Frown Line (Glabellar) Softening in Gangnam, Seoul
A precisely placed injection relaxes the muscles between your eyebrows that create the "11 lines" when concentrating or frowning — softening a tired or stern look without changing your expression.
Relaxing the "11 Lines" Between Your Brows
The vertical lines that form between the eyebrows — often called "11 lines" or glabellar lines — come from a small group of muscles that contract every time you frown, concentrate, or squint. Over years of repeated use, these lines can become etched in and visible even when your face is completely at rest.
This treatment targets that specific muscle group with a small, precisely mapped set of injections. Because the glabellar area involves several individual muscles working together, careful placement is what keeps the brows looking naturally positioned rather than overly raised or heavy.
Frown lines are one of the most commonly treated Botox areas and are often combined with Forehead Line Smoothing for a fully refreshed upper face.

Your Session & Recovery Timeline
Your doctor evaluates your glabellar muscle pattern and brow position to plan precise injection points and dosing.
A small set of injections are placed carefully across the glabellar muscle group using a fine needle.
You can return to normal activities right away. Avoid lying down, rubbing the area, or heavy exercise for a few hours as a precaution.
The muscle-relaxing effect gradually sets in, with the full smoothing result typically visible by day 7–14.
As the effect gradually wears off, a follow-up session maintains your results — many patients settle into a regular schedule.

Frown Line Softening — FAQ
Will this make my eyebrows look permanently raised?
No — when dosed and placed correctly, the treatment relaxes only the muscles that pull the brows down and together, without raising the resting brow position unnaturally.
How soon will I see results?
The effect starts to appear around day 3, with the full result typically visible by day 7–14 as the muscle gradually relaxes.
How long do results last?
Most patients see results last 3–4 months before the effect gradually wears off and a follow-up session is needed to maintain them.
Can I combine this with other Botox areas?
Yes — frown lines are frequently treated together with forehead lines and crow's feet as a coordinated 3-area upper-face plan for a more balanced, natural result.
Is the injection painful?
Most patients describe it as a brief pinch. The needle used is very fine, and the whole injection process takes only a few minutes.
