When you see the phrase “wrinkles between the eyebrows”, you involuntarily begin to frown. Yes, the topic is sad, but it’s worth talking about it, at least in order to figure out how to deal with this scourge. After reading the article to the end, you will know exactly how to remove eyebrow wrinkles. We promise!
Causes of wrinkles between the eyebrows
It is almost impossible to control her movement and force yourself to stop frowning. Especially if you are an emotional and artistic person by nature, have rich facial expressions and have not acquired the skill to hide your emotions behind an impenetrable “poker face”.
Constant contractions of this small (but very stubborn) muscle lead to its hypertonicity, that is, static tension and shortening. She cannot return to her normal state, even when her face is relaxed and does not express any emotions. And all this against the background of a natural age-related decrease in skin density.
And here, please, there is a “proud wrinkle” – a deep vertical fold (or two) between the eyebrows.
Eyebrow wrinkles are the result of emotional facial expressions.
Additional factors that encourage the formation of brow wrinkles include:
stress and lack of sleep (read about the effect of stress on the skin here);
bad habits, in particular smoking (details here);
ultraviolet (or rather, type A rays);
the use of sugar, which provokes the process of glycation (gluing of collagen fibers);
poor eyesight – constant squinting strains not only the circular muscle of the eye, but also the muscles of the forehead.
And what do we get as a result? That’s right, wrinkles between the eyebrows.
Answer the questions of our test to find out in what mood you will meet the first wrinkles.
How to remove brow wrinkles at home
Wrinkles between the eyebrows are easier to prevent than to get rid of them, especially if they are deep. However, it is worth including some techniques aimed at relaxing this zone in your home practice. And if you add special cosmetics, then you can count on a good result. Below we tell you how to remove eyebrow wrinkles at home.
Facial exercises for frown lines
The methods below can be practiced daily.
Tweezers
Let’s start with a simple exercise from the Vichy experts.
Make pinching movements with your thumb and forefinger, starting from the bridge of your nose and ending with the center of your forehead. Repeat 6 times.
Slowly, but with pressure, smooth the forehead with your fingers from the middle towards the temples. Repeat 3 times.
Train
This exercise is very pleasant and well relaxes the problem area.
Place the index and middle fingers of both hands between the eyebrows.
Fingering, move to the edges of the eyebrows.
First, “tread on” with your fingers in place and feel how the space between the eyebrows gets rid of tension.
Try to focus on the feeling of contact between your fingertips and your skin. Repeat 3 times (or more).
Pulsation
This exercise, which is suitable for removing wrinkles between the eyebrows, was invented by the author of the faceforming technique and the book of the same name, Benita Cantieni. The bottom line is to stimulate certain points with very light pulsating movements. Here it is very important to focus on the sensations, not to rush anywhere. If everything is done correctly, then you will feel how the points under your fingertips begin to pulsate, and the area between the eyebrows relaxes, freeing itself from tension.
Place the index and ring fingers of the left hand at the base of the eyebrows (index on the left, ring finger on the right).
The middle finger naturally lies in the middle.
The middle finger of the right hand lies in the middle of the forehead, closer to the hairline.
Close your eyes, breathe freely.
Begin to make very light pulsating movements, slightly moving the skin up and slightly to the sides.
Repeat until the muscles respond and begin to throb under your fingers.
For the first time, it may take several minutes to “build up”, but once you catch this feeling, you will not forget it. And then you can easily perform exercises to remove wrinkles between the eyebrows.
The best way to fight wrinkles is to relax.
Massage for wrinkles between the eyebrows
Massage from wrinkles between the eyebrows is aimed at stimulating blood flow in this area. Surprisingly, the blood flow also helps her relax. At least, immediately after such a massage, you will not want to move your eyebrows.
Rastiranie
Place your index and middle fingers so that the wrinkle is between them.
Spread your fingers slightly to stretch and hold the area of skin.
With the index finger of the other hand, actively rub the skin, as if making fire.
Continue until the skin is hot – this should take no more than a minute.
If desired, you can do the same with wrinkles on the forehead.
Competent skin care

How to quickly remove interbrow wrinkles from a beautician
The surest way to quickly get rid of the interbrow wrinkles is beauty injections. Hardware techniques, lasers and peelings are ineffective in this case.
Botulinum therapy
Point injections of botulinum toxin (Botox) block the movement of the muscle and relax it, as a result, the frown line disappears. If a deep wrinkle has formed between the eyebrows, botulinum therapy is combined with fillers.
Contour plastic
The brow wrinkle on the forehead is corrected by injecting hyaluronic acid of a certain density, which instantly fills the gap and straightens the skin.

injections of muscle relaxants that block mimic activity;
massage to relax the muscles of the forehead, eyebrows and eyes: professional or homemade;
vision correction or glasses, if indicated;
wearing dark glasses so as not to squint or frown in the light;
