Frown lines, often referred to as the “Eleven” lines, are the vertical creases that form between the eyebrows, typically due to frequent frowning, squinting, or deep concentration. These lines can develop from repetitive facial expressions and may be exacerbated by poor eyesight or the use of incorrect corrective lenses, leading to deeper, more prominent wrinkles.
This quick procedure, taking under 10 minutes with minimal discomfort, delivers noticeable results within 2 days and full effects by 2 weeks. Typically lasting 3-4 months, repeat visits may extend results up to 6 months, helping you achieve a smoother, more youthful appearance and boost your confidence.
Persistent overuse of the glabellar muscles can lead to frown lines becoming permanently etched into the skin, giving the face an unintended appearance of tiredness, frustration, or stress—even when the person is feeling relaxed or happy. This can contribute to an aged look, detracting from a youthful, refreshed appearance.

Preparing for your Frown/Eleven Lines treatment is crucial for achieving the best possible results while minimizing any potential side effects. Follow these pre-treatment guidelines to ensure a smooth experience:
To reduce the risk of bruising, it’s best to avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, vitamin E, fish oil, ginseng, and other blood-thinning supplements for 7-10 days before your appointment. Consult with your physician if you’re on any prescribed medication that might need adjustment prior to the session.
Refrain from consuming alcohol for 24 to 48 hours before your treatment. Alcohol can increase the likelihood of bruising and swelling at the injection sites.
Avoid harsh exfoliants, retinoids, glycolic acid, or alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) in the treatment area for 3-4 days prior to your session. These products can make the skin more sensitive and may increase the risk of irritation.
Discontinue the use of supplements like vitamin E, fish oil, and ginkgo biloba for about a week before treatment, as they can also contribute to increased bleeding and bruising.
Hydrating well before your appointment helps keep your skin in top condition. Eating a light meal before your session can also help reduce the chances of feeling lightheaded or faint during the treatment.
Let your clinician know about any medical conditions, medications, or past cosmetic treatments during your consultation. If you have a history of cold sores, an antiviral medication may be recommended as a precaution.
After your Frown Lines treatment session, following these aftercare instructions can help you achieve the best possible results and reduce any potential side effects:
Refrain from rubbing or massaging the treated area for at least 24 hours to prevent displacement of the product.
Keep your head elevated and avoid lying down for about 4 hours after treatment. This helps the product settle properly.
Limit vigorous exercise and heavy activity for 24 hours. Keeping things low-key helps reduce the risk of bruising and swelling.
If you experience mild swelling or bruising, apply a cold compress to the treated area. This can help minimize swelling and reduce any discomfort. Be sure not to press down hard when applying the compress.
Do not apply makeup to the treated area for 24 hours. Allowing the skin to heal without irritation is important for recovery.
Drink plenty of water in the days following your treatment. Staying hydrated supports your skin’s healing process and overall well-being.
You will begin to see the initial effects of your treatment in 2-7 days, with the full results becoming visible at around 14 days. The gradual onset allows for a more natural-looking transformation as the muscles relax over time.
To maintain your smooth, refreshed look, schedule maintenance sessions every 3-4 months. Consistency helps in keeping wrinkles at bay and ensures your skin retains its youthful appearance.
