Frown Line (Glabellar) Botox in Seongsu, Seoul
Softening the "11 lines" between the brows for a calmer, more rested expression
Frown lines, often called the "11 lines," are the vertical creases between the eyebrows. They can make you look tired, worried or annoyed even when you are not. At Seongsu Melting Clinic in Seongsu, Seoul, Dr. Park Kyung-min treats them with glabellar Botox.
This is one of the most studied uses of botulinum toxin, and for many people it gives a calmer, more relaxed look.
What is glabellar Botox?
The glabella is the area between the brows. Two main muscles there, the corrugators and the procerus, pull the brows together and down when you frown, concentrate or squint. Over time, repeated pulling creases the skin.
Botulinum toxin relaxes these muscles, which reduces the frowning motion and gives the skin a chance to look smoother. Because these muscles pull the brows down, relaxing them may also give a slight lift to the inner brow in some people. The effect is temporary, and the muscles gradually regain strength over the following months.
How we approach frown line Botox at Seongsu Melting Clinic
Dr. Park asks you to frown and relax and observes the strength and shape of your muscle pattern. Some people pull mostly inward, others inward and down. The number of injection points and dose are planned based on that pattern.
Genuine products are used at exact doses. If you also have forehead lines, Dr. Park often plans both areas together, because the frown muscles and the forehead muscle work against each other. If lines are deeply etched at rest, he may discuss adding a skin booster, since Botox relaxes muscle but does not rebuild skin.

A note from Dr. Park
Dr. Park's standard of honest care means genuine products at the exact dose, and he explains to patients why that matters for predictable results. He also talks patients through each step as he treats, which many first-time Botox patients find reassuring.
Frequently asked questions
Will I stop looking tired or annoyed?
Many people look more relaxed because the frown is softer. Your expression still changes; it is simply gentler.
Can frown line Botox cause droopy eyelids?
It is uncommon but possible if toxin spreads to the eyelid muscle. Careful placement and aftercare lower the risk, and it is temporary if it happens.
How long do results last?
Usually a few months. Many people repeat treatment when they notice the frown returning.
