Botulinum toxin type A relaxes the corrugator and procerus muscles to soften the frown lines between the brows, with results that typically last 3 to 4 months.
Glabella botox in Seoul uses small injections of botulinum toxin type A to relax the corrugator and procerus muscles, softening the vertical frown lines between your eyebrows. The treatment takes about 10 to 15 minutes, results emerge within 3 to 7 days, and effects usually last 3 to 4 months at our three Seoul-area locations.

Glabella botox is the use of botulinum toxin type A, a purified neuromodulator, to relax the corrugator and procerus muscles that pull the brows together and create the vertical frown lines, sometimes called the 11 lines, between the eyebrows. By reducing this pulling action, the skin creases less, so dynamic lines soften and deeper static lines may improve over time.
At Reberry Clinic, treatment is consultation-led. The clinic’s doctors assess your muscle strength, brow position, and the depth of your frown lines before deciding on placement and dose, usually across about 5 injection points. Careful dosing keeps a natural, relaxed look while preserving normal brow expression.
The glabella is one of the most-studied areas for botulinum toxin, and it is often planned together with the forehead, because the two muscle groups balance each other and treating them together keeps the brow position natural. International patients are supported in English across our three Seoul-area locations (Gangnam, Myeongdong, Incheon Airport).
Botulinum toxin type A is a neuromodulator that temporarily blocks the release of acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction, the chemical signal that tells a muscle to contract. When small, precisely placed doses are injected into the corrugator and procerus muscles, those muscles relax, so the skin between the brows folds less when you frown or concentrate. The effect is gradual and reversible: as nerve terminals form new connections over roughly 3 to 4 months, muscle movement returns and the treatment wears off, which is why maintenance sessions are needed.

The doctor studies your frown movement and brow position to plan placement across roughly 5 to 7 injection points.
Tiny amounts of botulinum toxin type A are injected into the corrugator and procerus muscles over about 10 to 15 minutes.
The toxin blocks acetylcholine release, reducing muscle contraction within 3 to 7 days.
As the muscles relax, the vertical frown lines soften, with full effect by around 2 weeks.
Movement returns over 3 to 4 months as nerve signalling recovers, so maintenance sessions sustain results.

The clinic’s doctors assess your frown movement, brow position, and goals, planning dose and placement across about 5 points in English.
The injections take about 10 to 15 minutes; optional numbing or ice keeps the visit comfortable.
You can usually return to normal activities right away, avoiding rubbing the area for a few hours.
Frown lines begin softening in 3 to 7 days, with the full effect at around 2 weeks.
Results last about 3 to 4 months; repeat sessions maintain a smooth, natural look.
Glabella botox is the injection of botulinum toxin type A into the corrugator and procerus muscles to soften the vertical frown lines, often called the 11 lines, between the brows. By relaxing these muscles, the skin creases less. Results appear within 3 to 7 days and typically last 3 to 4 months before a repeat session.
Glabella botox usually lasts about 3 to 4 months, after which muscle movement gradually returns and the frown lines reappear. Higher doses may last a little longer, though dosing is individualised on our botox injection page. Most patients schedule maintenance three to four times a year to stay smooth.
You will typically notice softening within 3 to 7 days, with the full effect developing by around 2 weeks as the muscles fully relax. Lines that deepen when you frown respond first. Deeper lines that remain visible at rest may need a couple of sessions to improve gradually over several months.
Discomfort is minimal, described as brief pinprick sensations during the roughly 5 small injections between the brows. The needles are very fine, and ice or topical numbing can be used for sensitive patients. The whole process takes about 10 to 15 minutes, and any stinging fades almost immediately after each injection.
Downtime is minimal, and most patients return to daily activities right away. You may see tiny red marks or, rarely, a small bruise that settles within a few days. Avoid rubbing the area, lying flat, or vigorous exercise for several hours so the product settles where the doctor intended it.
Not when dosed conservatively. The aim is to soften the frown while keeping natural expression, so you do not look angry at rest but can still move your brows. The clinic’s doctors tailor the dose to your muscle strength. You can read about overall injectable balance on our botox injection page.
The glabella muscles pull the brow down while the forehead muscle lifts it, so treating only the glabella can occasionally raise the brows unevenly. Doctors frequently balance both areas for a natural look. Your doctor explains the combined plan and dose during your consultation before any injections are given.
Adults with dynamic frown lines that deepen when concentrating are ideal candidates. Those with a history of eyelid drooping need careful assessment of injection placement. A consultation confirms suitability and plan. Explore related injectable options on our injectable fillers page.
Glabella dosing is individualised, commonly around 20 units spread across about 5 points, though your doctor sets the exact amount as shown on our botox injection page. Stronger muscles may need a little more; the goal is balanced softening, not the highest possible dose.
Yes, it pairs well with forehead botox for brow balance, with hyaluronic acid filler for deep static creases, and with energy-based skin tightening for texture. Your doctor sequences these safely in one plan. To understand volume-based options, see our injectable fillers page.
Common effects are brief redness, tiny bruises, or mild tenderness that resolve within days. Less commonly, temporary brow heaviness or, rarely, eyelid drooping can occur, usually settling as the product balances over weeks. Serious reactions are rare with proper technique. Share your full medical history to reduce any risk beforehand.
Botulinum toxin type A has a long, well-documented record for cosmetic use when administered by trained doctors at appropriate doses. Effects are temporary and reversible as the body restores nerve signalling over months. Choosing an experienced clinic and honest dosing matters far more than chasing the strongest possible result for your frown lines.
Aftercare is simple: stay upright for about 4 hours, avoid rubbing or massaging the area between the brows, and skip strenuous exercise, saunas, and alcohol that day. Pairing with a gentle skin care routine supports the skin. Your doctor provides written guidance to follow once you leave.
Glabella botox needs very little time, so even a 1 to 2 day visit works for consultation and treatment. Because there is minimal downtime, you can sightsee the same day. Our English-speaking team helps schedule the appointment so it fits neatly into a short trip to Seoul.
Yes, you can fly the same day, since the treatment is quick and non-invasive. Try to stay upright during the first few hours rather than reclining immediately, and avoid rubbing the area between the brows. Cabin pressure does not affect the result, so air travel after glabella botox is generally not a concern.
International patients can have remote check-ins in English about two weeks after treatment to confirm the result, and plan repeat sessions around future trips. You can also arrange complementary care such as skin care when you return. Your dosing notes are kept on file for consistency between visits.
