Frown lines injection
Frown lines injected – for a harmonious, smoothed forehead area
The frown line is one of the most prominent expression lines on the face and appears as a vertical line between the eyebrows. This wrinkle is caused by the repeated tensing of the forehead muscles and can give a face a tense, stressed or even angry expression – regardless of how you actually feel. Many of those affected find this individually stressful for their personal appearance.
Targeted injection of the frown line is an effective yet gentle treatment option to relax the forehead region, soften fine lines and harmoniously preserve your natural facial expressions. Dr. Nauras Abuagela and his team focus on maximum precision, individual consultation and authentic-looking treatment results.
Botox (botulinum toxin) is injected precisely into the affected area between the eyebrows, smoothing the wrinkle and improving the quality of the skin in the long term.

Reasons
Why inject frown lines?
The frown line – medically known as the glabellar fold – is a natural mimic wrinkle that develops between the eyebrows in the course of life. It is caused by the everyday activity of our facial muscles.
Over time, however, these natural movement wrinkles can deepen and become permanently embedded in the skin. What was initially only visible in certain facial expressions eventually remains present even in relaxed moments. And this is often the challenge: the permanent frown lines give an impression that does not correspond to your inner state. It makes you appear tense, worried or dissatisfied. Even if you feel balanced inside. This discrepancy between your actual mood and your outwardly perceived charisma can be stressful.
The professional injection of Botox (botulinum toxin) specifically relaxes the affected muscles in the skin region between the eyebrows. The sunken tissue layers are gently smoothed and the natural firmness of your skin is noticeably restored.
How does a frown line injection work?
The preparation
The actual procedure is preceded by a detailed consultation in which we discuss your aesthetic ideas, personal expectations and specific needs in detail. We will examine the current condition of your facial skin in detail, assess the intensity of your frown lines and carefully clarify whether wrinkle injections are the best possible form of treatment for you.
It is crucial that you arrive for the treatment without make-up and that your skin is already thoroughly cleansed and dry. We also advise you to avoid irritating cosmetics, mechanical peelings or acidic products 24 hours before your appointment and – after consulting your doctor – to stop taking blood-thinning medication to reduce the risk of haematomas.
The treatment
The actual treatment begins with careful, professional cleaning and disinfection of the entire forehead area to guarantee maximum hygienic safety and the highest medical standards. Botox (botulinum toxin) is then injected into the affected glabellar region between the eyebrows in precise doses using ultra-fine microcannulas.
The injections are extremely precise and virtually painless, with the highly effective active ingredients penetrating deep into the skin layers, effectively relaxing the frown lines and thus visually tightening them. A complete treatment takes just 10-30 minutes and is carried out on an outpatient basis, so that you are fully socially acceptable and can return to your usual activities immediately afterwards.
The aftercare
Your forehead area is naturally particularly sensitive after the treatment, which is why we recommend that you use mild, soothing and skin-friendly skin care products over the next few days. You should avoid strenuous physical activity for the first 24-48 hours in order to prevent excessive sweating and potential irritation or swelling.
The visible duration of the treatment is usually between 6 and 12 months, depending on your personal metabolism, lifestyle and individual skin condition. In order to maintain the results achieved and preserve your youthful radiance in the long term, targeted refresher treatments can be planned individually.
Risks
Risks of injecting frown lines
Injecting the frown line is considered a medically proven and gentle treatment method. Nevertheless, it is important and responsible to be aware that – as with any medical or aesthetic procedure – individual risks may occur. These include, for example, temporary swelling, slight reddening of the skin, minor bruising or minimal sensitivity to pressure in the treated area.
However, with professional, expert execution by experienced medical professionals and careful, customized aftercare, possible risks can be significantly reduced, so that you can look forward to positive and lasting results.
It is crucial that the injections are carried out under absolutely sterile conditions, using state-of-the-art medical technology and exclusively with high-quality, certified preparations. In our practice, we follow the highest medical standards and place the utmost importance on individual, detailed consultation and careful, customized selection of the products used. We are extremely conscientious in checking whether the treatment is ideally suited to your skin and face type, your age and your health conditions.
Costs & financing
How much does frown line injection cost?
The final treatment price depends on several individual factors:
- the current condition of your skin
- the depth and intensity of the frown lines
- the desired scope of treatment
In principle, the cost of professional frown line injections in our practice starts at €129* per session.
We attach the utmost importance to complete transparency and reliability, which is why all costs incurred are discussed with you in detail and clearly in advance. In a personal, non-binding consultation, we will explain the entire treatment process to you, answer all your questions and draw up a cost plan tailored to your individual wishes and budget. This means you always have a complete overview.
If you would like flexible financing for your aesthetic treatment, we will of course be happy to advise you on the various possibilities and options.
