Non-Surgical Frown Line Correction at Albany Laser in Edmonton
Frown lines, also known as “11 lines” or “glabellar lines,” are wrinkles that form between the eyebrows and can make you look tired, angry, or stressed. While these lines are a natural part of aging, they can be treated with non-surgical cosmetic treatments like Botox. At Albany Cosmetic and Laser Centre in Edmonton, we offer non-surgical frown line correction to help you restore a youthful and refreshed appearance.
What is Non-Surgical Frown Line Correction?
Non-surgical frown line correction is a cosmetic treatment that uses Botox to temporarily relax the muscles that cause frown lines. The treatment works by injecting a small amount of Botox into the muscles that are responsible for the frown lines. The Botox then blocks the release of acetylcholine, the neurotransmitter that is responsible for transmitting signals from the nerve endings to the muscles. This prevents the muscles from contracting and temporarily relaxes the muscle, reducing the appearance of frown lines.

What to Expect from Non-Surgical Frown Line Correction
- The non-surgical frown line correction procedure is quick and easy, taking only a few minutes to complete. Your provider at Albany Cosmetic and Laser Centre in Edmonton will use a fine needle to inject the Botox into the target muscles. You may experience some mild discomfort during the injection, but this is usually minimal and well-tolerated.
- After the treatment, you may experience some swelling and redness in the injection site, but these side effects are usually mild and go away within a few days. You should be able to return to your normal activities immediately after the treatment, although your provider may advise you to avoid strenuous activity for a few hours.
- The results of non-surgical frown line correction can be seen within a few days, and the full effects of the treatment will be visible within a week or two. The results of Botox treatment are temporary and will typically last for up to six months, after which the treatment will need to be repeated to maintain the results.
Frowning Muscles
In non-surgical frown line correction, the muscles that are targeted are the corrugator supercilii and procerus muscles. These muscles are responsible for the formation of frown lines between the eyebrows.
- The corrugator supercilii muscle is a small muscle that runs from the bone above the eye socket to the skin of the eyebrow. It is responsible for pulling the eyebrow down and inwards, causing the skin to wrinkle and form frown lines.
- The procerus muscle is a small muscle located between the eyebrows that is responsible for pulling the skin down and inwards, causing the skin to wrinkle and form frown lines.
- By injecting Botox into these muscles, the release of acetylcholine, the neurotransmitter that is responsible for transmitting signals from the nerve endings to the muscles, is temporarily blocked. This prevents the muscles from contracting and temporarily relaxes the muscle, reducing the appearance of frown lines.
It’s important to note that non-surgical frown line correction is not a one-size-fits-all treatment and the specific muscles that are targeted may vary depending on the individual’s needs and goals. Your provider at Albany Cosmetic and Laser Centre in Edmonton will work with you to determine the best course of treatment to achieve your desired results.

Say Goodbye to Frown Lines with Botox Injections
One of the most popular treatments for frown lines is Botox injections. Botox blocks nerve signals to certain facial muscles, which prevents them from contracting and forming dynamic wrinkles on your face. It is an affordable procedure with virtually no downtime, making it an attractive option for individuals who want to reduce their frown lines without going under the knife.Botox injections work best if used in combination with lifestyle changes such as reducing smoking and alcohol consumption, wearing sunscreen daily, getting adequate sleep, avoiding squinting, and regularly applying moisturizers or anti-aging creams that contain retinoids or peptides. Additionally, skin rejuvenation procedures such as laser resurfacing can help smooth out deep wrinkles caused by aging or sun damage that might not respond well to Botox alone.
