Understanding Glabellar Frown Lines
Glabellar lines, often called frown lines or “11” lines, are the vertical wrinkles that appear between the eyebrows. These lines can develop due to repeated muscle contractions from frowning, squinting, or concentrating. While a natural part of aging, these lines can sometimes give an appearance of being stressed, angry, or older than one feels. Genetics, sun exposure, and lifestyle factors can also contribute to their formation.
Key Point 1Glabellar lines, or frown lines, are vertical wrinkles between the eyebrows caused by muscle contractions.
Key Point 2Botox injections relax the muscles that cause these lines, smoothing the area.
Key Point 3The procedure is quick, relatively painless, and requires no downtime.
Key Point 4Results typically last 3-4 months, and regular treatments can prevent lines from deepening.
How Glabella Botox Works
Glabella Botox involves injecting small doses of botulinum toxin (specifically, Botox, a brand name for botulinum toxin type A) into the corrugator and procerus muscles. These are the muscles primarily responsible for pulling the eyebrows together and creating the vertical lines. The botulinum toxin works by blocking the nerve signals that tell these muscles to contract. As a result, the muscles relax, and the skin above them smooths out. The effect is temporary, as the nerve signals eventually regenerate, requiring repeat treatments to maintain the results.
What to Expect During the Procedure at Santé Clinics Barcelona
At Santé Clinics Barcelona, your Glabella Botox treatment begins with a consultation with one of our experienced medical professionals. During this consultation, we will assess your facial anatomy, discuss your aesthetic goals, and determine the appropriate dosage and injection points for Botox. The procedure itself is quick, typically taking only 10-15 minutes. A fine needle is used to inject the Botox into the targeted muscles. Most patients report feeling minimal discomfort, often described as a slight pinch. No anesthesia is required, although a topical numbing cream can be applied if desired.
Recovery and Results
One of the main advantages of Glabella Botox is the minimal downtime required. Most patients can return to their normal activities immediately after the procedure. Some mild redness or swelling at the injection sites is common but usually resolves within a few hours. It is generally recommended to avoid strenuous exercise, excessive sun exposure, and lying down flat for the first few hours after treatment. Results typically become visible within 3-7 days, with full effect seen after two weeks. The effects of Glabella Botox usually last for 3-4 months, after which the lines will gradually reappear. Regular treatments can help to prevent the lines from deepening over time.
