Glabella Point Press

Sit tall. Soften the jaw and drop the shoulders. Place the pad of one index finger lightly on the glabella — match the cover: horizontal contact between and just above the brows. Pressure about 1–2/10. Close the eyes if it helps you soften. Hold four seconds while you intend the “11” zone to quiet, not dig into bone. Release two seconds. Switch hands halfway through eight holds if one shoulder hikes. Never press so hard the skin blanches or the eyes water.

• Primary — Soft awareness over procerus and corrugator territory at the glabella: light index feedback cues quieting, not a frown recruit.
• Neighbors — Frontalis stays soft; this is not a brow raise.
• Sensory cue — Horizontal index pad on the brow midline like the cover; a hard white mark means too much force.
• Hand cue — One index pad; other fingers curled. Switch hands if the shoulder hikes.
• Contrast — Gather & Release actively knits then opens the brows; Center Pad Press uses bilateral three-finger pads higher on the forehead; Brow-Pinch grips folds above the brows.
• Keep quiet — Masseter clench and shoulder hike. Closed calm eyes are the standard.

Head stacked, shoulders down. Find the soft center between the brows before any press — match the cover’s single index landmark.

Inhale as the index pad settles. Exhale during the four-second quiet hold. Keep the jaw unlocked — no teeth clench.

• Optional mirror for first placements
• Clean hands

1. Place one index pad lightly on the glabella — match the cover.
2. Keep pressure about 1–2/10 and the jaw soft.
3. Hold four seconds with a quieting intent, then release two seconds.
4. Complete eight holds; switch hands halfway if needed.

• Pressing too high on the forehead midline instead of the glabella
• Knitting the brows hard “to feel the work”
• Opening the eyes into a hard stare
• Forcing pressure past comfort

• Beginner: 5 holds of 3 seconds, almost hovering
• Standard: 8 holds of 4 seconds as coached
• Hand switch: four holds each hand
• Cool-down: palms hovering over closed eyes for warmth, no press

• Remove the finger; soften the brows for three breaths
• Optional light outward stroke above each brow — no scrape
• Thin moisturizer if the skin feels dry
• Do not stack another aggressive frown drill next

• Quiets tension held in the brow midline
• Gives a simple one-finger landmark beginners can trust
• Pairs well with screen-break resets
• Helps interrupt a hard frown-rub habit

• People who hold a frown habit at the brow midline
• Beginners who want a clear one-finger landmark
• Anyone pairing screen breaks with a short “11” reset
• Men and women — brow shape varies; the glabella cue stays

• Active rash or broken skin on the glabella
• Early days after glabella filler or neuromodulator until cleared
• Severe migraine with touch sensitivity that worsens with pressure
• Anyone advised against periocular or brow pressure

• Digging into bone until the area aches
• Actively frowning while pressing (wrong direction)
• Turning the set into a hard scrape massage
• Only ever using one hand and hiking that shoulder forever

• Morning after sleep frowning or screen prep
• Evening after focus work when the brow midline feels tight
• Before a broader forehead set as a quiet landmark
• Skip on broken skin or fresh glabella filler until cleared

• During active dermatitis or sunburn between the brows
• Right after aggressive peels or injections in the “11” zone
• When the area is bruised or freshly treated
