Frown lines, commonly known as 11 lines, are the vertical wrinkles that form between the eyebrows due to repeated facial expressions such as frowning, squinting, or concentrating. Over time, these expression lines can deepen and become visible even when the face is at rest, creating a tired, angry, or stressed appearance.
Frown Lines Botox is a highly effective, non-surgical treatment designed to soften these lines while maintaining natural facial expression. At our Vancouver, BC location, treatments are performed with precision to ensure balanced, refreshed results—never frozen or overdone.
Frown lines—also called glabellar lines, eleven lines, or scowl lines—form in the area between the eyebrows. Initially, these lines appear only with facial movement, but with time they can turn into static wrinkles, visible even when the face is relaxed.
Factors that contribute to frown lines include:
Many patients begin noticing 11 lines in their late 20s or early 30s, while deeper frown lines often develop later if left untreated.
Botox for frown lines works by relaxing the muscles responsible for pulling the eyebrows inward and downward. By reducing this muscle activity, Botox smooths the vertical wrinkles between the eyebrows and prevents them from deepening over time.
This treatment is considered the gold standard for glabellar lines because it targets the root cause of the wrinkles—not just the surface of the skin.
Botox is especially effective for:
Frown lines Botox before and after results typically show a noticeable reduction in the depth and visibility of the lines between the eyebrows. Patients often report that they look more relaxed, approachable, and refreshed, without losing natural facial movement.
Initial results usually appear within 3–5 days, with full results visible around 10–14 days after treatment. Outcomes vary depending on muscle strength, wrinkle depth, and individual anatomy, which is why a customized treatment plan is essential.

Topical skincare and alternative treatments may help improve skin texture, but they cannot relax the muscles responsible for frown lines. Botox directly targets these muscles, making it the most effective non-surgical solution for treating and preventing glabellar wrinkles.
With regular treatments, many patients notice that their frown lines become less severe over time and require fewer units to maintain results.
