Frown lines, or glabellar lines, are the vertical creases that form between the eyebrows — often deepening with time and unintentionally making the face appear worried, tense, or fatigued. These lines are not just cosmetic; they can affect how you feel about your appearance and how others perceive your expressions.
At Monaz Clinic on prestigious Harley Street, we offer medically-led anti-wrinkle injections that gently reduce the visibility of frown lines by addressing the underlying muscle activity that causes them. This refined technique softens the area without freezing your natural expressions. The goal is never to change your face, but to help you look less stern and more rested — like you’ve had a good night’s sleep.
Every treatment is performed by a medically qualified aesthetic practitioner in a discreet and supportive clinic environment dedicated exclusively to women.
Frown lines are dynamic wrinkles that emerge in the glabellar complex — the area between the eyebrows, just above the nasal bridge. Initially, they form only when frowning or squinting. Over time, repeated muscle activity causes these creases to persist even when the face is at rest.
Primary Causes Include:
Anti-wrinkle injections do not treat the skin itself but instead reduce the muscle activity beneath it. This gives the skin time to smooth out and reduces the development of deeper creasing over time.
Women often choose this treatment because it offers visible, gradual softening of lines with minimal disruption to daily life. It is ideal for those looking for a non-surgical solution that still delivers measurable results.
Key Benefits:
This treatment is a well-established, clinically monitored method of managing early signs of facial ageing with a subtle, rejuvenated outcome.
Anti-wrinkle injections for glabellar lines are appropriate for women who:
Before any treatment, you will undergo a full facial assessment and medical screening to ensure the treatment is suitable and safe for you.
Anti-wrinkle injections use a prescription-only medicine containing a purified protein called botulinum toxin type A. This substance temporarily disrupts the nerve signals that stimulate specific facial muscles. By reducing the overactive movement in the frown area, the skin has a chance to appear smoother and more rested.
