1. Notice deep lines between your eyebrows?

Glabellar lines, also known as frown lines or "11s", are vertical wrinkles that form between the brows. They can create a tense or aged appearance even when your face is relaxed.

2. What causes glabellar lines to appear?

These lines are typically caused by repetitive facial expressions, such as frowning or squinting, combined with the natural aging process and loss of skin elasticity.

3. What treatments are available?

Botulinum toxin injections like Botox or Xeomin are commonly used to relax the muscles and soften glabellar lines. In some cases, dermal fillers may be used to restore volume.

4. How long does the treatment take?

Injections usually take just 10–15 minutes and involve minimal discomfort. Numbing cream may be applied beforehand for extra comfort.

5. What’s the expected result?

Patients typically see smoother skin and a more relaxed appearance within 3–7 days. The area between the brows becomes softer and less prominent.

6. How long do results last?

Botox results last 3 to 5 months on average. With consistent treatments, the muscles can weaken over time, potentially extending the effect.

7. Is there any recovery time?

There’s very little downtime. You may see some minor swelling or redness that resolves within a few hours. It’s recommended to avoid heavy exercise or rubbing the area right after treatment.

8. What’s the cost in Seoul?

Treating glabellar lines with Botox usually costs between ₩80,000 to ₩200,000 (approximately $60 to $150 USD), depending on the brand and number of units used.

9. Why treat glabellar lines in Korea?

Seoul’s clinics offer highly refined techniques and conservative dosing to ensure a natural result. Korean dermatologists are skilled at softening lines without freezing your expression.
