Juvederm for forehead lines. Is it risky?

Question

I know juvederm is used for the marionette lines, and botox for the forehead. I am not a fan of botox and was wondering if you could use just the juverderm for forehead lines.. Is it risky?

Alexander Donath, MD, FACS · Answer

I do not recommend using Juvederm for forehead lines but if it is done, the doctor needs to be very conservative as it can swell more than expected and leave fullness that is unsightly. Hope that helps and best wishes, Dr. Donath

Thank you for your question. Juvederm can be used to treat forehead wrinkles, especially to smooth out superficial lines. There are always some risks involved when making an injection into the skin, but these are rare and are greatly reduced when a skilled injector is performing the procedure.

Thank you for your question. It is difficult to give you advice without examining you in person. However, a good filler for filling in superficial lines on the forehead is Volbella. It will not cause a change in movement. I recommend having a consultation with an expert injector to determine the best treatment plan for you. Best of Luck!

Hardik Doshi, MD, FACS · Answer

For forehead lines, I often recommend the "relax and refill" technique. You first want to relax the muscle so that the pull on the skin is diminished leading to less wrinkling. Once the muscle is relaxed, any residual forehead wrinkling can be filled. I have used Belotero, Restylane Refyne, and Juvederm Volbella with great results in eliminating forehead wrinkles. Discussing your options with an experienced aesthetic injector is recommended. All the best!

A thin-viscosity filler such as Volbella® is ideal for filling superficial lines on the forehead. It will cause no change in movement. As this is an advanced injection technique, please consult a board certified aesthetic dermatologist for a consultation.

It is difficult to answer your question without seeing you in person or at least through a good set of photographs. Fine lines usually do better with the use of Botox Heavier frown lines or horizontal lines of the forehead can be treated by both, Botox and Juvederm. Good luck from New York City
