🌸 Quick answer
What does frown lines Botox do? Frown lines Botox relaxes the corrugator and procerus muscles that draw the eyebrows inward and down, which creates the vertical '11' lines between them. Softening that movement smooths the lines and helps keep deeper furrows from forming, so a tense or stern look eases into a calmer, more rested one. The treatment takes minutes, results appear within a few days to two weeks and last about 3–4 months.
What is frown lines Botox?
