A pronounced glabellar lines between the eyebrows can make the face appear tired and tense, even though you may not feel that way at all. This vertical wrinkle is caused by repeated tension in the forehead muscles and becomes more pronounced with age. Many of our patients find glabellar lines disturbing because they unintentionally convey a grim or worried facial expression.
At our first-class Skinthetics practice in Düsseldorf, we offer you a proven and gentle method for the treatment of glabellar lines with Botox®. Dr. Lucija Grittern has many years of expertise in aesthetic dermatology and uses the latest techniques to achieve natural and harmonious results.
Wrinkle treatment with Botulinum toxin has established itself as a particularly effective method for smoothing glabellar lines and creating a more relaxed appearance. By specifically relaxing the muscles responsible, we can reduce wrinkles while preserving natural facial expressions. Our holistic treatment concept takes your individual needs and wishes into account to ensure optimal results in a luxurious atmosphere.
Botulinum toxin works by specifically and temporarily relaxing the muscles. For glabellar lines treatment, the preparation is injected precisely into the corrugator supercilii and procerus muscles—the muscles responsible for the formation of vertical wrinkles between the eyebrows. By blocking nerve impulses, the muscles relax, significantly reducing glabellar lines.
The effect usually sets in after a few days and reaches its maximum after about two weeks. Our expert, Dr. Lucija Grittern, doses the Botox® so precisely that natural facial expressions are preserved while the annoying glabellar lines are effectively reduced. The state-of-the-art equipment and techniques used in our practice ensure maximum precision and safety.
We understand the treatment for removing glabellar lines with Botox® to be a minimally invasive aesthetic method in which Botulinum toxin is injected specifically into the relevant facial muscles. This wrinkle treatment aims to smooth the characteristic vertical lines between the eyebrows and create a more relaxed facial appearance.
The glabellar lines are smoothed by temporarily paralyzing the hyperactive muscles. Unlike surgical procedures, this is a gentle treatment that can be performed as an outpatient in our practice. The results are reversible and usually last four to six months, allowing you to maintain control over your appearance.
