Frown lines, sometimes called glabellar lines or “elevens”, are the vertical lines that form between the eyebrows.
Frown lines, sometimes called glabellar lines or “elevens”, are the vertical lines that form between the eyebrows. Dr Sateei’s approach focuses on softening them so your resting expression looks calmer.
Repeated contraction of the muscles between the eyebrows pulls the skin together, eventually creating a persistent line. Ageing, genetics, sun exposure and habitual expressions all contribute.
One or more vertical lines between the eyebrows, most visible when frowning or concentrating, sometimes visible at rest in established cases.
Anti-wrinkle injections soften the muscles between the brows so they pull the skin together with less force, smoothing the area both at rest and during expression. Dr Sateei’s precise, conservative dosing preserves natural brow movement, avoiding a flat or “frozen” look.
With over two decades of experience, Dr Sateei understands how to soften frown lines while keeping expression genuinely natural, at both her London (near Harley Street) and Sevenoaks clinics.
