Frown lines, those vertical wrinkles between your eyebrows—can make you appear angry, stressed, or unapproachable, even when you don’t feel that way. In some cases, they can even lead to tension headaches or migraines, without a clear medical cause.
These lines, also known as glabellar lines or the “elevens” in the U.S., form over time due to repeated muscle contractions in the area between your brows. Genetics often play a role, and the resulting expression can affect not only how others perceive you, but also how you feel. Continuous frowning sends signals to your brain associated with negative emotions, potentially making you feel more tense or down.
Want to reduce or eliminate your frown lines? A Botox treatment can relax the overactive muscles that cause these wrinkles. In some cases, the treatment can be combined with an injectable filler for optimal results. Botox temporarily stops muscle activity, softening the lines while preserving your natural facial expression.
Many people who frown frequently report a relaxing and calming effect in their forehead after treatment. And the difference in the mirror is often striking—you’ll look noticeably more friendly, rested, and approachable.

Frown lines are often genetically determined, but they also form as the skin loses elasticity with age. From around the age of 20 to 25, your body gradually starts producing less collagen and elastin. As this natural decline accelerates, the first deep lines between the eyebrows begin to appear.
These lines can give your face a tired, angry, or tense appearance, and in some cases, they may even cause headaches due to constant muscle tension. Over time, after years of frowning, these lines may no longer disappear, even when your face is relaxed.
Botox is an effective solution to reduce or eliminate these lines by relaxing the muscles in the area. In cases where the crease is especially deep, injectable fillers can be used in combination with Botox to restore volume and smooth the skin.
When you arrive at one of our clinics, we start by taking clinical photos and conducting a consultation to understand your personal goals. Together with the doctor, you’ll develop a customized treatment plan completely non-binding and without obligation.
If you decide to proceed, we’ll schedule your Botox treatment at a convenient time. During the procedure, a small amount of Botox is precisely injected into the frown lines and glabellar region using an ultra-fine needle.
Botox is a clear, water-thin solution that is absorbed directly into the muscle tissue. It gently relaxes the overactive muscles, allowing the skin to smooth out and rest. In most cases, Botox alone is enough to eliminate the frown lines. However, if the crease is very deep, additional support may be required in the form of dermal fillers such as Juvéderm, Radiesse, or Belotero. These help to restore lost volume and soften the groove—without altering your natural expression.
The treatment is quick, effective, and virtually painless. In fact, you could easily have it done during your lunch break.
Immediately after your Botox treatment, you may notice some redness or mild swelling at the injection sites during the first 30 minutes. In rare cases, a small bruise or discoloration may occur. If needed, this can be easily covered with makeup. It’s important not to massage or apply pressure to the treated area for at least 8 hours after the procedure. Doing so could cause the product to migrate to nearby muscles, potentially leading to unwanted effects.
Some clients may experience mild headaches in the first few days following the treatment. This is typically due to partial muscle activity, as not all fibers have fully relaxed yet. The sensation is temporary and over-the-counter pain relief is allowed. The full results of your Botox treatment are typically visible after one to two weeks, once the skin has fully healed and the treated muscles are completely relaxed. Any initial tight or “stiff” feeling often fades during this time.
Although Botox is gradually broken down by the body within two to three months, the effects may last longer. This is because the muscles have had time to rest, and you may subconsciously reduce the habit of frowning—helping to maintain smoother skin over tim
At Van Rosmalen Clinic, we believe in achieving natural-looking results that preserve your unique facial expression. Every treatment is carefully tailored to enhance your own features—creating a more relaxed and youthful version of yourself.Shortly after the treatment, many clients notice a lighter, more relaxed feeling in the forehead. People often rub their brow at the end of a long day to relieve muscle tension—but after Botox, that urge typically disappears, which is often experienced as a genuine relief.
Your overall facial expression becomes softer and more approachable, and as the muscles in the frown area relax, the eyebrows are naturally lifted. The frown muscles normally pull the brows downward, so this lifting effect can even help delay the need for eyelid correction in some cases. The frown line area is one of the easiest and most subtle places to start with Botox. Treating it doesn’t make people notice what’s missing—rather, they see a brighter, friendlier version of you. You won’t likely be asked if you’ve had “something done,” but people may comment on how refreshed and approachable you look.
For the best results, Botox can be combined with skin therapy treatments that help refine pores and improve skin texture, further enhancing the overall effect.

Frown lines are the vertical wrinkles between your eyebrows. They form as a result of repeated muscle contractions, such as when you frown, squint, or concentrate. Over time, these movements cause the underlying muscles to crease the skin in the same spot. As the skin ages and begins to lose elasticity and collagen, these lines can become deeper and more permanent, even when your facial muscles are relaxed.
Frown lines can be effectively reduced with a Botox treatment. Using a fine needle, Botox is precisely injected into the frown line the area between the eyebrows. The botox temporarily blocks the nerve signals to the targeted muscles, which reduces muscle activity. As a result, the skin in this area can relax, allowing the wrinkles to soften and fade.
