Devil Lines on my Forehead? (photo)

many patients who never have had Botox have these diagonal outer forehead sleep creases. Why you only noticed them after the Botox wore off does not make sense. Regardless, I would not chase these lines with Botox. Belotero filler may help but has to be done conservatively so that at rest the lines don't look elevated. Sleeping on one's back truly helps these lines go away.

Dear hanz1121,


A filler such as Juvederm (along with Botox) would help soften these lines, but may not fully make them go away or resolve

The next step, if there is still a fine line, is to use a mild chemical peel or strong moisturizer, that can resurface that area

If lines of the forehead are accentuated when you move your face, botox will help. If the lines are there independent of motion of the face, fillers work better to correct the area. Sometimes the so called "devil lines" or diagonal lines of the forehead are formed by an area you sleep on. In this case fillers work better to correct the area.
