Botox is still the best treatment for forehead wrinkles

Scott Trimas, MD answers: How do I get rid of forehead wrinkles?

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

Despite the many options for treating forehead wrinkles including lifting, laser resurfacing and fillers, the best treatment is still botox.

Any procedure to lift the forehead as in a browlift will invariably lead to a recurrence of the wrinkles over time usually within a period of one or two years. The same holds true for laser resurfacing as the movement will bring back the dynamic lines of the forehead.

Botox injections minimize the movement of the forehead and typically the deeper lines diminish over time. Sometimes the addition of filler such as juvederm or restylane on top of the botox treated areas can prolong the cosmetic effect of the diminished lines.
