I have this huge line down the middle of my forehead that I've started to notice during the last year or so. I feel like it looks like I have roid rage. It seems unusual - will it go away with Botox or is it something else?
Answer: Forehead Lines / Wrinkles -- Neuromodulators (Botox/Dysport/Xeomin/Jeuveau), Fillers (Belotero) + Lasers/Microneedling/PRP 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

Answer: Line down the forehead: What can it be? Hello, and thank you for your question. The line you are referring to may be a vein, which unfortunately, can’t be treated with Botox. However, a face-to-face evaluation is best in order to assess it and determine the best treatment for it. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with a reputable board-certified facial plastic surgeon. Your surgeon can do a proper evaluation, recommend the best course of action, and ensure the best possible results.

Answer: Forehead line From your photo it appears the vertical line that concerns you may be a vein, and not a typical forehead wrinkle. If this is the case, Botox for this area will not improve it.

Answer: Huge vertical line down forehead - will it go away with Botox or is it something else? Hello @PowerPuffy Botox is ideal to prevent and control expression lines and the vertical line you see in the forehead is probably a vein. Botulinum toxin is a substance that allow us to block the union that occurs between the nerve and the muscle so that the contraction of the muscle does not occurs, the botulinum toxin settles in that sector and does not allow the muscle contraction to continue, so the expression line or wrinkle does not form. I hope this shed some light! Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD FACS

Answer: Supratrochlear vein Hi PowerPuffy, The supratrochlear vein enters the subcutaneous space from the area deep to the medial eyebrow, and runs vertically above the frontalis/forehead muscle toward the hairline. This is probably a prominent supratrochlear vein in the subcutaneous tissue, and Botox would not impact it. Hope this helps.
