With increasing age, wrinkles and the fine line tends to appear, and in some case, they get deep such as deep frown lines, laugh lines and fine lines around eyes. If no home remedy is working in treating the deep lines then it’s the time you should think about taking professional deep frown lines treatment.

However, there can be several reasons for frown lines, the main reasons for which are explained below:-

Photodamage: The cause of forehead wrinkles may be photodamage arising from the ultraviolet rays of the sun. Free radicals from inside the skin due to UV rays, which damages the skin’s elastin fibers and generates wrinkles.

Age: Fibers called elastin and collagen provide softness and firmness to the skin. As the age increases, the collagen of the skin decreases, causing fine lines to appear.

Smoking: A person who smokes may face more wrinkles than people who do not smoke. Therefore, smoking can cause forehead wrinkle treatments.

Negative attitude on the forehead: Some people frown even when they talk. Due to this, frown lines appear to be deep.

Hormone changes: Due to hormonal changes in the body over time, wrinkles occur on the forehead. This problem is more commonly seen in women after menopause.

Lifestyle and medical conditions can be the other reason for the poor quality of the skin.

Topical retinol and retinoids are the most popular anti-aging creams on the market, but moisturizers with peptides also work well. Such topical creams are specially formulated to promote the formation of collagen in your skin. As a result, your skin feels full and naturally replenishes existing wrinkles. Apply the cream directly to the wrinkles of your forehead. Most of such treatments have narrow applicator tips, which makes them easy to apply. Other thinkable treatments include alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs), vitamin C, idebenone, growth factors, and pentapeptides.

Do not use any Gentle Chemical Exfoliant more than 2–3 times a week, such as a product with salicylic acid, glycolic acid, or hyaluronic acid. Exfoliating helps remove dead skin cells and better absorb skincare products in your skin, helping to reduce wrinkles. However, exfoliating too much can also have harmful effects.

Botox and other neurotoxins block nerve impulses, causing the muscles on your forehead to contract. As a result, your existing wrinkles do not appear and do not get deeper. In the beginning, you will only need 9–15 units to treat your frown lines. Apart from Botox, other common neurotoxins include Xeomin and Dysport.

Neurotoxin treatments are temporary, you will have to take another sitting of injections, approximately every 3–4 months. During this treatment, the doctor or technician will direct energy towards the affected area via a laser or pulsed diode. This procedure can take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour. Intense light will remove the topmost layer of skin making your skin smooth and free of lines.

There are other treatments available such as fillers, autologous fat, botulinum toxin, injection lipolysis to improve skin quality.
