Introduction
In most cases, a vertical wrinkle between the eyebrows may be caused by genetic factors, frequent frowning, skin aging, trauma, or muscle tension. It can be improved through treatments such as botulinum toxin type A injections, microdermabrasion, fractional laser therapy, or thread lifting. It is recommended to consult a professional doctor to determine the most suitable treatment plan for individual needs.

In most cases, a vertical wrinkle between the eyebrows may be caused by genetic factors, frequent frowning, skin aging, trauma, or muscle tension. It can be improved through treatments such as botulinum toxin type A injections, microdermabrasion, fractional laser therapy, and thread lifting.

For wrinkles caused by genetic factors, improvement can be achieved by enhancing daily skincare to maintain skin hydration and elasticity. If caused by habitual frowning, one should try to avoid frowning and similar facial expressions; improvements can be made by smiling more, relaxing the eyebrows, and gently massaging the skin between the brows with fingers. For those due to skin aging, consuming foods rich in vitamin C, vitamin E, and collagen—such as oranges, kiwis, donkey-hide gelatin (ejiao), and pig trotters—can help improve the condition. Trauma-induced wrinkles may be treated with radiofrequency ablation. For wrinkles resulting from muscle tension, facial muscle relaxation exercises such as deep breathing and facial yoga can be beneficial.

Overview

Botulinum toxin type A injections block neuromuscular transmission, reducing the contraction ability of muscles responsible for vertical glabellar lines, thereby smoothing out wrinkles.

Uses microcrystals to exfoliate the skin surface, promoting collagen regeneration and fading or eliminating glabellar lines.

Laser beams create microscopic thermal injury zones that stimulate collagen proliferation and reorganization, reducing and softening wrinkles.

Threads are implanted to provide immediate structural support while stimulating collagen production, helping maintain skin firmness.
