Glabella Line Treatment: Step-by-Step Guide
Consultation

Shay Novi tailors each treatment plan to the individual, focusing on your unique facial structure and aesthetic goals. She specifically targets the glabella lines (frown lines) to achieve a smooth, natural appearance, ensuring that your expressions remain soft and genuine. Shay will have you make various facial expressions to determine the precise number of units needed to optimize results based on your anatomy. The aim is to provide a subtle yet noticeable enhancement that improves your overall appearance while avoiding a “frozen” look.
Procedure
Shay uses the two most popular neurotoxins on the market for glabella lines, ensuring you get the best results. Key differences between Botox and Dysport for the glabella muscle:
1. Composition: Both Botox and Dysport contain botulinum toxin type A, but the protein surrounding the toxin in each formulation is different. This affects how they spread in the tissue.
2. Spread and Diffusion: Dysport tends to spread more than Botox, which can be beneficial for treating larger areas with fewer injections. However, this also means it requires more precision to avoid affecting unintended muscles.
3. Onset of Action: Dysport often shows results faster than Botox, sometimes within 1-2 days compared to Botox’s 3-5 days.
4. Duration of Effect: The effects of both treatments last about the same amount of time, generally 3-4 months, though this can vary based on the individual and the specific area treated.
5. Unit Dosage: Dysport and Botox dosages are measured differently. Dysport generally requires more units to achieve the same effect as a smaller number of Botox units.
6. FDA Approval ad Usagen: While both are approved for cosmetic use in several areas of the face, they might have different approvals for specific medical conditions.
Choosing between Botox and Dysport often comes down to the specific needs and goals of the patient, as well as the preference and experience of the medical professional administering the injections.

Glabella Lines FAQs
What are glabella lines?
Glabella lines, also known as “angry 11s” or frown lines, are the vertical wrinkles between your eyebrows that appear when you frown, squint, or make other facial expressions. These lines can deepen with time and can make you look tired, upset, or older than you feel.
How does the treatment work?
The treatment works by soothing the muscles between your eyebrows using Botox or Dysport. These neurotoxins prevent the muscles from contracting, which smooths out the frown lines and prevents them from getting deeper. The result is a more relaxed, youthful appearance.
Which is better: Botox or Dysport for glabella lines?
Both Botox and Dysport are highly effective for treating glabella lines. Botox is excellent for more targeted, precise treatments, while Dysport spreads slightly faster, making it ideal for larger areas. Shay will recommend the best option based on your specific needs.
Is Botox for Glabella Lines Suitable for All Skin Types?
Botox for glabella lines is suitable for all skin types because it targets the muscle activity beneath the skin rather than the skin itself.
Why Are the Forehead and Glabella Injected Together?
Injecting the forehead (frontalis muscle) and the glabella (area between the brows) together is important to maintain facial balance and achieve natural-looking results. The frontalis muscle lifts the eyebrows and wrinkles the forehead, while the glabella muscles (procerus and corrugator) pull the eyebrows downward. Treating only one of these areas can result in an imbalance, leading to unnatural expressions or unintended side effects, such as uneven eyebrow movement or drooping.
What is Ape-man Syndrome?
“Ape-man Syndrome” refers to an unnatural appearance that can occur when only the forehead is injected with Botox or Dysport, leaving the glabella untreated. If the frontalis muscle is relaxed without addressing the glabella, the unopposed downward pull of the glabella muscles can cause the brows to lower or droop, creating a heavy, “ape-man like” appearance.
To avoid this, skilled injectors treat both the forehead and glabella together, ensuring a balanced outcome with smooth, lifted brows and a youthful appearance.
Is the treatment painful?
This procedure is generally well tolerated, with most patients reporting only minor discomfort during treatment. The injections are performed using small, fine needles and typically take about 10-15 minutes to complete.
How long does it take to see results?
You will start to notice improvements within a few days, with the full effects visible in 14 days. The treated area will appear smoother, and your frown lines will be significantly reduced.
Is there any downtime after the treatment?
There is no downtime required! Most patients are able to resume work and other daily activities immediately after the treatment. However, it is recommended to avoid exercise for 24 hours. While mild redness or swelling at the injection site is common, it typically subsides within minutes.
How long do the results last?
Results typically last 3 months. Regular maintenance treatments will help keep your skin looking smooth and youthful over time.
Who is a good candidate for glabella line treatment?
This treatment is ideal for anyone looking to smooth frown lines between the eyebrows and achieve a younger, refreshed appearance. Whether you’re concerned with deep lines or more subtle wrinkles, Botox or Dysport can help you achieve natural-looking results.
Are there any side effects?
Side effects are rare, but you might experience mild swelling or redness at the injection site, which typically fades within minutes post injection. Serious side effects are very rare, and are typically seen with unlicensed injectors that purchase the neurotoxin from non-reliable sources rather than the manufacturer. Shay will thoroughly review your medical history and any allergies to ensure the treatment is safe for you.
