Targeted smoothing for a relaxed appearance—with Botox or hyaluronic acid at Dr. Limbourg’s practice in Hanover.
Frown lines between the eyebrows and horizontal forehead lines are among the most common expression lines on the face. They are caused by frequent muscle movements—such as when concentrating, blinking, or frowning—and become more noticeable with age. At Dr. Limbourg’s practice in Hanover, we offer two proven methods for targeted wrinkle smoothing: botulinum toxin (Botox®) to relax the muscles and hyaluronic acid fillers to add volume to deeper lines.
Our face is a reflection of our personality. It smiles, it thinks, it shows compassion—but over the years, all of this leaves its mark. In particular, the frown lines between the eyebrows and horizontal forehead wrinkles are among the earliest and most noticeable signs of skin aging. They are caused by constant muscle contractions, such as when concentrating, blinking, or frowning—even in younger people.
But this is exactly where modern treatment methods come in: With precise injections of Botox® and/or hyaluronic acid, these wrinkles can now be gently smoothed out—without surgery, without long downtime, and with natural-looking results. At our practice in Hanover, we take a holistic approach that preserves your facial expressions and brings your radiance back into harmony with your inner self.

Every forehead tells a different story—we tailor our designs precisely to your face.
Whether it’s relaxing the muscles or filling in deep wrinkles—we combine both methods in a targeted manner.
We know which method works best in each situation—and we give honest advice.
Frown lines (glabellar lines) are caused by repeated contraction of the muscles between the eyebrows. Forehead lines, on the other hand, are caused by frequently raising the eyebrows. At first, they are only visible when facial expressions are strong; later, they become permanently etched—often as early as age 30.
They are caused by:
Even though these wrinkles are a reflection of our lives, many people find them bothersome because they give the face a tired, tense, or “stern” appearance.
1. Botox® (Botulinum Toxin Type A):
Ideal for “dynamic” wrinkles. Injections into the underlying muscles relax them, resulting in smoother skin. Facial expressions are preserved, but the overall appearance appears more relaxed.
2. Hyaluronic acid fillers:
For lines that are already deeply etched, additional volume is needed. In these cases, injecting hyaluronic acid into the glabellar lines smooths the skin’s texture and reduces the appearance of shadows.
3. Combination Therapy:
For pronounced frown lines or forehead wrinkles, a combination of Botox® for muscle relaxation and hyaluronic acid for filling is often recommended. We tailor this precisely to your face.
4. Forehead Lift (Surgical):
For severely sagging forehead skin or very deep wrinkles, surgical intervention may be considered. We will advise you honestly and with medical judgment.
The treatment usually takes 15–30 minutes. After an analysis of the facial muscles, the injection is administered using very fine needles—usually without anesthesia, but with numbing cream if desired.
Results last 4 to 12 months, depending on the method. Touch-ups are possible at any time—we’d be happy to create your personalized treatment plan.
