Frown Line Correction: Curb Your Expression
Frown lines, often referred to as “11 lines,” are the vertical creases that appear between the eyebrows due to repeated muscle movements over time. These lines can give the impression of being tired or upset, even when you’re feeling your best. Fortunately, effective treatments are available to smooth these lines and rejuvenate your appearance.
At Albany Cosmetic and Laser Centre in Edmonton, we specialize in non-surgical solutions to address frown lines, helping you achieve a refreshed and youthful look. Our team of experienced professionals is dedicated to providing personalized care tailored to your unique needs.

Understanding Frown Lines and Treatment Options
Frown lines, also known as “11 lines,” result from repetitive muscle contractions in the glabella region, involving muscles such as the corrugator and procerus. While Botox effectively smooths these lines, other treatments like dermal fillers or laser resurfacing may be recommended for deeper wrinkles. A thorough consultation will help determine the best approach for your skin.
Advanced Techniques for Frown Lines
Combining treatments can enhance results. Botox relaxes the muscles causing dynamic wrinkles, while fillers add volume to deeper lines. Laser resurfacing improves skin texture over time. Our clinic offers state-of-the-art technology and personalized care to ensure the best outcomes for frown line correction. Trust our experienced team to deliver safe and effective treatments tailored to your needs.
