Erase the Lines. Maintain Your Natural Expression.

Do you cringe when you see the vertical frown lines between your brows (“11 lines” or glabellar lines)? Maybe every time you lift your eyebrows, those lines deepen. Over time, repeated muscle movement, decreased skin elasticity, and volume loss cause them to become visible even at rest.

You don’t need surgery, expensive lasers, or long recovery to reduce them. At Z Center for Cosmetic Health, we offer multiple proven treatments to smooth, soften, and prevent glabellar lines — tailored just for you, the under expert care of Dr. Michael Zadeh.

What are Glabellar Lines and What Causes Them?

Glabellar lines—commonly known as “frown lines” or “11 lines”—are vertical wrinkles that form between the eyebrows. These dynamic wrinkles are caused by repetitive facial movements like frowning or concentrating, and they deepen over time as skin loses elasticity.

Understanding this helps you—and us—choose the right treatment: one that not only addresses existing lines but prevents new ones from forming.

Dysport

Dysport is an injectable treatment made from botulinum toxin that relaxes the muscles responsible for creating glabellar lines—primarily the procerus and corrugator supercilii muscles. By temporarily relaxing these muscles, Dysport helps prevent the formation of new lines and softens the appearance of existing ones. It’s a quick, 10-minute treatment with no downtime. Results begin to appear in 2 days and reach full effect in about 2 weeks, lasting approximately 3 to 4 months.

Botox

Botox Cosmetic is another injectable botulinum toxin treatment that works similarly to Dysport. It relaxes the muscles that cause glabellar lines, preventing them from deepening and reducing their appearance. Like Dysport, Botox is quick and requires no downtime, with results typically appearing within 3 to 7 days and lasting about 3 to 4 months. The choice between Botox and Dysport often comes down to individual response, and during your consultation, Dr. Zadeh will recommend the best option for your needs.

Fillers

Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers such as Juvederm and Restylane add volume to the skin, making it ideal for filling deeper or more stubborn glabellar lines that aren't fully smoothed by Botox or Dysport alone. While fillers do not prevent muscle movement, they can significantly improve the appearance of static lines by restoring lost volume. It’s a quick procedure with immediate results that last between 6 to 12 months. Because the glabellar area contains sensitive nerves and arteries, it’s crucial that this treatment is performed by an experienced injector. Dr. Zadeh’s deep knowledge of facial anatomy ensures both safety and natural-looking results.

Combined & Preventative Approaches

Sometimes, one treatment isn’t enough to give you the best, most natural outcome. Here’s how we combine treatments or use them preventatively:

Use Botox or Dysport first to relax the muscles, THEN consider filler for deeper lines
Start with low doses early on to prevent lines from getting severe
Pair with skin health boosters: collagen-stimulating treatments (e.g. Genius RF, microneedling), good skincare, sun protection
Maintain regular follow-ups — touch-ups help sustain results

Why Dr. Zadeh Stands Apart

Board-certified precision & experience — dozens of years and many thousands of treatments performed.

Trusted local reputation — people from Sherman Oaks, Studio City, Encino and wider Los Angeles stop in because of our proven results and patient focus.
Ongoing support — follow-ups, adjustments, patient education, aftercare; we’re with you every step.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long will results last?
Typically 3-4 months for injectables like Botox/Dysport; fillers may last 6-12 months depending on depth and area.

Which treatment is best for me?
We’ll decide based on how dynamic your lines are (do they show only with expression or at rest?), your skin thickness, your desired results, and your tolerance for downtime or cost.

Will I look unnatural or “frozen”?
No—we use conservative dosing and tailor to preserve natural facial movement. Our goal is a refreshed appearance, not overcorrection.

Is there pain or discomfort?
Mostly mild: tiny pinches or stinging with injections; topical numbing if needed. Afterward, minor redness or swelling may occur but typically resolves quickly.

Are there risks?
Yes, but serious ones are rare when treated by a skilled provider. Possible side effects include bruising, temporary asymmetry, or mild swelling. We manage risks by mapping anatomy and using safe techniques.
