Can my inherited glabella lines be treated? I am tired of people saying I look permanently upset, even when I am happy? (Photo)

Reallymee
Glabella lines run in my family and I have had them noticeable from 22 years old, but now one side is a really deep, permanent line causing people to comment if I am upset or angry. Even when I have tried to hold and stretch the skin, the deep line is very noticeable. I am now 51 and really conscious about it. Can anything be done please? In the photo I am nice and relaxed but still it looks like I am frowning!
