Frown Lines

What Are Frown Lines?

Frown lines, also known as glabellar lines, are the vertical lines that appear between your eyebrows when you frown.

These lines can make you look older, angry, tired, or stressed, even when you’re not.

Frown lines are typically caused by repetitive facial expressions, aging, and the gradual loss of skin elasticity and collagen.

Causes of Frown Lines

Common causes can include:

• Repetitive Facial Expressions: Frequent frowning or squinting can cause these lines to form over time.
• Aging: As we age, our skin loses collagen and elastin, which are essential for maintaining skin’s smoothness and elasticity. The older we get, the deeper these lines and creases can get.
• Sun Exposure: UV rays can break down collagen and elastin fibres in the skin, contributing to the formation of lines and wrinkles.
• Genetics: Some people are more prone to developing frown lines due to their genetic makeup.
• Lifestyle Factors: Stress, smoking, and poor diet can accelerate the aging process, leading to more pronounced frown lines.
