Can I get filler for deep wrinkles in the forehead? (photos)

Question

I had very deep wrinkles and was wondering to get a smooth effect would filler be required

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Neuromodulators (such as Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, and Jeuveau) and soft tissue fillers like Belotero can improve the appearance of the forehead by reducing lines, wrinkles and folds. Deeper lines and wrinkles need a combination approach with Botox, fillers, lasers, and microneedling/PRP. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist to develop a treatment plan that works for you. Best, Dr. Emer

In my opinion, the best treatment to improve your forehead wrinkles would be Botox.  I do not find that fillers work well for this issue.

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

I would begin by treating with Botox which should smooth them out somewhat.  You can also incorporate Morpheus8 treatments to improve skin tone and texture.  We also recommend using medical grade skin care products and wearing sunscreen every day.

Hi there

You should consider Botox as the filler will become problematic without addressing the muscle movement.  Have a consultation with an expert injector for best results.

Best of luck!

Treatment of deep forehead wrinkles requires several things. First, you need to be on tretinoin (Retin-A) to stimulate collagen production to fill the lines and Obagi's ELASTIderm to stimulate elastic tissue, You did not say how old you are, but our bodies stop making collagen and elastic tissue about 25 years of age and sometimes younger, This thins the skin and makes it wrinkle more. You can also treat the forehead with Botox to reduce the muscle contribution if doing so will not drop your brow. Additionally, Microneedling (or Fraxel laser) can help make new collagen. Since these wrinkles are static (present with no muscle function) you can inject them. If you do, you will want to be on tretinoin so your body will use some of the hyaluronic acid in the filler to make collagen and reduce the need for further injections.
