Over time, your daily facial expressions can leave their mark on your face. When you scrunch up your face frequently, it can cause deep lines between your eyebrows, commonly called frown lines or worry lines. These lines can make you appear tense or angry and can affect your relationships with others. Botox injections for worry lines help relax muscles to help you look more relaxed and refreshed.

How Botox for Worry Lines Works

Botox injections are an in-office procedure that can be done in about 10 minutes. The neurotoxin injection blocks nerve receptors that tell the muscles to contract and tighten. You are able to resume normal activities after the procedure.

Some swelling and redness can be expected for the first few days after treatment. It can take up to three weeks to see the full results of Botox for worry lines treatment. Repeat treatments may be needed once every six months to maintain results.
