Forehead wrinkles are the horizontal and diagonal lines that develop on your forehead (the area above your eyebrows).

Forehead wrinkles develop over time and have two main causes:

• Repetitive lifting of your eyebrows which bunches your forehead skin.
• Sleeping on your side or stomach bunches the skin in the diagonal direction.

Smoking and sun exposure accelerate the development of forehead lines.

As we age, the forehead also loses bone and fat volume. This loss of volume leaves the overlying skin unsupported, and more prone to developing deeper forehead lines.

Sagging upper eyelids can also result in forehead lines. This is because you need to raise your eyebrows to lift the excess skin, resulting in deep forehead lines.

We primarily treat forehead lines with anti-wrinkle injections. These relax your frontalis forehead muscle, reducing skin bunching and creasing.

For deeper forehead wrinkles, diagonal sleep lines and age-related bone and fat volume loss, forehead fillers and wrinkle fillers may be used for a better result.

If your forehead wrinkles are due to saggy upper eyelids, you will need to consider upper eyelid surgery.

Many people can benefit from forehead anti-wrinkle injections. Those who can benefit from forehead anti-wrinkle treatment include:

• People in their 20’s and 30’s who want to prevent the development of forehead wrinkles
• Those bothered by makeup creasing on the forehead
• If you are bothered by the appearance of your horizontal forehead wrinkles

If you have deeper, more etched-in forehead wrinkles, you may need a few treatments with anti-wrinkle injections to see the best result. Stubborn forehead wrinkles may need  a combination of forehead anti-wrinkle injections, forehead filler, and wrinkle filler.

Combining forehead anti-wrinkle injections with dermal filler for forehead wrinkles is a great option for people who have deeper, more etched-in forehead lines.

Diagonal sleep lines on the forehead cannot be improved with forehead anti-wrinkle injections. This is because forehead sleep lines are not caused by skin bunching with repetitive muscle movement.

We use wrinkle filler injections are the ideal treatment option for diagonal forehead wrinkles.

Forehead anti-wrinkle injections are a simple treatment.

After your comprehensive consultation, we clean and mark your forehead.

Using tiny needles, we precisely place anti-wrinkle injections to your forehead wrinkles.

Forehead anti-wrinkle injections generally take 5 minutes to complete.

Forehead anti-wrinkle injections have a slight pinch, lasting less than 1 second. We offer a number of strong numbing options if you are concerned about pain.

Most people will generally have 5-10 injections of anti-wrinkle across their forehead. Those with larger foreheads need more injections.

Forehead anti-wrinkle injections start working in 3-4 days. The full effect is seen 14 days after your treatment.

Forehead anti-wrinkle injections last 3-4 months on average.

You can increase the longevity by having a higher amount of anti-wrinkle product, and by having consistent maintenance treatments.

If you have a conservative or moderate amount of anti-wrinkle product to your forehead wrinkles, you will still be able to move and make facial expressions.

The stronger the treatment, the less movement you will have. People may request stronger treatments because the result is more pronounced, and lasts longer.

To achieve the best result from forehead anti-wrinkle injections, combine your treatment with anti-wrinkle injections to your frown lines, crow’s feet, and bunny lines. This ensures an even result.

Use sunscreen daily, and invest in good skin care and dermal therapy for superior results.

Over-treating forehead lines is often associated with looking frozen and expressionless. We can avoid this by using a conservative amount of anti-wrinkle product.

Conservative amounts of anti-wrinkle product do not last as long as more aggressive doses.

We can avoid heavy eyebrows after forehead anti-wrinkle injections in 2 ways:

• Using a conservative amount of anti-wrinkle product on your forehead lines to preserve muscle movement
• Treating the frown line and crow’s feet at the same time as your forehead. This reduces the down pulling forces on your eyebrows.

Prepare for your forehead anti-wrinkle injections with these steps:

• Cease all supplements 1 week before your treatment (unless taking for medical reasona)
• Avoid excessive alcohol for 24 hours before your treatment
• Attend your appointment without makeup

After your forehead anti-wrinkle injections, there will be small bumps and slight redness around the injection sites. This settles within 60 minutes.

You’ll notice your lines start to soften in 3-4 days, with the final result seen in 2 weeks.

Your result will then gradually wear off over 3-5 months.

Forehead anti-wrinkle injections are a safe treatment.

Visiting an experienced, doctor-led clinic is the best way to ensure that your treatment is performed as safely as possible.

Side effects from forehead anti-wrinkle injections are rare. They include:

• Temporary headaches
• Eyebrow heaviness
• Eyebrow spocking (where the outer eyebrow lifts up)
• Eyelid ptosis

We minimise the risks of forehead anti-wrinkle injections by designing your treatment after a careful assessment, and by being conservative.

Heavy eyebrows after forehead anti-wrinkle injections occurs when too much product has been injected. The risk is also higher if you’ve only had your forehead treatment without addressing your crow’s feet lines and frown lines.

Avoiding heavy eyebrows is easy with a carefully designed treatment plan.

The following groups of people are not suitable for forehead anti-wrinkle injections:

• Aged under 18
• Currently pregnant or breastfeeding
• Those with unrealistic expectations about what can be achieved with forehead anti-wrinkle injections
• People with sagging eyebrows and sagging upper eyelid skin (as forehead anti-wrinkle injections may worsen this)
