Botox – Frown Lines (Glabella Muscle)

How Do Frown Lines Develop?
Frown lines develop when facial muscles contract repeatedly. The muscles usually involved in these movements are the corrugator and procerus muscles, which occur when you frown, squint, or concentrate. These lead to the formation of vertical creases between the eyebrows. They are often called “elevens” because they resemble the number 11 when two perpendicular lines are close together.

Can Glabella Botox Treat Deep Frown Lines?
Glabella Botox is an effective treatment for both mild and deep creases. It temporarily blocks the nerve signals that cause muscle contractions. Mild lines require fewer units of Botox and show improvement more quickly. On the other hand, deeper lines need more units and possibly additional treatments to achieve optimal results. The goal is to relax the muscles enough to smooth out the lines without affecting natural facial expressions.


How Many Glabella Botox Injections Are Needed?
The number of Botox injections necessary to treat frown lines can differ based on a person’s anatomy. This also includes how severe the muscle movement is. Generally, multiple injections are given to the muscles that contribute to frown line formation. These injections focus on specific muscles and produce a natural-looking result. As for the cost of Glabella Botox, it varies according to the number of injections needed.
Do I Need Maintenance Treatments?
The results of Glabella Botox are not permanent, usually lasting for about 4 to 5 months. Many people must undergo regular follow-up treatments to maintain their desired appearance. The timing for these maintenance sessions differs, but they are generally arranged as the effects of the last treatment start to fade. Our expert injectors can suggest a suitable schedule tailored to your needs and preferences.


Am I a Suitable Candidate?
There are no strict age limitations in Canada on Botox treatments for frown wrinkles. Notable frown lines and a few other criteria are the main factors influencing the decision to get Botox. Our highly skilled and knowledgeable injectors will evaluate your skin during the consultation to determine your suitability.
Can the Treatment Prevent Frown Lines from Forming?
Some individuals use Botox to delay the formation of frown lines. By stopping the repetitive muscle movements that cause lines, Botox can help preserve smoother skin.
