I have recently been told at work and even when out with friends I have a worried, angry and/or concerned facial expression even though I am not stressed and have very little concerns. I’m a 23 year old male and tend to frown a lot without even knowing it. I notice it more after work as I work in an office environment and use a computer most of the day. My eyebrows tend to feel overworked as though I have given them a good workout, mostly in-between the brows.

Answer: Botox Relaxes Brow and “Frowning” Muscles Botulinum toxin is a neuromodulator that, when properly administered, will relax dynamic muscles, such as the ones you are giving such a workout by inadvertently frowning. Once the muscle relaxes, the skin smooths out and the wrinkles tend to disappear. The relaxed muscle will not engage in frowning while the Botox is working, and so the wrinkle will not be reinforced. Most patients find that the effects of Botox can last from three to four months. Please consult with a board-certified dermatologist.

Answer: Reducing frown lines
It is important to reduce squinting, so wearing sunglasses outdoors, and minimizing squinting at the computer (by looking away, resting the eyes, going for breaks) are important. Ultimately however, botulinum toxin like Botox is a particularly safe and effective way to treat the frown area and reduce this appearance of looking tired and stressed.
