Frequently Asked Questions

What is the glabella and why is it treated with Botox?

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.

How many units of Botox do the 11 lines require?

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.

How long does glabella Botox last?

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.

Can Botox for the 11 lines change my brow shape?

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.

Is glabella Botox safe for all skin types?

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).

What does the glabella Botox treatment cost in Boston?

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.
