Understanding frown lines
Frown lines are vertical or angled creases between the eyebrows that become more visible with concentration, squinting, or frowning. Wrinkles is a very common presentation of Frown Lines. With time, lines may remain visible when the face is relaxed. A separate rash, sore, or scaly patch in the same area may have another cause.
Ways to care for the area
Use gentle cleansing, moisturising, and regular sun protection across the forehead and between the brows. Avoid repeated rubbing or picking. If you are considering injections, peels, laser treatment, or another procedure, have a qualified clinician review your skin, medicines, allergies, and goals before treatment.
When to seek an assessment
Arrange a review if the skin between the brows becomes persistently red, itchy, scaly, tender, crusted, or bleeding, or if a sore fails to heal. Seek urgent help for sudden facial weakness, confusion, severe headache, or a new vision problem. Those symptoms are not routine features of frown lines.
Questions for a consultation
Ask whether the crease is consistent with frown lines, whether nearby irritation needs a diagnosis, which prevention measures fit your skin, and what benefits, limits, and risks accompany each treatment option.
