I am 44 year old and have always had a deep frown line in between my eyebrows and my forehead is now full of wrinkles, this gives me a sad look.
I am not keen on plastic surgery!!!
Please help with your advice in how to reduce or get rid of the frown line & wrinkles.
Many thanks

Botox. Seriously. That or surgery. There really is no other way. Some foundations might lighten the appearance of the lines. But if you have a deep frown between your eyebrows, you will need Botox to paralyse the underlying muscle and smooth out the wrinkle.

A fringe

Absolutely agree Aquel. A lot cheaper than Botox too.

Thank you, but doesn't Botox have any side effects?

Fringe here too!

maman2012 · 30/07/2013 10:41

Yes, but I have a frizzy hair and a fringe will need straightening on a daily basis:(
Also, I read that Botox can give you headaches & migraines!!!

I have several small scars on my forehead from a car accident, and a wee birthmark. I have a lovely fringe too! Mine needs straightening every day, but it takes seconds to do, and because a fringe needs trimming regularly (which most salons do for free, so don't let that put you off) then there isn't the same heat damage that you might get on the rest of your hair.
I love my fringe....I fondly imagine that I look like a cross between Claudia Winkelman and Chrissie Hynde, but I suspect the reality is closer to ds1s pony Grin

Botox is fantastic if done right. I had 2 huge furrows between my brows - I looked permanently cross.

Botox has eliminated them and made me look so much 'fresher' (am 42). I dont have a single line on my forehead, but can still raise my eyebrows.
People constantly ask me what I use on my skin now!

I have had it twice now - it has lasted almost a year each time.
