Frown Lines Treatments in Korea: Your Comprehensive Guide

Korea is a global leader in advanced cosmetic and anti-aging treatments, offering a wide array of effective solutions for frown lines, also known as "the 11s." These vertical creases that form between the eyebrows can make a person look perpetually angry or stressed. Korean clinics utilize a combination of cutting-edge injectables, lasers, and lifting technologies to safely and effectively smooth these lines, restoring a more relaxed, youthful, and refreshed appearance with minimal downtime.


What are Frown Lines?

Frown lines are the vertical lines that appear between the eyebrows. These are dynamic wrinkles, primarily caused by repeated muscle contractions from facial expressions such as frowning or squinting. Over time, as we lose collagen and elastin, these lines can become deeper and more permanent. The corrugator supercilii and procerus muscles are the main culprits behind their formation.


Popular Types of Frown Lines Treatments in Korea

  • Botox (Botulinum Toxin): This is the gold standard for frown lines. Botox temporarily relaxes the muscles responsible for the wrinkles, smoothing the skin on top. The effects typically last for 3-6 months.
  • Dermal Fillers: For very deep, static frown lines, a small amount of hyaluronic acid (HA) filler can be used to fill in the creases. This is often done in combination with Botox.
  • Energy-Based Treatments:
  • HIFU (e.g., Shurink): Can help tighten the skin in the upper face, which can indirectly soften frown lines.
  • PDO Thread Lifts: Some specialized thread lifts can provide a lifting effect to the brow area, helping to reduce the appearance of frown lines.
