Quick answer
What are frown lines and how are they treated?
Frown lines(glabellar lines, often called 11 lines) are vertical creases between the eyebrows caused by the corrugator and procerus muscles when you concentrate, squint or frown. Over time they become etched and can make you look stressed or cross at rest.
The standard treatment is botulinum toxin to relax those muscles — see frown line Botox. Deep, static creases may also need a tiny amount of soft filler or a skin booster.

FAQ
Frown lines questions
Is Botox for frown lines safe?
Yes. Glabellar lines are one of the most studied uses of botulinum toxin. Side effects such as a temporary headache or small bruise are usually mild.
Can frown lines be treated without Botox?
Skin boosters, laser or a little soft filler can soften etched lines, but they do not stop the muscle creasing the skin again.
Which brands do you use?
Established botulinum toxin brands such as Botox (Allergan), Xeomin and Korean options. The doctor will explain the choice for you.
Will my brows drop?
Careful placement avoids this. Tell the doctor if you have heavy brows or lids so the dose can be adjusted.
Do foreigners pay more?
No. International patients pay the same price as local patients at Umi Clinic.
