get startedFrown lines are the vertical furrows that form between the eyebrows, in the area known as the glabella. They're called the "11s" because the two parallel lines resemble the number 11. They range from fine surface lines to deep, etched creases depending on muscle activity, skin quality, and age.
There are two types: dynamic frown lines, which appear only with facial movement, and static frown lines, visible even at rest. Most patients present with a combination of both.
Most patients come in because their frown lines make them look angry, tense, or more tired than they actually feel. Even in a completely relaxed face, deep glabellar lines can read as an emotion you're not having. For most people, this treatment isn't really about vanity. It's about alignment between how you feel and how you look.
Frown lines form through repeated contraction of the corrugator supercilii and procerus muscles. These are the muscles that pull the brows together when you concentrate, squint, or express frustration. Over time, that repetitive movement breaks down the collagen and elastin in the overlying skin, turning temporary lines into permanent creases.
Other contributing factors:
Patients with frown lines typically notice one or more of the following:
In your 20s and early 30s, frown lines are typically dynamic. They appear with movement and disappear at rest. As skin loses collagen and elastin with age, those lines begin to etch in and become static, visible without any facial expression at all.
The underlying muscles also strengthen with decades of use, deepening the creases over time. Without intervention, static frown lines become more pronounced and harder to fully smooth.
This is why many patients benefit from starting early. Consistent wrinkle relaxer treatments can retrain the muscle over time, helping prevent deep static lines from forming in the first place.
Frown lines are among the most well-studied and consistently treatable cosmetic concerns available.
At CAMI, the goal is a result that looks refreshed and natural. Never frozen.
Our providers assess both the dynamic movement patterns and the static skin quality before recommending a treatment plan. For most patients, a precise dose of wrinkle relaxer placed in the corrugator and procerus muscles produces a softened result that still allows for natural expressiveness. We never over-treat. A slightly lifted, open brow is the target, not immobility.
For patients with residual static lines after the muscle is relaxed, we may layer in a touch of filler to address the crease directly. Every plan is customized to your anatomy, your movement patterns, and what result feels right for you.
Care guided by experience, precision, and a deep understanding of natural beauty.

I have been coming to CAMI for 5 to 6 years now and their service is bar none! I’m always exceptionally pleased with my results, as I rotate Botox and Xenomin. The staff are very friendly and I always make me feel right at home!
I can’t say enough about the entire team at CAMI and overall experience as a new patient. My concerns were addressed and at no point did I feel rushed or pressured to make a decision. Katie and the entire staff put me at ease. My results are amazing and have made me feel so much more confident. Thank you CAMI! Highly recommend!

Ashley at CAMI has been amazing. She made me feel comfortable before, during and after my treatments and helped me feel more confident in my appearance
I saw Madison for my Botox appointment and she was the best! She listened to my concerns and I’m very pleased with the results. She also recommended some great skincare products! Can’t recommend this office enough!
I had a wonderful experience with Madison Mikolajczyk,. From the very beginning, she explained everything about my face in detail and with such professionalism that I immediately felt comfortable. I truly appreciated her honesty in telling me exactly what I needed and what would work best for my features. She performed my filler injections using the cannula method and normal injections which left me with beautiful, natural-looking results—and no bruising at all. No one can do that using that method with no bruising. The entire process was completely painless, as she took her time and worked so gently.I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. My results are subtle, natural, and exactly what I hoped for. I’m truly in love with the way my face looks now and would highly recommend her to anyone seeking safe, professional, and natural enhancements. I did Sculptra, Botox and Radiesse filler looking forward for more.
I’ve had nothing but a great experience at CAMI! Ashley is amazing at what she does, as someone who has never gotten any kind of injections before, she was very knowledgeable explaining everything to you beforehand, and will make you feel as comfortable and confident as possible!
I have been very happy with my services over the past few months. Meredith is so sweet and always makes my time there very comfortable. She is patient with me and never pushes me into anything I’m not comfortable with regarding my skin.
I love visiting the CAMI location in Huntersville! They treat everyone special and I left feeling refreshed and uplifted. It was my first time meeting Katie, and she was spectacular! She spent time addressing my needs and concerns and I will definitely request an appointment with Katie again. Thank you CAMI!!
Very personable fun atmosphere and relaxing. Normally I go to California for my facials but I feel very good going to CAMI in Huntersville for my beauty needs.
Easy to schedule consult and treatments! Wonderful welcoming staff at CAMI who make you feel relaxed and excited to be there. Will continue to choose CAMI for all cosmetic needs and recommend to everyone!
This is a great place to come for any facial treatments, fillers, etc. The staff is excellent and I felt totally pampered.
The team is awesome. The staff takes great care of me. I would highly recommend CAMI.
The team was amazing. This was my 1st time getting Botox. They were very thorough and informative. They made the experience easy.
Their team is highly skilled and very good at what they do. I have never had any type of facial treatments before and decided it was time for a little pick-me-up. They took the time to listen to my concerns and recommended the procedure that was best suited for the outcome I was wanting.
Ashley is fantastic! Professional, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. She’s my go-to for all my skincare maintenance needs. I always leave feeling confident and refreshed!

I was honestly skeptical about trying CAMI since I hadn’t had the best experiences with Botox and other treatments elsewhere. But choosing CAMI turned out to be one of the best decisions I’ve made. Madison, in particular, is the best nurse and injector I’ve ever worked with—she’s honest, genuinely cares about your results, and makes you feel like her top priority. While the treatments are an investment, as we age a little extra care and attention truly go a long way.
I Love CAMI, and all there staff! Katie Wilson is the absolute Beauty Making Queen!!! 👑 She is very particular when she was doing what I asked of and the results are perfection. I have recommended CAMI to multiple people and they are just as please. Thank you CAMI
I’m so glad I gave this med spa another chance. Everything feels completely different now in the best way. I had a hydrafacial and hydr with Meredith and noticed an immediate improvement in my skin. I went back and purchased a microneedling package, and the results have been good so far. Meredith truly made my experience there so much better. She made me feel comfortable, welcomed, and kept me laughing the entire time. She is also very honest, which I really appreciate. I’ve finally found my person, and I won’t let anyone else touch my face. Highly recommend!
