Wrinkles between the eyebrows: ways to correct and get rid of eyebrow wrinkles

Eyebrow wrinkles are located vertically above the bridge of the nose and arise due to high facial activity of the facial muscles. The first facial wrinkles between the eyebrows can be noticed at a young age. The appearance of wrinkles depends not only on the condition of the skin, but also on a person’s facial expressions, for example, the habit of often raising eyebrows in surprise or frowning.

With age, as the synthesis of collagen and elastin decreases, pronounced folds between the eyebrows appear in place of facial wrinkles. Often, incorrectly selected glasses or contact lenses can aggravate the severity of wrinkles.

Causes

Eyebrow wrinkles occur for the following reasons:

High facial activity: the habit of frowning and drawing the eyebrows together leads to wrinkles appearing between the eyebrows in the area of frequent muscle contractions;
Smoking accelerates the aging process of the skin, negatively affects the quality of the skin and provokes the early appearance of wrinkles;
Loss of skin elasticity due to aging skin and decreased production of collagen and elastin;
Photoaging of the skin: under the influence of UV radiation, the skin loses moisture faster, which leads to exhaustion, dehydration and the appearance of wrinkles.

Gymnastics, exercises, face building

Along with finger massage, it is useful to conduct daily face-building sessions.

The procedure is based on performing simple but effective exercises.

Little engine. A very pleasant exercise, and also very useful. Place the index and middle fingers of both hands in the center of your forehead. Make movements that resemble “steps”, moving your fingers in different directions - towards the eyebrows. Then go back and “walk” for a few seconds at the starting point, feeling the tension in the area of the eyebrow fold go away. Repeat the exercise 3 times.
Ripple. Place the index and ring finger of your left hand at the base of your eyebrows. The index finger is on the left side, the ring finger is on the right. Place your middle finger in the middle of your forehead, as close to your eyebrow line as possible. Close your eyes, breathe evenly and calmly. Start making light pulsating movements with all your fingers at the same time. You should feel vibration and response pulsation of the facial muscles.
Place the palms of both hands on your forehead and firmly fix them in one position. Try your best to pull them towards the top of the head, but do not lift your fingers from the skin. At the same time, raise your eyebrows so as to provide resistance and prevent the skin from being pulled back. Repeat the exercise 3-4 times.

Carry out such light face-building sessions every day. 10-15 minutes of such exercises are enough, and soon you will be surprised at the results obtained.

We grab our horizontal wrinkle with two fingers (at the bridge of the nose - approx.), and begin to rub it from the inside. We do this for 30 seconds. The essence of this technique is to soften the fascia and smooth out the bottom of this crease. The video was filmed and posted on the YouTube channel of Oksana Levina, beauty and health coach. Broadcast on March 4, 2022.

Recommendations from cosmetologists and prevention

Preventive measures necessarily include regular facial skin care: cosmetics for home care should be selected according to your skin type and current problem.

The second important stage in wrinkle prevention is ultraviolet protection. Aggressive exposure to sunlight leads to premature aging of the skin (photoaging). EMC cosmetologists recommend protecting your skin from the sun throughout the year: you need to apply sunscreen after applying your basic care, 20 minutes before going outside. Protection needs to be updated every 2-3 hours.

Professional skin care is another condition for maintaining youthful and beautiful skin. EMC recommends multi-care using the GeneO+ device. During 1 procedure, the Geneо+ device (Israel) uses 4 technologies simultaneously:

skin oxygenation (deep cleansing and saturation of the skin with oxygen),
stimulation of the synthesis of new collagen due to dosed exposure to RF energy, deep nutrition,
massage to normalize muscle tone and relieve facial swelling.

The synergy of technologies enhances the effect of the techniques, reducing signs of skin aging, smoothing wrinkles, restoring the functions of skin cells and activating its internal resources.

Homemade masks for forehead wrinkles

At home, you can prepare special masks for wrinkles in the forehead area. A paraffin mask will be especially useful.

To prepare the mask, 20-25 g of cosmetic paraffin or wax is placed in a small container and heated in a water bath until melted. A gauze bandage, folded in two or three layers, is moistened in the molten mass, then squeezed out, stretched with both hands and quickly applied to the forehead, retreating 1 cm from the border of the scalp and eyebrows.

The skin of the forehead should not be strained, and the forehead should not be wrinkled. The bandage should be kept on the forehead for 15-20 minutes. To remove the bandage, first separate the edges with a spatula, and then remove the entire bandage with your fingertips. The remains of the mask are removed from the forehead with a dry cotton pad.

After removing the bandage, the face is lubricated with a nourishing cream. Masks for wrinkles on the forehead should be applied once or twice a week. They help smooth out wrinkles on the forehead, and also teach you not to wrinkle your forehead.

In addition, high-quality alginate masks are now on sale. The effect of using such a mask will be amazing, and alginate masks perfectly moisturize the skin of the face.

How to get rid of eyebrow wrinkles

You can remove wrinkles between the eyebrows without resorting to surgery:

Botulinum toxin injections (botulinum therapy) are today the best remedy for correcting wrinkles between the eyebrows. When administered, botulinum toxin reduces the activity of facial muscles, allowing, due to their relaxation, to remove eyebrow wrinkles. The effect of the drug is absolutely safe; after 4-6 months, botulinum toxin naturally resolves.
Injections of hyaluronic acid are effectively used to correct wrinkles of varying severity: from facial to deep. When administered, the drug gel fills wrinkles and folds from the inside, smoothing the skin and eliminating signs of aging. The effect of fillers lasts from 6-12 months.
With the help of hyaluronic acid injections, you can get rid of many other aesthetic imperfections - strengthen the oval of the face, correct nasolabial folds and nasolacrimal grooves, add volume to the lips and cheekbones.
Biologique Recherche facial care procedures can solve many aesthetic problems: correction of eyebrow wrinkles, superficial and deep lifting, modeling the facial contour and eliminating puffiness, nourishing and deeply moisturizing the skin, solving the problem of rosacea, improving complexion. The complex effect of the brand’s active products with the use of the Remodeling Face microcurrent therapy device gives stunning results. The results are visible after the first procedure: the oval of the face is tightened, wrinkles become less noticeable, and the skin gains radiance.

Contraindications, possible complications

The longest list of contraindications for cosmetic procedures. The issue must be raised during a preliminary consultation with a specialist. Common to all procedures are:

bearing and breastfeeding a child;
the presence of any chronic diseases, especially in the acute stage;
oncology;
autoimmune diseases;
low blood clotting;
thinness and hypersensitivity of the skin, tendency to form rough scars;
dermatological diseases, mechanical damage to the skin;
facial neuralgia;
inflammatory process in the body (even a cold).

The body of a pregnant woman is undergoing a radical hormonal change - it is impossible to predict how it will react to any intervention

The main complication is infection during or after the session and subsequent inflammation and suppuration. Burns, scars, extensive hematomas, and damage to the facial nerves are also likely. All this is a consequence of non-compliance with the procedure or an error in the dosage of drugs, so you need to choose a cosmetologist very carefully.

Gymnastics and massage are contraindicated for problems with the facial nerves, the presence of incompletely healed wounds on the skin of the face, scratches, abrasions, or simply feeling unwell. Mechanical damage also prevents the application of creams and masks. Also, any cosmetics should not be used if you are allergic to them. Any new product must be tested by applying it to the skin of the forearm. If after 30–40 minutes her condition and appearance have not worsened, her face will not suffer either.

Allergies can be caused by almost any substance, no matter organic or synthetic.
