Frown lines between the brows are caused by the contraction of two muscles. As the muscles contract, they bring the brows together (frowning) which over time causes lines to appear. These lines may make a person appear more severe, unhappy and older than you wish to appear. Botox is a purified protein which is administered by tiny injections into the muscles and prevents the muscles from contracting. Since the muscles are not drawing the brows together, the wrinkle lines relax.

Restylane and other fillers such as Cosmoderm can smooth out the deep wrinkles and folds of the face. Restylane is non-animal stabilized hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring human substance which can be injected into the deep folds occurring between the nose and lips (the nasolabial fold) thereby smoothing out the skin. Restylane restores volume and fullness to the skin to correct and improve wrinkles and folds. It is a hydrophilic dermal filler which means that it attracts and binds to water to help maintain its shape. Over time the hyaluronic acid will degrade but the results will last 6-8 months.
