If you are tired of looking at frown lines in the mirror, you have come to the right place. With PlasmaPen, it’s time to turn that frown upside down and give your skin a much needed boost. We know how disheartening it can be to see fine lines and wrinkles, but there is something especially noticeable about frown lines. This is why so many people find themselves wondering how to get rid of frown lines, and weighing up the available treatment options. In this blog, we have taken a look at the most effective frown line treatments, including fibroblast treatment and PlasmaPen.
What Causes Frown Lines?
There are a number of factors that cause frown lines. It’s impossible to avoid frown lines completely – simply, frown lines are a natural part of the ageing process and they are bound to appear eventually – but there are things that you can do to reduce how severe and noticeable they are. Below, we have listed some of the main causes of frown lines, and we have highlighted what you can do to help.
- Ageing – As you age, your skin loses elasticity and collagen. This is a natural part of getting older, but it does contribute to wrinkles and fine lines forming, including frown lines. Though you can’t avoid the ageing process altogether, you can combat frown lines in other ways, such as fibroblast treatment.
- Sun Exposure – The UV radiation that comes from the sun can cause significant damage to your skin, which is why it’s so important to wear a good sun cream when you are out and about. UV radiation damages the collagen and elastin in the skin, which speeds up the ageing process if you’re not protected. This means that wrinkles, including frown lines, could appear sooner than you would like.
- Facial Expressions – You are always making facial expressions; when you talk, laugh, cry, sing and squint, even when you are sleeping. Facial expressions are hard to avoid but, unfortunately, repetitive facial expressions are one of the main causes of frown lines. This is because facial expressions cause the muscles between your eyebrows to contract, which causes lines to deepen time.
- Sleep – Everyone needs their beauty sleep. Without it, you run the risk of developing frown lines far sooner than you would like. Poor sleep quality and a lack of sleep can be stressful on the body, which may speed up the ageing process and contribute to the formation of wrinkles. If you want to get rid of frown lines, prioritise feeling rested.
- Smoking – There is no denying that smoking is bad for your health, but it’s also bad for your skin. Smoking reduces blood flow to the skin and reduces your skin’s oxygen levels, as well as releasing harmful chemicals that contribute to the breakdown of collagen. Like sun exposure, this can lead to premature ageing and the formation of unwanted frown lines.
- Hydration – When it comes to looking after your skin, hydration is key. A lack of hydration makes your skin more prone to developing fine lines, wrinkles and frown lines. Hydrated skin is healthier and a lot more supple, enabling it to better handle everything that comes its way. When your skin is hydrated, it’s better equipped to slow down the formation of wrinkles.
How to Get Rid of Frown Lines
There are a variety of ways to reduce the appearance of frown lines, some of which provide temporary benefits and others, such as fibroblast treatment, offer a more permanent solution.
Massage
One way to reduce the appearance of frown lines is to massage the affected area. Massaging improves circulation, encouraging blood flow to the wrinkles area. It can also help to relieve muscle tension and encourage toxins to leave the body. With more blood flow in the area, comes more oxygen, which helps to minimise the appearance of frown lines. To get rid of your frown lines via massage, smooth the frown lines across your forehead, focusing on reaching all of the muscles.
Aloe Vera
You will see a lot of beauty products, especially moisturisers, with aloe vera listed as a key ingredient. There is a good reason for this, as aloe vera can actually help to soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Aloe vera contains molecules called sterols, and these promote the production of collagen. As we explained above, collagen is a key part of keeping the skin looking youthful and refreshed. With aloe vera, the skin is able to look its best, and wrinkles will look less noticeable. Though aloe vera doesn’t get rid of wrinkles completely, leaving it on for 20 minutes and then rinsing it off can make a significant, short term difference.
Fibroblast Treatment
If you are looking for a more permanent or obvious way to get rid of frown lines, consider fibroblast treatment. Fibroblast treatment is a non-invasive and non-surgical way of reducing the appearance of frown lines. It uses a stream of energy to make very small wounds in the skin’s surface. Though this causes a very small amount of damage, it also encourages fibroblast cells to produce more collagen and repair the targeted area. As more collagen is produced, the skin becomes tighter and firmer, which reduces the appearance of wrinkles. Fibroblast treatment is done using a PlamsaPen device.
At PlasmaPen, we know how disappointing it can be to see your frown lines deepening. Not only can it knock your self-confidence, but it can also make you look older than you are.
