Frown Lines
Introduction to Treatment Of Frown Lines
Frown lines, also called glabella lines, are the furrows between the eyebrows, generally shaped like the number 11. These lines can cause self-consciousness and lack of self-confidence in both men and women.
These expression lines can be caused by a variety of factors over the years, including sun damage, smoking, and repetitive facial movements.
At PHI Clinic, we have a range of products to address frown lines, including dermal fillers and Botox. For a no obligation consultation with one of our highly trained clinicians, contact us today.

Factors to consider
Repetitive facial expressions – repeatedly frowning causes furrows between the brows, which can deepen over time as skin stops ‘bouncing back’ into place.
UV exposure – frequent exposure to the sun’s damaging rays can destroy collagen and elastin in the skin, two proteins that contribute towards elasticity. This makes skin more likely to sag and form wrinkles.
Smoking – nicotine in cigarettes narrows blood vessels, which in turn deprives the skin of vital nutrients and oxygen. It also damages collagen and elastin fibres in the skin, reducing the ability of the skin to ‘bounce back’ into place after facial expressions.
Ageing – a natural part of ageing is the breakdown of collagen and elastin in the skin, as well as the loss of subcutaneous fat, which gives skin a plump and firm look. As these disappear, skin sags and wrinkles start appearing.
Diet – scientists suggest that eating too much processed sugar can cause increased collagen breakdown, reducing skin’s elasticity.
Who Will Perform My Treatment?
Frown line treatment with Botox is performed by our doctors and injectable nurses at PHI Clinic, who all receive regular training from our medical director, Dr Tapan, in our in house training facility, Academy 102. Dr Tapan is globally recognised as one of the best injectors in the world, and teaches across the world, as well as visiting other exemplary professionals to learn new techniques for more effective results with Botox.
Sam and Sarah are well versed in the core values we hold at PHI of excellence without compromise, so you can rest assured that any treatment with them will be performed at the same level as our doctors. After every treatment, we ask that patients attend a follow up consultation at 4 to 6 weeks to assess your outcomes. This provides an opportunity for you to discuss any concerns you may have and have reference photos taken, as well as allowing your clinician to add any more product if necessary.
Our Nurses Treating Our Dr Tapan
Dr Tapan’s techniques are then passed along to our clinicians, including our Botox nurses, Sam and Sarah, who receive personal mentoring from the doctor, and perform his personal botox treatments. Please see a selection of photographs showcasing our Botox nurses performing a treatment on our medical director, Dr Tapan Patel.
