11 Lines are quite common even in younger people, and can be caused by frequent frowning. But there’s nothing to worry about – Botox can effectively diminish the visibility and prominence of frown lines, along with restoring the younger look you want.
In today’s blog, we will share everything you should know about 11 lines Botox.
What are 11 Lines (Frown Lines)?
Frown lines, also known as glabellar or 11 lines, are the creases (wrinkles) that are formed right above the nose and between the eyebrows. These lines are dynamic in nature and arise from repetitive facial expressions.
What Causes 11 Lines?
The occurrence of frown lines is primarily linked to excessive frowning, along with the natural decline in skin elasticity due to aging. Also, genetic predisposition plays a significant role in determining the severity of these lines, which explains why not all individuals who frequently frown develop prominent 11 lines.
11 Lines Botox
Botox effectively reduces the prominence of 11 lines by interrupting the communication between nerves and muscles. When Botox is injected into the specific facial muscles that are responsible for the formation of these lines, it temporarily stops their excessive contraction. This muscle relaxation leads to a softening of the skin above the eyebrows, resulting in reduction visibility of 11 lines, and ultimately providing a smoother and more youthful facial appearance.
What Age is Suitable to Get Botox?
Botox treatment for frown lines is FDA-approved for individuals aged 18 and above. Minors seeking cosmetic Botox procedures may do so with parental consent, although practitioners typically decline such treatments for those below the age of 18.
How Many Units of Botox are Required for 11 Lines?
The dosage of Botox required for frown line treatment varies among genders, with women typically needing around 20 doses and men potentially requiring up to 30 doses to treat the exact same wrinkles.
The specific amount of Botox administered is also influenced by the severity of the frown lines and the desired outcomes of the patient.
11 Lines Botox Aftercare
The aftercare instructions for 11 lines Botox, include:
- Don’t bend your neck for two hours.
- Avoid lying down for four hours.

- Stay away from blood thinners and Ibuprofen as long as your provider says.
- Keep the treated area out of direct sunlight.
- Don’t touch or press on the area for a few days.
