Frown Line (Glabella) Filler in Myeongdong, Seoul
When the ‘11 lines’ stay visible even after Botox has relaxed the muscle, a micro-amount of soft filler can lift the remaining crease. It is a delicate area, treated with extra care.
Quick answer
Glabella filler places a micro-volume of very soft hyaluronic acid, often 0.1–0.3 ml, superficially into a deep frown line that remains at rest. It is used after frown line Botox has relaxed the muscle, because Botox treats the cause and filler only the leftover crease. The glabella is one of the higher-risk areas for blocked blood flow, so small amounts and careful technique are essential. Results last about 6–12 months.
Botox or filler for frown lines?
Frown lines that appear only when you frown are dynamic and respond to Botox alone. Lines that stay etched at rest are static; Botox stops them deepening, but the crease can remain. A micro-amount of filler, or a skin booster over time, lifts that leftover groove.
Who is it for?
- Deep ‘11 lines’ that remain at rest after Botox has taken effect.
- Not as a substitute for Botox when the lines are mainly from movement.
- Not with skin infection or recent filler in the same area.
How Obliv plans glabella filler
We usually treat with Botox first and review at two weeks. If a crease remains, your doctor uses a very soft filler in micro-amounts, superficially, with slow pressure, while watching the skin colour, and keeps hyaluronidase ready.
| Typical volume | Often 0.1–0.3 ml |
|---|---|
