What treatments are there for forehead wrinkles?

Forehead wrinkles can be treated conservatively with Botox injections. Botox temporarily immobilizes the frontalis muscle which raises the eyebrows and creates horizontal forehead creases.

For patients seeking a long term solution there is forehead lift surgery. The frontalis muscle is surgically altered to soften facial expression and reduce the severity of furrows.
