Botox for Furrow Lines
The glabella is the flat area between the eyebrows on the lower forehead. This prominent space scrunches together when you squint, frown, or concentrate, creating dynamic vertical lines. The “11s,” or furrow lines, in the glabella are a common concern and one of the first wrinkles to appear with age. Botox was the original cosmetic injection FDA-approved to treat furrow and frown lines, and it remains one of the best options for smoothing the glabella. Dr. Erez Dayan offers Botox for furrow lines during a quick visit to Avance Plastic Surgery Institute in Reno/Tahoe, NV.
The glabella sits close to the brow, so smoothing the 11s without dropping the brow takes precise dose and placement — and that judgment is where Dr. Erez Dayan excels. A clinical investigator and key opinion leader for Allergan, the maker of Botox, and co-author of the textbook on facial anatomy and injectable safety, he is a board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon and Medical Director of Avance Plastic Surgery Institute. He completed the Harvard Plastic Surgery Program — serving as Chief Resident at Massachusetts General Hospital — before an elite aesthetic fellowship at the Dallas Plastic Surgery Institute, where he was one of only two surgeons selected. Botox for furrow lines is one of the practice’s Botox treatments.
What Causes Glabella 11’s and Frown Lines?
Known as furrow, glabella, 11s, or frown lines, these wrinkles are an unwelcome addition to the brow that can create a grumpy or stern appearance. They’re a tell-tale sign of aging, though they can appear as early as the 20s or 30s — often before other facial lines, due in part to collagen loss. Notably, the glabella is one area where dermal fillers tend to be less effective, which makes Botox and other neuromodulators the preferred treatment for frown lines, even in younger patients.
“The 11s are usually the first lines patients want to address, and they respond beautifully to Botox. The key near the brow is precise placement — relaxing the frown muscles without affecting the brow position, so the result looks smooth and natural.” — Dr. Erez Dayan
Smoothing Glabella 11’s in Reno/Tahoe
Botox works by blocking the nerve signals that trigger muscle contractions. To smooth the glabella 11s, Dr. Dayan uses several precisely placed injections to target the muscles that create these dynamic lines between the brows. Botox is well tolerated and has been used safely for decades with beautiful results — but the quality of those results depends on the skill behind the dose and placement, which is why every patient receives precise, individualized treatment. The procedure takes only a few minutes, with results noticeable in a few days and typically lasting three to four months.
