Vertical “11” lines
The wrinkles that come from the corrugator muscle. Relaxing it opens up the frown and gradually softens the crease.

Furrowed brow
What are frown lines?
The area between the brows, or glabellar region, is where several small but very powerful muscles meet, mainly the corrugator and the procerus. These are the muscles that furrow your brow and pull the eyebrows towards the centre and downwards. They contract every time you concentrate, squint at the sun, read up close or worry.
Over time one or two vertical lines appear (the famous “11 lines”) and sometimes a horizontal wrinkle across the bridge of the nose. These are the wrinkles that convey negative emotions most: many people come to us because they are told they look angry or serious when they are perfectly calm.
It is one of the areas that responds best to neuromodulators. By temporarily relaxing the muscles that frown, the skin stops folding so strongly, the crease softens and your expression becomes more open. As the frontalis muscle keeps working, you can still raise your eyebrows normally.
At Centro Ubud the treatment is performed by a doctor, who assesses the strength of your frown, the shape of your brows and whether any habits make it worse, such as straining your eyes. From there they decide the dose and the exact injection points.
This treatment is for you if…
- People tell you that you look cross or worried when you’re not.
- You have one or two vertical lines between your brows.
- Your frown line stays marked at the end of the day or when you wake up.
- You frown a lot when concentrating, driving or looking at screens.
- You want a more open, relaxed look without losing your expression.
If you frown because of eyesight problems, it is worth having your eyes checked too: the treatment relaxes the expression but does not correct the cause. It is not given during pregnancy, breastfeeding or with neuromuscular conditions.
What we treat
The frown area and its surroundings
Bridge of the nose line
The horizontal line at the root of the nose that appears when you frown. It depends on the procerus muscle and is treated in the same session.
Frown lines and forehead
Many people have their forehead treated at the same time. Doing it in a balanced way stops the brows from lifting or dropping artificially.
Forehead wrinkles
Deeply etched creases
When the crease is deep and visible at rest, a fine mark may remain. We assess whether it is also worth improving the skin quality in the area.

What frown line treatment involves
A short, precise medical procedure, with a follow-up check to review the result.
Assessment
Strength of the frown
The doctor observes how you frown, whether your brows draw together or drop and whether the crease shows at rest, to personalise the points and dose.
Session
A few points, a few minutes
Small amounts are applied at a few points between the brows using very fine needles. You need no anaesthetic and no recovery time.
Effect
Gradual and natural
The first changes show within a few days and the full result at around two weeks, when we do the follow-up check.

Frequently asked questions
Questions about frown lines
Will I still be able to frown?
You’ll notice it is much harder to frown, which is exactly what softens the wrinkle. The rest of your face keeps its movement, so you can still express yourself normally.
How long does the effect last between the brows?
It is temporary and usually lasts several months. This area has strong muscles, so the duration varies from person to person and with the dose used. We’ll tell you when to come back for a check.
Does it hurt?
Very fine needles are used and there are usually only a few points. Most people describe it as brief, tolerable pricks.
Can the eyelid droop?
It is an uncommon and temporary complication linked to technique and the placement of the points. That is why it is applied by a doctor and you are given aftercare guidelines, such as not massaging the area or lying down for the first few hours.
What is the difference between frown lines and forehead wrinkles?
They are different muscles: for frown lines we relax the ones that furrow the brow, and on the forehead the one that raises the eyebrows. They can be treated separately or together depending on what you need.
Can the frown line be filled with hyaluronic acid?
In some very deep creases it may be considered, but it is a delicate area and the usual approach is to start by relaxing the muscle. The doctor will tell you if your case needs anything more.
What aftercare is needed?
For the first few hours avoid lying down, rubbing or massaging the area, intense exercise and strong heat such as saunas. You can wear make-up and go back to work the same day.
How much does frown line treatment cost in Torremolinos?
It depends on whether you treat only the frown lines or combine them with the forehead or crow’s feet. At your free consultation we give you a fixed, no-obligation quote.
