What Are Glabellar Lines?
The glabellar lines, commonly known as “frown lines” or “11 lines,” refer to vertical wrinkles between the eyebrows. Repetitive muscle movements often cause these lines, like frowning, squinting, or concentrating. Over time, the muscles in this area contract and form deep lines, even when the face is at rest. Collagen and elasticity of the skin diminish with age, causing these lines to become more pronounced.
At IWH Medspa in Ventura, CA, we offer effective, non-surgical treatments to smooth out glabellar lines, giving you a refreshed and youthful appearance. Whether your lines are mild or more deeply set, we have the solutions to help you look and feel your best.
Treatment Options for Glabellar Lines
We provide a variety of treatments designed to reduce or eliminate glabellar lines according to the type of skin you have and the severity of your wrinkles.
Botox® or Dysport® Injections
Botox® and Dysport® are neuromodulators that relax the muscles between the eyebrows, preventing the formation of frown lines and softening existing wrinkles. These treatments are the most common and effective solution for glabellar lines.
- Ideal for: Dynamic wrinkles caused by muscle contraction
- Downtime: Minimal to none
- Results Last: 3-4 months
Dermal Fillers
For deeper glabellar lines that persist even at rest, dermal fillers can restore volume and smooth the skin. Hyaluronic acid-based fillers like Juvéderm® can fill in the lines, giving you a more youthful look.
- Ideal for: Deep or static glabellar lines
- Downtime: Minimal
- Results Last: 6-12 months
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)
PRP therapy uses your own blood’s platelets to stimulate collagen production and rejuvenate the skin. This natural, minimally invasive treatment can reduce the appearance of glabellar lines and improve skin texture.
- Ideal for: Natural skin rejuvenation and subtle lip volume enhancement
- Downtime: None to minimal
- Results Last: 6 months to 1 year

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
What causes glabellar lines?
Glabellar lines form due to repetitive muscle movement, like frowning or squinting. The skin loses elasticity as we age, making these lines more visible and permanent.
