Quick answer · What is Frown Lines?
Frown lines, also called glabellar or 11 lines, are vertical creases between the eyebrows caused by repeated frowning and squinting, deepened by collagen loss and sun exposure. At RE:BERRY Myeongdong they are typically treated with glabella botox to relax the frown muscles, adding a skin booster or soft filler for lines that remain at rest. Botox takes about 10 minutes with no real downtime, and results usually last three to four months.

How it works
Why 11 lines form and how they are softened
The corrugator and procerus muscles pull the brows together each time you frown, folding the skin into vertical lines that gradually become etched in. Botox relaxes these muscles so the lines soften and the brow looks calmer, while a booster or very soft filler can improve creases that remain at rest.
-
Movement diagnosis
Your doctor checks how strongly you frown, where the lines sit and whether they are visible at rest.
-
Tailored treatment
Botox is injected into a few precise points between the brows, with a booster or soft filler for deeper creases if needed.
-
Follow-up & maintenance
Results appear within 3–14 days; repeating every three to four months helps prevent lines from deepening.
