One of the most common concerns we hear as clinicians in aesthetic medicine is “I hate my forehead lines.”
The forehead was one of the first facial areas to receive FDA clearance for Botox which has invariably contributed to its popularity and social normalization as a prioritized treatment area.
But in practice, treating forehead lines with Botox often comes at the expense of making the eyebrows look or feel heavy.
At Bare Skin Marin, Step 1 of Skin to Structure™ is The Release™ — our wrinkle relaxer service that prioritizes the lifting effect over chasing discrete lines.
Rather than treating the face as a collection of isolated wrinkles, we assess and address muscle tension and how downward pull shapes the face as a whole.
In many patients, facial muscles that pull the face downward get stronger with age, and thereby present the greatest opportunity for improvement.
The Release™ allows facial “lifting” muscles to work better, resulting in:
-Softened facial tension
-Restored mouth position from frown to neutral or soft smile
-Reduced jowls
-Improved under-eye hollows
-Feminized lower face
-Brightened eyes and lifted brows
