all about frown lines in amsterdam
Frown lines are the vertical creases between your eyebrows. Sometimes called ‘11 lines’, they can make you look cross, tired or deep in thought, even when you’re feeling perfectly content. They form as the small muscles between your brows repeatedly contract. You use these muscles when you frown, squint in bright light or concentrate on something. You might first notice the lines only when you make those expressions. Over time, the creases can become more defined and stay visible even when your face is at rest.
If you’d like to soften your frown lines, we’ll look at how your brows move and how visible the lines are when your face is relaxed. That helps us tailor a treatment to you, with the aim of giving the area between your brows a softer, more relaxed look while keeping your natural expression. Book a complimentary consultation at UMA Clinic to explore your treatment options for frown lines.
curious what we can do for you?

what are frown lines?
Every time you frown or concentrate, the skin between your eyebrows folds. Over the years, as collagen levels drop, those lines start to stay visible even when your face is at rest. Left untreated, they can quickly settle into deeper, permanent creases.
causes and risk factors
- repeated frowning due to bright light, concentration or stress
- natural skin ageing and collagen loss
- smoking and sun damage, which speed up the breakdown of elastin
- genetic predisposition: some people have stronger frown muscles
symptoms of frown lines
- vertical lines between the eyebrows
- shadows that create an angry or tired look
- make-up or foundation settling into the lines
who is a frown line treatment suitable for?
Tired of looking stern or worn out when you’re not? Frown line treatment is for anyone who feels the lines between their eyebrows are sending the wrong message. Whether you’re noticing the first fine lines or dealing with deeper wrinkles, both can be treated. During a complimentary consultation, we’ll find the approach that suits you best.
treatment methods at uma clinic
botox
Botulinum toxin temporarily relaxes the muscles responsible for frown lines. With those muscles at rest, your skin gets the chance to recover, so existing lines gradually fade. The result? A softer, more relaxed and approachable look.
skin boosters or hyaluronic acid filler
When frown lines are deeply etched, a filler or skin booster can be used after your botox treatment to restore lost volume. This gently fills the crease, leaving your skin smoother and more even.
microneedling
Microneedling stimulates your skin’s own collagen and elastin production, helping to refine skin texture. Combined with botox, it helps the skin around the frown lines look firmer and more even.
skincare
A little daily care goes a long way. A skincare routine with retinol and antioxidants protects your collagen, encourages cell renewal and helps prevent new lines from forming or existing ones from deepening.
results you can expect
- within five days of botox, the frown relaxes; after 2 weeks the lines are visibly softer.
- for deep creases, a filler smooths out the indentation so make-up sits better.
- your expressions stay natural, just without the constant angry look.
before and aftercare for frown lines
- do not lie down or rub the area for four hours; no sport or sauna for 24 hours.
- keep your skin hydrated and use SPF daily.
- schedule a repeat treatment every 3 to 4 months for lasting results.
