Despite having a friendly disposition or being in a great mood, some women and men are constantly asked if they are stressed or mad. They may even be labeled as unapproachable or cold, which can negatively affect them in both personal and professional relationships.

Fortunately, Botox can offer these individuals a non-surgical solution to their bothersome frown lines, also known as 11 lines.

Continue reading to learn how you can get rid of your frown lines with Botox and what to expect should you decide to undergo treatment.

What is Botox and How Does It Work?

Botox is a non-invasive injectable treatment designed to smooth lines and wrinkles. When administered to targeted facial muscles, Botox blocks the release of acetylcholine and limits muscle contraction. Doing so, relaxes 11 lines and prevents them from deepening.

Botox is also FDA-approved to treat forehead lines and crow’s feet.

Why Get Rid of Your 11 Lines With Botox?

Many women and men elect to undergo Botox injections because they are a quick, safe, and effective way to refresh their appearance, without any downtime.

Patients often seek treatment of their 11 lines because they are tired of looking tense, angry, or upset. After Botox is precisely delivered to overactive frown-inducing muscles, lines soften and individuals appear more approachable, friendly, and youthful.

How Quickly Does Botox Smooth Lines?

Within 3-5 days of having Botox, patients will note softening of 11 lines between their brows. When performed by a leading dermatologist or injector like Dr. Colombo, results are extremely natural, yet noticeable.

Accordingly, friends and family members may comment that you look more vibrant and healthy, but remain unaware that you’ve had a cosmetic treatment.

How Long Do Results Last?

While results can vary depending on patient characteristics, dosing, and provider expertise, patients typically enjoy Botox benefits for 3-4 months. At this time, additional injections will be necessary to maintain wrinkle-smoothing effects.
