Getting rid of frown lines between the eyebrows

These vertical lines form in the glabella, the area between the eyebrows. Repeatedly drawing the brows together can make them visible during expression, and over time they may remain when the face is relaxed. Sun exposure, skin ageing, dehydration, and inherited skin characteristics can add to their appearance. They are a type of Wrinkles, not a sign that the facial muscles are unhealthy.

Daily sunscreen, moisturiser, and avoiding deliberate brow-scrunching can support the skin, although skincare cannot fully relax an overactive muscle. Botox is injected into selected muscles to reduce their movement and is commonly considered when lines are driven by expression. Dermal Fillers may be discussed for selected static depressions, but the glabella is a high-risk area requiring an experienced medical injector and careful assessment. Ask about facial balance, dosing, side effects, and aftercare before treatment.

Have a clinician assess lines that appear suddenly with facial weakness, severe headache, vision change, or other neurological symptoms. After an injection, seek urgent medical help for new vision changes, severe unusual pain, pale or dusky skin, marked swelling, or weakness that is rapidly worsening.

Ask whether your lines are dynamic or present at rest, which treatment matches that pattern, how the brow position may change, and what credentials and emergency plans the injector has. Confirm when to expect an effect and which symptoms require immediate contact.
