Can Beauty Acupuncture Improve Frown Lines? Causes and Our Treatments

Facial changes that become more concerning with age. Among these, frown lines between the brows tend to be especially noticeable and can be a cause that makes your expression look severe. This article details the causes of frown lines, improvement methods, and KADOMORI’s recommended treatments.

What Causes Frown Lines?

Are you troubled by clearly etched lines between your brows? Frown lines can be influenced not just by age but by expression habits and skin condition too. First, let’s explain the main causes of frown lines in detail.

The Influence of Using the Expression Muscles

Do you unconsciously furrow your brow? In situations like operating your smartphone or computer, concentrating on something, or feeling glare, you tend to tense the area between your brows. As this kind of expression habit accumulates, the muscles tense, and force is repeatedly placed on the same spot. As a result, the skin between your brows becomes folded, and the line gradually deepens. While young, muscles usually return to normal once relaxed, but as skin firmness and elasticity decline with age, it becomes harder to bounce back.

Reduced Skin Elasticity

When skin has firmness, marks are less likely to remain even when expressions change, and lines are less likely to be etched. This firmness is supported by components like collagen and elastin. However, these gradually decrease due to aging and damage from UV rays. As a result, skin elasticity is lost, and the resistant force weakens.

For example, even if you have a habit of tensing hard between your brows, it used to bounce back quickly when young, but with age, it becomes harder to return, and can remain as a line. Being mindful of sun protection and thoroughly giving your skin nutrients and moisture can slow the decline in elasticity and bring you closer to skin less prone to wrinkles.

Skin Dryness

The area between the brows is part of the T-zone and tends to be thought of as a place prone to sebum, but it actually has low water retention and is a part prone to dryness. Skin can maintain a soft, smooth state when the balance of water and oil is regulated. However, when it dries, the surface becomes rough and hard, making wrinkles more likely to form with expression movement.

In winter or air-conditioned/heated rooms, dryness tends to progress, and frown lines can become more noticeable. In skincare, use not just lotion but moisturizing cream and serum too, to thoroughly seal in moisture.

How Can You Improve Frown Lines?

Frown lines can be eased through self-care. Beyond moisturizing your skin, be mindful of how you use your eyes and your expression habits. Here we introduce improvement methods.

Be Mindful When Using Your Smartphone or Computer

When using your smartphone or computer, are you tensing between your brows? Concentrating and staring at the screen can bring out habits like squinting or furrowing your brows. Continuing these expressions for long periods keeps muscles tense, making frown lines more prone to becoming fixed.

To prevent this, using blue-light-blocking glasses, or gently closing your eyes to rest once an hour, is important. Also, since reduced vision increases the tendency to strain your eyes even more, periodically checking whether your glasses or contact lens prescription is correct is also recommended.

Heal Eye Fatigue

Leaving eye fatigue unaddressed reduces your blink rate, making you unconsciously squint. If this continues, the time spent tensing between your brows lengthens, also becoming a cause of wrinkles. To heal eye fatigue, preventing dryness is important. Protect your eye surface by using a humidifier to maintain room humidity, or replenishing moisture with eye drops. Also, applying a hot towel to your eyes improves circulation, easing muscular stiffness. As your eyes ease, facial tension naturally releases too, so please try it.

Take Dryness and Sun Protection Measures

To prevent and improve frown lines, protecting your skin from dryness and UV rays is also important. Replenish moisture frequently with lotion and serum, then thoroughly seal it in with cream on top, so moisture doesn’t escape. When going outside, apply sunscreen, of course, but also physically avoiding UV rays with a parasol or hat is important. UV rays aren’t limited to midsummer — they strengthen from early spring and reach the skin even on cloudy days.

Take thorough measures every day regardless of season. Also, to regulate skin turnover, be mindful of sleep and a balanced diet. To nurture skin where frown lines are less noticeable, care from both inside and outside is important.

Can Beauty Acupuncture Deliver Improvement Effects?

Recently, more people are incorporating beauty acupuncture into frown-line care.
Beauty acupuncture loosens tension in stiffened muscles between the brows, making lines less noticeable. Also, stimulating facial acupoints supports collagen production, and effects for increasing skin firmness and elasticity are also expected.

Since beauty acupuncture is a treatment that balances not just the face but the whole body, it can also address skin trouble caused by autonomic or hormonal disruption. Please try incorporating it as maintenance for both body and mind.

For Frown Lines, KADOMORI’s Hedgehog Beauty Acupuncture Is Recommended!

For those who want to improve frown lines through beauty acupuncture, our salon’s “Hedgehog Beauty Acupuncture” is recommended. Here we introduce the treatment content and recommended treatments to receive alongside it.

What Kind of Treatment Is Hedgehog Beauty Acupuncture?

KADOMORI’s Hedgehog Beauty Acupuncture is a treatment that places many needles finely across the face, like a hedgehog. There’s almost no pain, and its characteristic is that many people rather feel a pleasant, relaxing sensation. This treatment’s appeal is that rather than just inserting needles, it can precisely approach the position most likely to deliver effects, after assessing facial muscle movement, firmness, and fat thickness. By balancing the expression muscles and loosening muscular tension, even lines etched between the brows become gently less noticeable.

This Treatment Is Also Recommended!

While Hedgehog Beauty Acupuncture is recommended for frown-line care, combining other KADOMORI-style treatments is also recommended to further enhance the synergy. All these treatments take an approach that regulates from within, not just pursuing superficial beauty.

KADOMORI-Style Facial Slimming

KADOMORI-Style Facial Slimming’s purpose isn’t simply making the face look smaller. What we value is the balance and harmony of the whole face. Focusing on facial bone structure and muscle movement, we perform treatment while carefully observing left-right differences, feature sizes, and the flow of the contour. Combining original theory with a special current called the “Synchro Wave,” we gently approach skeletal distortion and misalignment. As a result, the whole face is refined cleanly, and many people experience a significant change in impression. Since it doesn’t apply forceful pressure and has minimal pain, even first-timers can receive it with peace of mind. It also makes it easier to balance the expression muscles related to frown lines, making it a perfect treatment for those who want to achieve more natural expressive beauty.

Face-Sculpting Facial ＜Radio-Frequency＞

Radio-Frequency Facial is a treatment that delivers heat deep into the skin using high-frequency radio-frequency, gently loosening stiffened expression muscles and smoothing blood and lymph flow. During treatment, your skin gradually warms, and you should feel a comfort like being in a bath. The thermal effect of about 42°C also promotes collagen production, and you’ll gain a sensation of firmness and elasticity returning to your skin. It’s recommended for those with stiff muscles around their brows, helping ease the tension that also causes wrinkles.

Carboxy Pack

Carboxy Pack is a beauty care that uses the power of carbon dioxide gas to boost skin circulation. Using dedicated gel and mask together, carbon dioxide gas is generated on the skin, stimulating skin cells while delivering oxygen. This carbonic stimulation promotes circulation, and its appeal is making skin turnover easier to regulate. It’s a perfect pack for those wanting a plump feel and translucence, as if the skin has become energized from within.
