While all visible signs of aging can be frustrating to manage, furrowed brows can be some of the most bothersome. Brow furrows do more than age you. They can also alter your facial expressions, making you look tired, frustrated, or less approachable.
Plenty of over-the-counter treatments and home remedies promise to help smooth a furrowed brow. Some of these treatments do make a difference, especially when your brow wrinkles are still shallow and less noticeable. But you wouldn’t be the first one to desire more dramatic results.
Once brow furrows deepen and become more pronounced, over-the-counter moisturizers and vitamin supplements rarely offer the relief you desire. That’s when med spa treatments, like those offered at Balance MedSpa, really become the way to go.
The Professional Difference
Why are med spa treatments so much more effective for furrowed brows than the treatments you can buy at a pharmacy or salon? It comes down to something we like to call “The Professional Difference.”
Every client’s skin is different. Some clients have dry skin, while others have oily or combination skin. Skin elasticity also varies from person to person. When you’re dealing with wrinkles such as eyebrow furrows, it’s important to choose treatments that align with your skin type. Trained professionals, like those at Balance MedSpa, can assess your skin type and determine which treatments are most compatible with your unique skin. You won’t have to waste months or hundreds of dollars on creams and serums only to find them ineffective – or worse yet, irritating. We’ll use our professional, evidence-based expertise to recommend treatments that work for you from the get-go.
When we suggest a treatment, we also analyze more than your skin. At Balance MedSpa, we treat each client as a whole person. That means working to understand your lifestyle, overall health, and schedule before suggesting a given treatment. For example, if you’re a busy working mom whose schedule’s already packed, we’re more likely to suggest treatments that can be completed on your lunch break – not a serum you have to remember to apply every 8 hours.
Faster Results
When you’ve been dealing with a furrowed brow for months or years on end, you probably don’t want to wait two or three more months to see whether an OTC cream makes a difference. You want fast results, and that’s something we can offer at Balance MedSpa.
Neurotoxins
Furrowed brows are often dynamic wrinkles. In other words, they appear or become more obvious when you contract the muscles across your forehead. Neurotoxins, like Botox® and Dysport®, are great for dynamic wrinkles like these. These treatments are injectables. Your practitioner will inject a small amount of the substance in key areas. The whole procedure only takes a few minutes, and you’ll feel very minimal discomfort during and after treatment.
Neurotoxins work by temporarily paralyzing the tiny muscles under your skin. You’ll still be able to smile, laugh, frown, and otherwise express your emotions, but you’ll no longer see your brow furrow every time you do. The results last several months, and whenever you feel the treatment beginning to wear off, you can schedule another session.
Dermal Fillers
Sometimes, a furrowed brow becomes static, or in other words, visible even when you’re not moving your facial muscles. If your practitioner notices that your brow furrows have become static, they may suggest dermal filler injections as a treatment.
Dermal fillers, like Radiesse® and Juvederm®, basically add volume to your skin. By “plumping up” the skin, they reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Like neurotoxin injections, dermal filler injections only take a few minutes to administer, and they cause very little pain. The results can last a year or more, depending on the product and your skin type.
An Integrated Approach
Another reason clients see better results with med spa treatments has to do with our comprehensive approach. While we may recommend neurotoxins or fillers for instant wrinkle relief, we’ll also explore other treatments and remedies to improve your overall skin health and keep your brow furrows from worsening over time.
For some patients, we may suggest monthly facials to hydrate your skin and reduce laxity. The HydraFacial, with DermaBuilder Booster Serum, is a favorite among those with aging skin! For other patients, the secret may lie in microneedling, a minimally invasive procedure that boosts collagen production, leading to improvements in tone and texture.
The bottom line is this: you deserve to smile when you look in the mirror! If a furrowed brow has you feeling frustrated, contact Balance MedSpa in Orlando. Our personalized, professional treatments make a real difference.
