People always say I look angry or worried because I have wrinkles on my forehead. Which wrinkle treatments will get rid of forehead lines?

To Marian,

1) Typically, both the horizontal forehead lines and the vertical frown lines between the eyebrows need to be treated with Botox.  You will need between 30 and 50 units, and injection technique is very important.  You see the full effect in 2 weeks, and patients usually get Botox twice a year.

2)  As mentioned by other doctors, if you have deep, etched lines, you may also need fillers (Restylane), laser resurfacing, or a forehead lift

Creams don't help.  Start with Botox.  You will probably be happy!

Wrinkles of the forehead may be treated adequately with Botox.  If you have significant brow ptosis or thickened heavy folds, a brow lift would be beneficial.
