Lion’s Wrinkle
Lion’s wrinkles are located between the eyebrows. These very noticeable vertical lines form when you frown. As you age, these wrinkles are often difficult to accept because they become more and more visible and deep.
The furrows, which give a sometimes worried, sometimes severe look, are a source of complexes for many people. Victoria Park Medispa offers effective solutions to reduce the lion’s wrinkle and rejuvenate the appearance of the face in less than 30 minutes.
What causes
lion's wrinkles?
Wrinkles and fine lines form with age. They appear as the gradual disappearance of elastin and collagen, two proteins that give the skin its strength and elasticity. Elastin and collagen decrease because, as you age, the body produces less estrogen, the hormone responsible for the natural production of elastin and collagen.
Over time, the skin no longer regenerates as well, thins, sags, and dries out: fine lines appear. The lion’s wrinkle is part of the so-called “expression” wrinkles. These wrinkles are the natural consequence of facial muscle movements and contractions.
Although the lion’s wrinkle is an age-related expression wrinkle, genetics, menopause, and certain other factors may be involved. Among these, exposure to UV rays, smoking, alcohol, lack of sleep, and an inadequate diet increase the risk of seeing facial skin develop wrinkles and fine lines prematurely.
Fortunately, as soon as it appears, it is possible to fill the lion’s wrinkle with one of the treatments available at Victoria Park Medispa.

Lion's Wrinkle:
Available Treatments
To make the lion’s wrinkle disappear, there are proven non-invasive treatments. Botox and the filler Dysport are treatments approved by Health Canada. They are made from substances derived from botulinum toxin, which is particularly effective for treating expression wrinkles.
These neuromodulators reduce the action of the muscles in the forehead and promote muscle relaxation that reduces the appearance of wrinkles. A session of injections for the lion’s wrinkle lasts about 10 minutes; the results are visible 24 to 48 hours after the treatment, are complete after 14 days, and last up to 4 months. The price of an injection to treat the lion’s wrinkle depends on the number of units used.
Injecting a filler, such as Botox for the lion’s wrinkle, costs a fraction of the price of a traditional facelift. This proven method for filling wrinkles can last several months up to two years. Finally, laser therapy is an alternative to injections and fillers.
This treatment stimulates collagen production and thus smooths wrinkles while giving the skin a more youthful appearance. At Victoria Park Medispa, the chosen treatment is always personalized according to the patient’s needs and the severity of their condition.

Lion's Wrinkles: Tips and
Treatment Process
Before starting any treatment to erase the lion’s wrinkle, a consultation with the clinic’s healthcare professional is essential. During this meeting, they take the time to inquire about the patient’s medical history. Together, they discuss appropriate treatment options. The patient is encouraged to express their expectations, needs, and any concerns they may have.
Although treatments are administered in a sterile medical environment, they are not surgical interventions per se. Thus, it is generally possible to resume normal activities immediately after the treatment sessions. Mild side effects, such as discomfort, redness, swelling, or bruising, are temporary. In case of doubt, it is recommended to contact the medical team at Victoria Park Medispa.

The lion’s wrinkle is caused by repetitive facial muscle movements, associated with the decrease in collagen and elastin due to aging. Factors such as UV exposure, smoking, and stress can worsen its appearance.
