Experiencing forehead volume loss can have a profound impact on your overall appearance. Whether through genetics or ageing, a lack of structure in the upper region of your face can cause various cosmetic concerns, including hollowness, shadows, asymmetry, an unbalanced profile, prominent brow ridge, and deep forehead creases.
Regardless of the cause or severity of your forehead volume loss, dermal fillers are a popular treatment option. Renowned for their benefits, they offer a convenient, effective and flexible treatment option to treat signs of ageing loss hollowness, deep lines and heaviness, and improve the balance of your profile.
Here, we cover the most important things to know about forehead dermal fillers.
How do dermal fillers in the forehead work?
The forehead is one of the most under-rated areas to treat, often owing to the complex nature of the procedure. When performed by a qualified and experienced cosmetic doctor, forehead fillers are a simple treatment.
Some people find that the shape of their forehead looks irregular and hollow. Others notice that with age their forehead starts to appear gaunt and recessed. In either case, we can use dermal filler to reduce forehead hollows. This gives your forehead a soft, pleasing contour to improve your overall facial balance and shape.
Dermal fillers are a gel used to restore volume lost with ageing, or to enhance areas of the face that naturally lack structure.
We place dermal fillers into the forehead using a small blunt-tipped cannula. This ensures the treatment is safe and precise. Before inserting the cannula, we numb the area with strong local anaesthetic. The filler is then placed underneath the forehead frontalis muscle.
After injection, we mould the dermal filler smooth to ensure an even result. You’ll notice that the shape of your forehead is more contoured, and any hollows and shadows that were of concern will be much less visible, if not completely gone.
Forehead dermal fillers can also reduce wrinkles by supporting the skin, and soften a prominent brow ridge.
