What Is Glabella?
Glabella are fine lines that appear between the eyes and right above the nose. They become more apparent when someone frowns, smiles or squints.
What Causes Glabella?
As we age, our collagen and elastin production decrease over time. Collagen and elastin are the natural building blocks that make up the structure of your skin. But as we get older, we lose more and more of these structures, which leads to the development of glabella. Of course, the sort of life a person lives can either slow or hasten the appearance of glabella:
- Sun exposure without proper protection
- Poor diet and nutrition
- Lack of exercise and active lifestyle
- Excessive alcohol consumption and smoking
Hyaluronic acid is another natural substance that is in the body and helps act as a building block for healthy, smooth skin. Like collagen and elastin, this substance starts to diminish gradually over the years, creating hollow spaces in the skin that shape into fine lines and wrinkles.
How Is Glabella Treated?
Many treatment options for this condition go about restoring the missing building blocks of firm and smooth skin. This is done either through a filler that injects the missing building blocks.
