Depending on the depth and severity of your wrinkles you have different available options.

Many patients are candidates for simple Botox injections to the forehead, which does a nice job of ridding, or at least softening their wrinkles. Unfortunately, Botox must be regularly administered to maintain your result and to prevent future wrinkles from forming.

When wrinkles become more advanced due to excessive animation or sun exposure, other techniques can be used alone or in combination with Botox.

This could possibly include a surgical forehead lift or laser resurfacing with an ablative laser, such as a CO2 laser or Erbium/YAG laser (Pearl laser).

Your options are best determined by a discussion with your doctor.
