A frown wrinkle treatment is done with a muscle relaxant and/or fillers. It is a simple procedure, and therefore no surgical treatment is needed. In most cases, the frown wrinkle can be treated well with a muscle relaxant. Betan Clinics only uses muscle relaxants from reputable and reliable manufacturers. When treating with a muscle relaxant, you will receive an injection with a very fine needle. You hardly feel this. Therefore, you will not be anaesthetized. The plastic surgeon injects a small amount of muscle relaxant into the muscle, and this ensures that the nerves no longer send a signal to the muscles. In this way, the muscles can no longer tighten and wrinkles disappear. Consequenty, removing a frown wrinkle is relatively easy. Usually, the treatment takes 5 to 10 minutes. You will then have red and swollen skin for a few hours. This does not hurt any further. A frown wrinkle can also be reduced using fillers. The plastic surgeon uses advanced fillers of reliable brands that are only temporarily effective. They contain hyaluronic acid that makes the skin supple and resilient. No animal components are used, and the fillers are 100% biodegradable. As a result, they will rarely cause allergic reactions. The fillers help to remove the frown wrinkle and ensure even skin. The plastic surgeon will inject the filler with a thin needle or cannula. You will be anaesthetized with the anaesthetic lidocaine, because otherwise, the injections may be somewhat sensitive. The filler is injected in steps, and on average, the treatment takes 15 to 30 minutes. After this treatment, the skin can also be red and swollen.

Treating a frown wrinkle with a muscle relaxant or fillers often leads to somewhat red and swollen skin. In both cases, this will disappear within a few hours. A bruise can occur with fillers. It will disappear after a few days. Reducing a frown wrinkle does not cause any pain. It is recommended to keep your head straight as much as possible during the first few hours after treatment. For example, do not lie down for the first 2 to 4 hours or bend down frequently. Otherwise, the muscle relaxant may sag out to other parts of the face. In addition, do not exercise on the same day.

Removing a frown wrinkle by means of a muscle relaxant has a good, clearly visible result. In most cases, a treatment with a muscle relaxant is chosen. The result is usually only visible after a few days. In some cases, it can take up to 2 weeks before the frown wrinkle is completely gone. In most people, the result remains up to 3 to 4 months after treatment. If you have the frown wrinkle treated more often, the effect will last longer. You will then no longer suffer from frown wrinkles for up to 6 months after treatment. Have you chosen fillers? In that case, the result will be visible immediately after the treatment, and the effect will last longer. On average, you will have 12 to 18 months less or no frown wrinkles. After that, you have the choice whether you want to be treated again with a filler or a muscle relaxant.

The removal of a frown wrinkle is a relatively minor procedure. Therefore, little can go wrong. For example, a muscle relaxant hardly ever has any side effects. Sometimes an allergic reaction can occur. It also happens in 1 to 2% of the treatments that natural antibodies are produced, and therefore there is a minimal effect. Treatment with fillers also carries little or no risks. Betan Clinics does not use permanent fillers. These are prohibited in the Netherlands because they cannot be broken down in the body. This can cause complications. Fortunately, this is not possible with the fillers used by the plastic surgeons of Betan Clinics. They are non-permanent and can be completely broken down in the body. So you don’t have to worry that something will go wrong. Please note: there are risks for certain people. They are not allowed to undergo muscle relaxant or filler treatment. These are pregnant women, women who are breastfeeding or people who have a muscle or nervous disorder. If you do not fall into one of these categories, you can confidently opt for treatment with a muscle relaxant and/or filler to have your frown wrinkle removed.
