Your ultimate guide to Botox in Argrynkan

Before we delve into what can be done to reduce wrinkles, we would like to remind you that these lines are completely natural. Life and emotions simply leave their mark on the face and there can be a certain charm to it.

But sometimes these imprints can feel more like unwanted guests. They can make you look angrier and more anxious than you actually feel inside. And not only that, but worry lines can cause us constant tension and pain.

In this article, we'll go over what causes these wrinkles, and talk about strategies, including the popular botox treatment, to soften the glabella

Botox treatment for scarring: an overview

Botox has become a recognised and popular treatment over the years, and is particularly effective in treating glabellar lines, or the 'angry lines' between the eyebrows.

Why? Because we can place Botox in the specific muscles that lead to these lines.

When we repeatedly frown, squint or tense our forehead, we are exercising these muscles. As we age and lose elasticity and collagen in our skin, wrinkles form where the muscles are located.

Botox works to gently relieve these lines by reducing muscle contractions. It does this by blocking the signals from nerves to the muscles, leading to a softening of the lines in the glabella area. It also helps us to relax and feel lighter in the area we are treating.

You don't have to worry about Botox erasing all your expressions. The doses can be adjusted according to your preferences, so that instead it subtly reduces the intensity of muscle contractions for an updated, natural look.

It's not about changing who you are, but providing tools to help you look the way you feel inside. So whether you're considering Botox or other skincare treatments, remember to make choices that resonate with your comfort and confidence.

Enhance your botox treatment with red light therapy

While Botox in the forehead relaxes the muscles, making the lines less prominent, the simultaneous use of red and infrared light can ensure the effect of a smooth forehead by healthily increasing skin elasticity and collagen formation. It's a treatment we think everyone should benefit from. Read more about the treatment here.

However, we recommend that you wait with your red light therapy mask until 7 days after your botox treatment before continuing the use of the mask.

Duration and frequency of treatment

How often you get Botox depends on how your body reacts to it and the look you want. The individual metabolism plays a big role.

Usually, Botox treatments for the glabella wrinkles last between 3 and 6 months. After this period, you may notice the return of these lines, and it is at this point you may consider scheduling your next appointment. Some may need to come back earlier or later than that - remember, we all respond differently to any treatment or medication!
