Frown lines, often called “11s”, are the two vertical lines that form between your eyebrows. They usually show up when you squint, frown, or concentrate, and over time, they can stay put even when your face is resting.
They’re one of the most common areas I treat with Botox, especially for people who feel they “look angry” even when they’re not.
Why Do Frown Lines Appear?
These lines are caused by repeated movement of the glabellar muscles — the ones responsible for pulling your eyebrows together. As the skin loses elasticity with age, those little creases become deeper and more defined.
Stress, screen time, and even wearing glasses can make these lines more noticeable.
How Does Botox Help?
Botox gently relaxes the muscles that cause frown lines, softening their appearance and preventing them from getting worse. It doesn’t freeze your face — it just smooths out the area so you look more relaxed and refreshed.
In most cases, results last 3–4 months, and you’ll notice the full effect within 7–14 days after treatment.
Is Botox Right for Frown Lines?
If you’ve started noticing those deep “11s” in the mirror, Botox could be a great option. It’s quick, effective, and one of the most popular treatments I offer.
Many clients find that softening their frown lines helps them look less tired or tense and feel more confident.
