Good tips for preventing frown lines include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Safe sun &#8211; avoid sun exposure, use a sun protection cream with SPF30+ even in winter and try to avoid the sun at its peak times<\/li>\n<li>Cut smoking &#8211; or at least cut back. Smoking restricts the amount of oxygen that can reach the skin&#8217;s cells so that skin loses its strength and texture<\/li>\n<li>Good diet &#8211; eating sensibly (including fruit and veg!) does have an impact on your skin&#8217;s health too<\/li>\n<li>Drink plenty &#8211; ideally water &#8211; to keep your skin well hydrated and supple. Avoid too much coffee and tea<\/li>\n<li>Good skincare practice &#8211; ensure that the skin is cleaned each morning and evening, and use a good moisturiser<\/li>\n<li>Avoid stress &#8211; this often makes you crinkle your forehead! Try to relax<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Treating Frown Lines<\/h3>\n<p>These preventative tips will help to keep your skin in good condition, potentially delaying the time and severity with which frown lines appear.<\/p>\n<p>However, for more proactive treatment,\u00a0<a title=\"Anti-Wrinkle Injections\" href=\"https:\/\/www.quinnclinics.co.uk\/treatments\/botox\/\">Botox<\/a>\u00a0anti-wrinkle injections offer exceptional results. A few injections into the fine dynamic facial muscles which cause frown lines will minimise their activity, so that the skin drapes smoothly and appears younger and line-free.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Anti-Wrinkle Injections\" href=\"https:\/\/www.quinnclinics.co.uk\/treatments\/botox\/\">Botox<\/a>\u00a0can also be used as a preventative measure. While very early use of botox is somewhat controversial, certainly patients in their late 20&#8217;s and early 30&#8217;s can benefit from subtle botox injections to prevent the facial muscle movements and therefore delay the onset of lines and wrinkles; thereby staying younger-looking for longer.<\/p>\n<h3>Before and after photos<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-8729 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.quinnclinics.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/BOTOX-frown-results.jpg\" alt=\"BOTOX frown results\" width=\"750\" height=\"375\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.quinnclinics.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/BOTOX-frown-results.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.quinnclinics.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/BOTOX-frown-results-600x300.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.quinnclinics.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/BOTOX-frown-results-320x160.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.quinnclinics.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/BOTOX-frown-results-540x270.jpg 540w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-8728 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.quinnclinics.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/BOTOX-Bristol.jpg\" alt=\"BOTOX Bristol\" width=\"750\" height=\"375\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.quinnclinics.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/BOTOX-Bristol.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.quinnclinics.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/BOTOX-Bristol-600x300.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.quinnclinics.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/BOTOX-Bristol-320x160.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.quinnclinics.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/BOTOX-Bristol-540x270.jpg 540w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The appearance of frown lines is one of the classic signs of ageing.
