Botox – Frown Lines (Glabella Muscle)
How do frown lines develop?
Frown lines develop due to the repetitive contraction of facial muscles, particularly the corrugator and procerus muscles, which occur when you frown, squint, or concentrate. These muscle contractions lead to the formation of vertical creases between the eyebrows. They are often referred to as “elevens” because of their resemblance to the number 11 when two vertical lines are close together.

Can Glabella Botox treat deep frown lines?
Botox for Frown lines is an effective treatment for both mild and deep creases. It works by temporarily blocking the nerve signals that cause muscle contractions. While mild lines may require fewer units of Botox and show improvement more quickly, deep lines may 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 needed for frown lines varies depending on the individual’s anatomy and the extent of muscle activity causing the lines. Typically, a few injections are administered along the muscles responsible for creating frown lines. The injections are strategically placed to target these muscles and achieve a balanced, natural-looking result. And, of course, your Botox for Frown lines cost will differ depending on the quantity of injections required.
Do I need maintenance treatments?
Botox’s effects on frown lines are temporary, lasting approximately 4-5 months. To maintain the desired results, individuals often require periodic follow-up treatments. The frequency of these maintenance treatments varies, but they are typically scheduled as the effects of the previous treatment begin to wear off. Our master injectors can recommend an appropriate schedule based on your specific needs and preferences.
Am I a Suitable Candidate?
There are no strict age restrictions for Botox treatments for frown lines in Canada. The decision to undergo Botox treatment is based more on the presence of noticeable frown lines and an individual’s suitability for the procedure. Our highly experienced and qualified injectors will assess your candidacy during a consultation to determine if Botox is an appropriate option for you.
Can the treatment prevent frown lines from forming?
Some individuals use Botox preventatively to delay the formation of frown lines. By inhibiting the repetitive muscle movements that lead to the creation of lines, Botox can help preserve smoother skin. However, this is a personal choice, and it’s important to discuss your goals and expectations with our injectors during a consultation to determine if preventative Botox is suitable for you.
