Introduction

Under normal circumstances, vertical wrinkles between the eyebrows are known as glabellar lines, primarily caused by habitual facial expressions, ultraviolet radiation, genetic factors, trauma, and muscle tension. These wrinkles can be improved through cosmetic medical treatments such as hyaluronic acid injections, autologous fat grafting, type A botulinum toxin injections, fractional laser therapy, and facelift surgery. Maintaining healthy lifestyle habits and proper skincare routines after treatment is recommended.

In general, vertical wrinkles between the eyebrows are known as glabellar lines (or "frown lines"), primarily caused by habitual facial expressions, ultraviolet (UV) exposure, genetic factors, trauma, and muscle tension. These wrinkles can typically be improved through aesthetic medical treatments such as hyaluronic acid injections, autologous fat grafting, injectable botulinum toxin type A, fractional laser therapy, and facelift surgery.

Cause	Facial Expression Habits	UV Exposure	Genetic Factors	Trauma	Muscle Tension
Cause Analysis	Frequent frowning causes repeated muscle contractions	Prolonged UV exposure leads to collagen loss and skin laxity, resulting in wrinkles	Inherited individual characteristics of facial muscles and skin	Injury to the glabellar area may trigger the formation of frown lines	Excessive tension in the corrugator muscles leads to static frown lines
Improvement Methods	Hyaluronic Acid Injections	Autologous Fat Grafting	Injectable Botulinum Toxin Type A	Fractional Laser Therapy	Facelift Surgery
Procedure Overview	Fills depressions and smooths frown lines with natural-looking results	Uses patient's own fat for filling; long-lasting results once engraftment is successful	Reduces muscle contractions and softens frown lines	Laser heat stimulates collagen regeneration, tightening skin and reducing vertical lines	Removes excess skin to tighten the area and eliminate frown lines
