Quick answer
What Is Glabella Botox?
Glabella Botox is botulinum toxin injected into the corrugator and procerus muscles, which pull the brows together and down when you frown. Relaxing them softens the vertical lines between the brows, often called '11 lines'.
The glabella is one of the most common Botox areas because frown lines can make a face look stressed or cross even when you are relaxed. Usually 3–5 small injection points are enough.
If lines have been there for years, they may soften rather than fully disappear after one treatment. Regular treatment can help prevent them from etching deeper. The area is often combined with Forehead Botox for balance.

FAQ
Glabella Botox in Seoul – Frequently Asked Questions
How much is glabella Botox in Gangnam, Seoul?
At Doje Clinic, the cost of Glabella Botox depends on the areas treated and the bespoke plan designed at your 1:1 consultation with Dr. Byun Je-ik, so prices are confirmed after the doctor's assessment. Message us on WhatsApp for an initial guide.
Will glabella Botox remove deep 11 lines completely?
Glabella Botox reliably softens frown lines caused by movement. Lines that have been etched for many years may soften rather than vanish after one session, and repeated treatment usually improves them further.
Can glabella Botox cause droopy eyelids?
Temporary eyelid heaviness is uncommon and usually linked to toxin spreading toward the eyelid muscle. Careful placement and not rubbing the area help reduce this risk; if it happens, it typically fades within a few weeks.
How long does glabella Botox last?
Glabella Botox typically lasts 3 to 4 months. The frown muscles are strong, so some people notice movement returning toward the end of that range.
Should I treat the forehead and glabella together?
Often yes. Treating only the forehead can sometimes let the brows sit lower, while treating both keeps the upper face balanced. The doctor at Doje Clinic will advise based on your brow position.
Is glabella Botox suitable for a short trip to Seoul?
Yes. Glabella Botox takes about 10 minutes, has no downtime, and usually starts working within 2 to 5 days.
Do the doctors speak English?
Yes. English consultations are available, and you can book on WhatsApp at +82 10-6535-2110.
