Glabella Botox at Forever Young Spa. Priced per unit starting at $14. 262 Beacon Street, Suite 3.
Glabella Botox relaxes the corrugator supercilii and procerus muscles — the muscles responsible for vertical frown lines between the eyebrows, commonly called 11 lines. Most clients need 15 to 25 units depending on muscle strength. At Forever Young Spa, Botox is priced per unit starting at $14. Complimentary consultation included.
Unit count is always confirmed at consultation based on your muscle anatomy. The guide below reflects typical ranges for the glabella treatment area.
| Treatment | Typical Units | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | 15–20 units | Effective smoothing of 11 lines with reliable muscle relaxation. Most common starting point for first-time patients. |
| Men / Strong muscles | 20–25 units | Larger corrugator supercilii muscles in male clients typically require additional units for equivalent effect. |
| Combined upper face | 50–60 units total | Glabella treated alongside forehead and crow's feet in one session for harmonized upper-face result. |

The glabella is the area between the eyebrows where vertical frown lines — commonly called '11 lines' — form from repeated squinting and frowning. The corrugator supercilii and procerus muscles drive this movement. Glabella Botox is one of the most commonly requested treatments because frown lines give a tired, stern, or angry expression even when the face is relaxed. Relaxing these muscles with Botox smooths the 11 lines and softens the brow's resting expression.
Glabella Botox typically requires 15 to 25 units. Men generally require more units than women due to larger, stronger corrugator muscles. First-time patients often start at 20 units; subsequent treatments may require adjustment based on your response. The glabella is frequently treated alongside the forehead or crow's feet in the same session to harmonize the upper face — a combined upper face treatment typically runs 50 to 60 units total.
Glabella Botox typically lasts 3 to 4 months. The corrugator and procerus muscles are relatively small and well-targeted by Botox, producing reliable and consistent results. Clients who maintain regular treatment every 3 to 4 months often find results extending slightly over time as the muscle weakens with repeated treatment.
Yes, intentionally and unintentionally. Relaxing the corrugator supercilii can produce a subtle brow lift — particularly the medial brow — which many clients find desirable. Overly aggressive treatment can create a 'spocked' or arched brow if the lateral frontalis remains active while the medial brow is suppressed. An experienced injector adjusts the injection pattern based on your individual anatomy. A complimentary consultation at Forever Young Spa includes brow anatomy assessment.
Yes. Botox works by relaxing muscle, not by affecting the skin itself — it is appropriate for all skin types and tones. The treatment is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, for individuals with certain neuromuscular disorders, or for those taking medications that affect neuromuscular function (discuss all medications at your consultation).
Glabella Botox in Boston costs $280 to $350 for most clients (20 to 25 units at $14/unit at Forever Young Spa). The area is almost always treated alongside forehead lines in the same session — combined upper-face treatments cost less per area than individual bookings. Members receive 15% off all injectable treatments.
