How do I get rid of forehead wrinkles?

Wrinkles across the forehead are usually a sign that your eyebrows are dropping and you are frequently raising your brows to try to hold your eyelids up. This usually begins sometime in the 30s.

Forehead wrinkle treatment depends on the underlying cause and extent of damage to the skin. Dynamic wrinkles are those that are present only during animation (active movement of the face) and are best treated with Botox.  Botox will temporarily stop the underlying frontalis muscle from pulling on the... more

Getting rid of forehead wrinkles depends on defining the cause of the wrinkles.

Vertical frown lines between the eyebrows, and horizontal ('worry') lines on the forehead can be treated with Botox. Permanent removal of frown muscles (aptly named the 'corrugator' muscles) which create vertical frown lines between the eyebrows can be removed at the time of a browlift. This can be done... more
