I am a bald NW6 male 55yrs. When I raise my eyebrows, my bald scalp moves forward and I have wrinkles along the top of my head.

Question

My bald scalp, seems to wrinkle when my frontalis muscles contract (raising my eyebrows). When my forehead is relaxed, my scalp skin and head is smooth with no significant wrinkling. When I raise my eyebrows, my whole scalp moves forward, and causes linear wrinkles along the top of my head. When I lower my eyebrows, my scalp retracts and the wrinkles are no longer present. Is this unusual? Would reducing the range of movement of my forehead / frontalis with Botox help with this?

Hi, this is commonly seen in certain patients. I would suggest Botox to the upper frontalis to soften this appearance. Please consult a medical practitioner for a face to face assessment. Kind regards, Dr Ana. Kat & Co Aesthetics

Hello!!
This is a very common complaint for males! Botox can absolutely soften those stubborn forehead lines that can even appear in the scalp region. Some of our muscles in our scalp can also start to engage and are easily treated with Botox. Just make sure that when you get your treatment that you tell your provider that you want to soften the movement into your scalp as well!

Hello and thank you for your question. Yes I think Botox is a good solution to your issue. The key is to find an experienced injector as this could make or break your results. Best wishes.

From what you described, the wrinkles you notice are caused from muscle activity.  Botox should be an effective treatment as it inhibits the ability of the muscle to contract.  Visit with an experienced injector near you for a consultation.  An assessment will be made to determine if Botox will work best to improve your concerns.

Hi Mr.TJB,

Based from your description, you may may most likely benefit from local area botox injection.
