How are glabellar lines formed? How can you prevent them?
It is a widespread imperfection that bothers men and women. It starts from the central area of the eyebrows and divides into various folds on the forehead, as when a sulky expression is assumed. They are due, as well as other facial wrinkles, to an aging of the skin, which gradually losing collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid over the years becomes drier, less toned and elastic. For this reason, the almost continuous facial expression in some individuals easily affects signs that it would not leave on a young and toned skin. From the age of 25 onwards, the skin slowly becomes thinner, about 1% every year: as it thins, it gradually loses its thickness, its fleshiness and its elasticity, managing to retain less and less moisture. The epidermis tries to react, creating new fibers in place of the weakened ones, but the process becomes slower and slower and wrinkles appear, which can be prevented with a facial gymnastics, the so-called morning grimaces, which are so beneficial to the wrinkles of the face. . In addition, it is important to wear dark glasses outdoors, especially in summer, to avoid squinting too much and frowning to defend against the attack of intense sunlight. A 50+ social protection should always be used even at home and even in winter and avoid making lamps, which are very harmful to the skin. Even too prolonged exposure to the sun especially in the hottest hours and salt water make the skin dry, favoring the onset of other wrinkles. This is why it is always good to rinse off after swimming in the sea and moisturize the skin. The application of anti-wrinkle and protective moisturizers must be a daily skincare routine that should be given due importance, as well as thoroughly cleansing the face before going to rest. But in addition to age and these factors, there are other causes that contribute to the formation of these wrinkles, being stressed, not eating healthily, not drinking enough to hydrate the skin well and constantly. Glabellar wrinkles are also due to genetic or environmental factors, which also cause premature atrophy of the subcutaneous tissue.

The first thing to change, if it is not healthy enough, is the diet, which should always include vitamin and antioxidant foods. In fact, vitamins and hydration are the first natural remedies against all wrinkles, including glabellar ones. Therefore, you need to consume a lot of fruit, vegetables, vegetables, very little meat and sausages and drink at least 2 liters of water a day, a food habit that is also useful for counteracting water retention. In addition, you must take care of your skin, using only high quality products and cleansing it assiduously, especially if you wear make-up. Using a good toner after removing make-up increases the elasticity of the skin. A valid advice is always to stop smoking and abusing alcohol, two bad habits that heavily affect the formation of these wrinkles. Patches are also a good remedy for glabellar wrinkles. Their name is frownies or anti-wrinkle facial patches or anti-wrinkle patches, effective in not making the skin shrink and very useful to make it recover tone and elasticity. There are various types: with glycerin, almond, lavender or other essential oils. You can buy them in pharmacies, herbalists and even online. Gymnastics is always good, even facial, which trains the muscles of the face in order to prevent or reduce the evidence of existing wrinkles. Facial gymnastics enhances skin tone and makes it less vulnerable to expression lines. In fact, the first cause of these are the contractions of the facial muscles. The forehead is a part of the face that is very prone to wrinkling. The horizontal frontal wrinkles, also known as "thinker's", arise precisely from continuously lifting the muscles of the forehead. A useful exercise is to lift the corner of the eyebrow arch, blocking it with the index fingers with a slight pressure or press with the fingers where the hair begins and, resisting, try to lower the eyebrows. You can hold the eyebrows for a few seconds. frown and then release it, repeating this exercise daily You can also do circular massages with your fingers by exerting light pressure. Massages done regularly ensure that wrinkles do not become too deep, they also stimulate blood circulation and relax our facial muscles, whose continuous contraction creates not only the glabellar, but also the lateral wrinkles of the lips. When you use the night cream in the evening, give yourself a nice massage on your face, helping yourself with rose quartz or jade stone rollers , thus obtaining a moisturizing, draining and anti-inflammatory effect together.
Cosmetic remedies, aesthetic medicine and plastic surgery
Moisturizers rich in vitamins, hyaluronic acid and ceramide also bring significant benefits to your skin and greatly reduce the problem of wrinkles. Glycolic acid also stimulates the production of collagen, which is a fundamental element for smooth, toned skin and without obvious wrinkles. Hyaluronic acid, which already exists in human connective tissue, helps to hydrate the cells in their renewal process. For proper skin care, vitamin C is also very effective as a collagen stimulator. As for aesthetic medicine, if you are not satisfied with these treatments, you can always contact a cosmetic surgeon for hyaluronic acid fillers, with small, painless subcutaneous injections, for which no anesthesia is required. If you also want to relieve the discomfort of the sting, the doctor can apply an anesthetic ointment to the area to be treated.These subcutaneous injections can cause at most a few bruises or edema which disappear in a short time. If the glabellar wrinkles problem is really fundamental for you, for an optimal resolution of the problem, you can resort to a laser treatment or botox injections or even a real facelift. But the specialist will decide which treatment is best for your problem, your skin type and your safety. Some types of surgeries are more invasive and may even leave visible scars. Therefore, it is good to think about it for a long time and not be tormented too much by this problem, as serenity embellishes our features more than any aesthetic medical treatment. The best treatment should be chosen taking into account various factors, such as the age of the patient, the area of wrinkles, the quality of the skin, to evaluate whether an aesthetic medicine treatment is sufficient or instead plastic surgery is required, if the skin aging and relaxation of the skin are very advanced. Therefore, the technique to be used must be chosen on a case-by-case basis. Hyaluronic acid is a filler (to fill in English means to fill), which volumizes the wrinkle and moisturizes the skin; on the other hand, the botulinum toxin does not fill, but blocks the muscle that causes the wrinkle in favor of the one that relaxes it. The "paralysis" effect however lasts about fifteen days, then the wrinkle becomes relaxed and the face regains its usual mimicry.
Other alternatives can be the fractional carbon dioxide laser, various radiofrequency sessions for light wrinkles or electrosurgical lifting. The final non-absorbable materials, such as silicone, are prohibited as they are very harmful to our body, especially as regards the immune system. Many surgeons practice liposculpture, an operation in which fat taken from other areas of the patient's body, such as the stomach, thighs and buttocks, is used to inject it into wrinkles. The difference between aesthetic medicine and liposculpture consists in the fact that, while hyaluronic acid is used in the first, in the second a material extracted from the patient's body is injected and not a medicinal product. Furthermore, the effect of liposculpture is quite long-lasting, as even if a minor part of fat is reabsorbed, much of it remains where it was injected. The best cure for wrinkles is to learn to relax the forehead and control the movements of the face, the relaxation of the forehead. Special massages are also effective. Try every now and then to see if you "feel" your forehead too much; if you perceive it as a part to itself it means that you keep it too tight and this increases wrinkles. Start with a balanced diet and not too intense physical activity. Try to rest longer, don't get stressed out, and try yoga. There is also facial yoga. Do a front scrub once or twice a week, so that the skin does not become too thick and spread the creams, smoothing and opening wrinkles with your fingertips starting from the eyebrow line upwards. And above all, get rid of that sulky expression and that frowning brow that you get from the glabellar. And smile at the waist, wrinkle or no wrinkle. But don't think too much about nasolabial ones!
