Forehead Lines (Glabella)

Forehead Lines 11s

Deep forehead lines can make you appear older or constantly worried, even when you’re feeling your best. Over time, these lines can become more pronounced, making it difficult to achieve a naturally refreshed look.
Treatments to help soften those deep 11s

Recommended Treatments

Neuromodulators like Botox Cosmetic®, Nuceiva or Dysport® can relax the muscles in the forehead that causes the horizontal wrinkles. The neuro modulars typically last 3 to 6 months.

Frequently Asked Questions

What causes forehead lines and 11s (frown lines)?

Forehead lines and 11s (the vertical lines between the eyebrows) are caused by repetitive muscle movement, such as raising your eyebrows or frowning. Over time, the skin loses collagen and elasticity, making these lines more pronounced—even at rest.

How do Botox Cosmetic®, Nuceiva, and Dysport® help reduce forehead lines and 11s?

These neuromodulators work by temporarily relaxing the muscles responsible for frowning and raising the eyebrows. This prevents deep creases from forming while softening existing lines for a smoother, more youthful appearance.

How long does the treatment take?

The procedure is quick and minimally invasive, typically taking 10 to 15 minutes with no downtime.

How soon will I see results?

  • Initial results appear within 3 to 5 days.
  • Full results are visible after 10 to 14 days.

How long do the results last?

The effects generally last 3 to 4 months, depending on factors like metabolism, lifestyle, and muscle strength. Regular treatments help maintain longer-lasting results.

Will my forehead look frozen after treatment?

Not at all! An experienced injector will customize the treatment to ensure you still have natural movement while reducing excessive wrinkling. The goal is a smooth, refreshed look—not a stiff or frozen appearance.

Are there any side effects?

Side effects are typically mild and temporary, including:

  • Slight redness or swelling at the injection site (subsides within a few hours)
  • Minor bruising (if it occurs, it fades within a few days)
  • A mild headache in rare cases, which resolves quickly

Can Botox, Nuceiva, or Dysport be combined with other treatments?

Yes! Many patients combine neuromodulators with:

  • Dermal fillers to add volume to areas like the cheeks and lips
  • Skin-tightening treatments for enhanced anti-aging effects
  • Medical-grade skincare or facials to improve skin texture and glow

What should I avoid after treatment?

For 24 hours, avoid:

  • Rubbing or massaging the treated area
  • Strenuous exercise
  • Lying flat for at least 4 hours
  • Excessive heat exposure (hot showers, saunas)
