Don’t Frown Over Smile Lines: Let Us Help You Banish Them

Dr. Hughan Frederick and Jessi Sellers at Glow Anti-Aging Center and Medical Spa in Roswell, Georgia, specialize in helping clients feel confident in their skin. 

Whether you see frown lines, hollow cheeks, crow’s feet, or lip lines — all signs of aging — our minimally invasive treatments, such as Juvéderm® and Restylane®, can help restore your younger self. 

If you’re curious about how these injectables work and why they’re so effective, keep reading as we explain the ins and outs of injectables. 

What causes frown lines? 

Frown lines, also called glabellar lines, are those vertical wrinkles that form between your eyebrows. They develop after years of repeated facial expressions, like frowning and squinting. However, those facial expressions don’t work alone — they team up with the natural aging process to wreak havoc. 

With age, your skin produces less collagen and elastin — two key proteins that keep your skin firm and smooth. Without these proteins, your skin hangs onto the creases, lines, and wrinkles.

Other factors also contribute to your skin’s decline, including sun exposure, stress, and lifestyle habits, such as smoking, which can accelerate the breakdown of natural collagen. 

Why choose dermal fillers like Juvéderm and Restylane? 

Injectable fillers like Juvéderm and Restylane reduce frown lines and other wrinkles by restoring volume and hydration beneath your skin. These treatments use hyaluronic acid — a substance your body knows well because it produces it on its own — to smooth wrinkles and add plumpness. 

These minimally invasive treatments are a hit with our clients because they offer noticeable, immediate results with little to no downtime. Whether you’re looking to address frown lines, fine lines, or loss of facial volume, injectables restore all the best qualities of a youthful face — plumpness, smooth contours, and taut skin — without surgery. 

Key benefits of Juvéderm and Restylane are:

• Quick treatments: sessions typically take less than 30 minutes
• Immediate results: see visible improvements right after your appointment
• Long-lasting effects: results can last 6-18 months, depending on the area treated
• Safe and effective: FDA-approved and performed by our experts 

Both Juvéderm and Restylane use hyaluronic acid-based gels to rejuvenate the skin. When injected, the gel fills in the hollowed areas caused by lost volume. 

Restylane is ultra-versatile and works well for moderate-to-severe wrinkles, folds around your nose and mouth, and reshaping your lips. 

Juvéderm offers several product lines, including Juvéderm® Voluma®, for restoring cheek volume or improving your chin profile, so it’s great for addressing deeper volume loss in areas like the lower and mid-face. 

What to expect during your treatment 

If you’re new to injectables, it’s a good idea to familiarize yourself with the process. We encourage you to ask us whatever questions you have. In the meantime, here’s a summary of what you can expect:

Consultation 

The first step is a personalized consultation with our Glow Anti-Aging Center and Medical Spa team. Dr. Frederick or Jessi Sellers evaluate your skin and discuss your goals to determine which injectable is best suited for your needs. 

Preparation 

We thoroughly cleanse your treatment areas and apply a topical numbing cream to keep you comfortable. 

Injection 

We inject the dermal filler directly into the targeted areas with a fine needle. The procedure is quick and pretty much painless for most people. 

Aftercare 

After your treatment, you may experience some mild puffiness or redness, but these effects typically subside within 24 to 48 hours. There’s no downtime, which means you can return to your daily activities immediately. 

Whether you’re interested in Juvéderm, Restylane, or another aesthetic service like Botox® or Dysport®, the path to smooth, radiant skin starts with just one consultation.
