
Here is another example of a patient who did not want to use Botox or Dysport. However her frown lines were very faint. So Belotero was used to fill them.
