Fine lines between or above your brows are called eyebrow wrinkles. Many of us often refer to these vertical lines between brows or above as frown lines. Clinically, they are termed glabellar lines. Scientifically as the name suggests, the space between two eyebrows is called the glabella. So, the fine lines cropping up due to aging are termed glabellar lines.

The location of eyebrow wrinkles is as follows- 

• Between two brows - glabella.
• Located at the forehead.
