Glabella Filler (Frown Line Area)
Min Skin Clinic — 20+ Years of Expert Injection Safety
Before You Read: A Safety Warning
The glabella area (between the eyebrows) is one of the highest-risk areas for filler injection due to its vascular anatomy connected to the eyes and brain. Filler in this region can lead to serious complications such as vascular occlusion, skin necrosis, or even blindness if performed incorrectly.
โ
At Min Skin Clinic, we do NOT routinely inject fillers in the glabella area.
Instead, we use safer and more effective alternatives to smooth deep frown lines.

When Do We Consider Glabella Filler?
Only in rare, carefully-selected cases where:
- There are deep, static creases not improved with Botox + boosters
- Skin is not too thin or high-risk
- Patient understands the risks and limitations
- Injection is done using strict cannula safety protocol
- Hyaluronidase emergency protocol must be available
Even then, we proceed only with microscopic micro-dosing, prioritizing safety over quick results.
Our Protocol (If Glabella Filler Is Considered)
- Doctor-only consultation & injection
- Vascular safety mapping
- Cannula-based technique preferred
- Micro-droplet conservative dosing
- Compression and perfusion monitoring
- Emergency protocol readiness

FAQs
Is filler safe for the glabella?
It carries one of the highest risks in the face. We avoid it except in rare cases.
Why do some clinics still do it casually?
Because they prioritize quick cosmetic effects over long-term safety. We don’t.
What’s the best treatment for frown lines?
Botox first, then skin boosters for crease repair if needed.
