The glabella, the area between your eyebrows where frown lines or ‘11s’ appear. These lines can give an impression of stress or anger, even when you’re perfectly content. At HAVA Aesthetics, we offer specialised anti-wrinkle injections that target frown lines, helping to smooth out these creases and give you a more relaxed and youthful appearance. Here’s everything you need to know about this effective treatment.
What are glabella injections?
Glabella injections, a procedure which HAVA Aesthetics refers to as frown line treatment, involve using a neurotoxin to relax the muscles responsible for causing wrinkles between the eyebrows. By temporarily paralysing these muscles, the skin smooths out, and the appearance of lines in this area is significantly reduced.
The injection process
Consultation and Assessment
Before the procedure, HAVA Aesthetics conducts a thorough consultation to understand your aesthetic goals and assess the severity of your glabella lines. This helps our practitioners to determine the appropriate dosage and precise injection points.
Preparation
The treatment area is cleaned, and a topical anaesthetic may be applied to minimise discomfort. While the procedure is generally well-tolerated, this step ensures maximum comfort.
Injection Technique
Using a fine needle, small amounts of the neurotoxin are injected into specific muscles in the glabella area. The key muscles targeted are the corrugator, procerus, and corrugator supercillii muscles, which are primarily responsible for frown lines. Our injector’s expertise is crucial here, as precise placement ensures natural-looking results and reduces the risk of side effects.
Post-Injection Care
After the injections, it’s recommended to avoid lying down or applying pressure to the treated area for a few hours. Strenuous activities and direct sun exposure should also be avoided for at least 24 hours. You might experience slight redness or swelling at the injection sites, but these effects typically subside quickly.
Expected results
Immediate Effects
The results from glabella injections are not immediate. It typically takes a few days for the neurotoxin to take effect, with full results visible within one to two weeks. You’ll notice a significant reduction in the appearance of frown lines, giving you a more relaxed and refreshed look.
Longevity
The effects of frown line treatment generally last between three to six months. As the neurotoxin wears off, muscle activity gradually returns, and lines may reappear. Regular maintenance treatments can help sustain the smooth, youthful appearance.
Natural Look
When administered by HAVA Aesthetics’ skilled professionals, anti-wrinkle injections for glabella lines provide a natural-looking result. The goal is to soften the wrinkles without completely freezing your expressions. You’ll still be able to show emotion, but without the deep frown lines that can make you look older or perpetually worried.
Benefits of glabella injections
Non-Surgical Solution
Glabella injections offer a non-invasive alternative to surgical procedures. There’s no downtime, and you can resume your normal activities almost immediately after the treatment.
Quick and Convenient
The entire procedure typically takes less than 30 minutes, making it a perfect lunchtime treatment. This convenience allows you to fit it into even the busiest of schedules.
Confidence Boost
Smoothing out glabella lines can have a profound impact on your overall appearance and self-confidence. Looking less stressed or angry can positively affect both personal and professional interactions.
