There are non-invasive methods of treating furrows and frown lines, but they are probably not as effective or long term as surgery or Botox. These other methods can minimize the appearance of the lines, and make them less noticeable, but probably won't eliminate them entirely. A dermatologist or cosmetic surgeon can use laser or a process called "thermage", which uses heat, but is not painful. It treats the layers beneath the skin surface, helping to produce more collagen. However, these methods are not cheap. If you want to try something less expensive, you can go to an aesthetician and get a chemical peel or microdermabrasion. Last, but not least, try one of the many anti-aging creams and lotions on the market. Some are very expensive, such as Strivectin or Idebenol, which sell for $135 and $109, respectively. However, there are less costly ones for approximately $25.00, such as L'Oreal and Olay products, which are also very good. They do not perform miracles, but will soften fine lines and help prevent new ones from forming.
The furrows are caused by facial expressions, sun, and natural aging. Be sure to use sunscreen also, with an SPF of at least 20. Wear good-quality sunglasses so you don't do a lot of squinting, and shield your forehead from the sun by wearing a wide-brimmed hat if you're going to be out for any length of time. Whatever you choose, try to emphasize your good facial features, at the same time. Chances are, you are more aware of the flaws than anyone else. Good luck!

There really isn't a sure fire way to get rid of stretch marks. Lotions don't even help during pregnancy. Stretch marks are generally genetic and only lighten with time.
