Quick answer
What is frown line Botox?
Frown line Botox treats the glabellar lines — the vertical “11” lines between the eyebrows. Small doses of botulinum toxin relax the corrugator and procerus muscles that pull the brows together, so the skin creases less and you look more relaxed.
It is one of the most studied uses of botulinum toxin and is usually treated with just a few injection points. If the lines remain etched at rest, the doctor may add a skin booster or discuss wrinkle fillers.

Your visit
How Frown Line Botox works at Umi
Every visit is doctor-led and explained in English, from the first skin check to aftercare.
- Frown assessment
You frown for the doctor, who checks muscle strength and the pattern of the lines.
- Point selection
Usually 3–5 points across the procerus and corrugators, adjusted for stronger muscles.

A fine needle places small doses precisely; most people feel only quick pinches.
- Aftercare
Do not rub the area or lie flat for about 4 hours; avoid saunas and heavy exercise that day.

With the brow-pulling muscles relaxed, the skin between the brows stops folding so often and the 11 lines soften.
Frowning becomes harder to do.
Lines between the brows look clearly softer.

FAQ
Frown Line Botox questions
Does frown line Botox hurt?
It is quick and usually well tolerated. Most people describe a few brief pinches; ice can be used if you are sensitive.
Can it cause a droopy eyelid?
Rarely. Careful placement above the brow bone and staying upright for a few hours lower this risk. If it happens, it is temporary.
Should I also treat my forehead?
Often it is balanced to treat both, but some people only need the frown area. The doctor will advise based on your expressions.
How long before an event should I do it?
Ideally two weeks before, so the full effect and any touch-up are complete.
Do foreigners pay more?
No. International patients pay the same price as local patients at Umi Clinic.
