Botox for the glabella (between the eyebrows)

Have you heard about Botox injections in the glabella (the area between the eyebrows)?

Every day we laugh, get surprised, gesture, talk… In short, we live every minute intensely, and the more than 30 muscles in our face are in constant motion.

And all of that is wonderful—but facial expressions also have consequences: the appearance of wrinkles in the forehead and glabellar area. That’s why this is one of our star facial treatments. In our aesthetic medicine clinics, we treat the glabella, forehead, and crow’s feet at the same time to achieve greater overall harmony.

Glabellar Botox is one of the most effective treatments to soften the so-called “frown lines” and achieve a more relaxed, open expression. At Bloome, we approach glabellar treatment from a medical, precise, and personalized perspective, always prioritizing natural-looking results and patient safety.

Why do wrinkles appear between the eyebrows?

The glabella is the area of the face located between the eyebrows and a few centimeters above. It’s a place where wrinkles and expression lines naturally tend to appear due to repeated contraction of forehead muscles and facial gestures. This can make our appearance look aged, tired, or even angry.

These wrinkles can appear both due to the natural passage of time and many other factors: genetic predisposition, eye conditions such as myopia, dry or sensitive skin, prolonged sun exposure, or stress can cause the skin to lose elasticity and lead to earlier development of these expression lines.

How does Botox work in the glabella?

Several muscles overlap in the glabellar area, and their function is to move the upper eyelids, the eyebrow, and the nasal root. These muscles are responsible for facial mimicry and expression.

By applying facial Botox, these wrinkles can be reduced, softening expression while maintaining a natural look—without losing expressiveness and facial movement.

Botox in the forehead and glabella produces a local effect on the muscle, temporarily decreasing or blocking the signals the nervous system sends to make the muscle contract. The result? Skin that looks smoother, more relaxed, and more revitalized.

When applied correctly, Botox softens lines without changing facial identity.

How do we approach facial Botox at Bloome?

At Bloome, to ensure a complete treatment for our patients, we don’t only apply Botox to the glabella—we also treat the forehead and crow’s feet. This allows us to maximize results.

The areas that benefit most from facial Botox treatments are the most common concern zones: glabella, forehead, lips, gummy smile, and crow’s feet. Also Botox for men.

How it acts on the muscles responsible for frowning

Botulinum toxin works by temporarily blocking the nerve signal that activates the corrugator muscles in the glabella. As these muscles relax, the skin gradually smooths and the expression looks more rested.

Why the glabella is one of the most treated Botox areas

The glabella contracts constantly when we concentrate, frown, or express concern. This repeated movement encourages the development of marked wrinkles—even at a young age—making it one of the most commonly treated areas with Botox.

Benefits of glabellar Botox

Glabellar Botox provides both aesthetic and functional benefits:

  • Softens deep wrinkles

  • Improves facial expression

  • Helps prevent lines from becoming more pronounced over time

Glabellar wrinkles it can soften (glabellar lines / “frown lines”)

This treatment is especially indicated for the vertical lines between the eyebrows, also known as glabellar lines or “frown lines,” which can create a harsh or tense expression.

How it achieves a more relaxed, less tense look without losing expression

One of Bloome’s main goals is to achieve balanced results. A well-dosed treatment allows for a natural “glabella Botox before and after,” where the face maintains expressiveness without stiffness.

Glabellar Botox results: when they appear and how long they last

One of the most frequent questions is when the effects become noticeable and how long they last. The first changes typically show an initial improvement between 3 and 5 days, when the muscle begins to relax. The full result—optimal effect—appears between 10 and 15 days. The final result of Botox in the glabella is seen between 10 and 15 days, when lines are visibly softened. Duration: an average of 4 to 6 months, depending on individual factors.

We recommend expanding on all this information in our dedicated article: specific results of glabellar Botox. You can also consult: how long glabellar Botox lasts.

Before the session, the glabellar muscles are evaluated, injection points are marked, and the procedure is explained. The session is quick and discomfort is minimal.

After treatment, it is common to observe a progressive softening of wrinkles and a more open, relaxed, rested expression.

Do you have questions? We will resolve them for you.

Does the treatment hurt?

The discomfort is minimal and well tolerated by most patients.

When does Botox start to show in the area between the eyebrows?

The effects of Botox on the frown lines, forehead, and crow's feet begin to be visible from the third or fourth day of application, but the final results will be observed after 15 days.

How long does Botox last in the glabella (between the eyebrows)?

The effects of Botox on the glabella (between the eyebrows) last between 4 and 6 months, although the total duration will depend on each person, based on individual characteristics such as metabolism and muscle tone.

Since the effects of Botox are temporary, if you want to maintain the results for longer, another application will be necessary. In most cases, after several applications, the muscles in the area are retrained, and the effects of Botox will last longer.

What's better for frown lines, Botox or hyaluronic acid?

Although both substances are used to rejuvenate the face and enhance your natural beauty, their mechanisms of action and effects differ. To soften, eliminate, and prevent the appearance of frown lines, Botox is the most suitable treatment, as it works by relaxing the muscles in this area, restoring smoothness and radiance without compromising a natural look.

In some cases, when the lines or wrinkles are very pronounced, the treatment can be complemented with hyaluronic acid injections. Don't worry, our medical team will assess your case to recommend the best option for your needs.

How much product is usually used?

The amount varies according to muscle strength and the depth of wrinkles, always determined after medical evaluation.

Can I put on makeup or do sports afterwards?

It is recommended to wait at least 24 hours before applying makeup or doing intense exercise.

Can an artificial expression remain?

When the treatment is properly indicated and correctly applied, the result is natural and progressive, without facial stiffness.
