The Art of a Calm Expression

Botox for Glabellar Lines 11s

Soften the frown lines between your brows with Botox designed to relax the expression that can make you look tense, tired, or upset even when you feel completely fine.

What it is

A precise treatment for the frown lines between the brows.

Botox, also known as onabotulinumtoxinA, temporarily relaxes the corrugator and procerus muscles that create vertical glabellar lines, often called the 11s.

These muscles pull the brows inward and downward when you concentrate, squint, or frown. Botox reduces the nerve signals that trigger strong contraction, helping smooth existing lines and slow the deepening of creases over time.

Designed for balance

The 11s area is closely connected to forehead and brow position, so careful placement matters for a smoother result that still feels natural.

Subtle Opening

Relaxing brow-depressor muscles may create a softer, more open look for some clients, and may calm tension for people who frequently clench or furrow the brow.

Results

Less frown tension, more ease in the face.

Softening usually begins around 3-5 days, with full effect around 10-14 days. Results commonly last 3-4 months, though longevity depends on dose, muscle strength, metabolism, technique, and individual response.
