Fine lines on my forehead. How to fix?

You can opt for Botox to try and stop this portion of the muscle to smooth out those wrinkles. However, you need to go to someone versed in Botox injections so that your brow does not drop.

Thank you for your question.Forehead lines like yours often appear long before we are expecting them. They are known as dynamic wrinkles because they first form as a result of making certain facial expressions like squinting or frowning. Over time, the lines can become more permanently etched in the skin. Getting an early start with Botox is an excellent way to diminish the lines now and prevent them from worsening in the future. Botox works by relaxing the facial muscles that cause the lines to form, smoothing away the early wrinkles in the process. Always work with a board-certified dermatologist with extensive training and experience in neuromodulators like Botox to ensure the best possible outcome.

Thank you for your question and photo. These lines typically form as a result of certain facial expressions, such as squinting or frowning. In the beginning, you probably only notice the lines when you make the expression. However, the lines can become more permanently etched in the skin over time. You are at the point now when a neuromodulator like Botox can be very beneficial. These injectable treatments work by relaxing facial muscles that play a role in forming the lines. The results appear within 2 weeks and can last for 3-6 months. In addition to reducing the wrinkles now, regular Botox injections can keep those lines from getting deeper over time. This treatment should only be administered by an experienced, board-certified physician with ample training in Botox techniques.

Thank you for your question. Neuromodulators like Botox are designed to work on dynamic wrinkles - the lines that form when you make certain facial expressions. These lines often form in the forehead and around the eyes and can appear long before you expect them. In your case, Botox would be a very good choice for those early lines. In addition to smoothing them away, the treatments will likely prevent them from getting deeper for some time. Botox injections are quick and relatively painless. Results become fully evident within two weeks and last for three to four months for most patients. Make sure the doctor you choose is board certified and an expert injector so you achieve the best possible results. 

Neuromodulators like Botox are a very good choice for smoothing away these lines that develop as a result of making certain facial expressions. Botox works by relaxing the muscles that lead to the formation of the lines. Getting Botox early can not only help to smooth the lines now; it can also ward off additional lines in the future. Make sure you work with an experienced, board-certified dermatologist and I think you will be very happy with your results. 

Thank you for your question!  You can soften fine lines and wrinkles and prevent them from getting deeper over time with Botox, Dysport, Xeomin or Jeuveau.  Results are seen in 2 weeks and typically last 3-4 months.

Hi,Thank you for your question and sharing your photo.The fine lines that you are referring to can be softened with Botox or Dysport. This will also prevent the lines from deepening over time (preventative treatment). A less invasive option would be chemical peels but may require multiple treatments to see a very noticeable result.Hope this helps!

A combination approach would give the most improvement. Movement lines and superficial wrinkles improve best with botox, dysport or xeomin.  Fine wrinkles need lasers like clear and brilliant, fraxel or erbium or co2; radiofrequency like venus viva or intensife microneedling RF; microneedling with PRP and stem cells; aquagold treatment; or soft fillers like belotero, restylane silk or refyne, revanesse versa, or juvederm volbella.  Deep wrinkles can be improved with a combination of Botox and/or fillers for the lines themselves and to build anatomical support with Sculptra for collagen building.  Agressive deep peeling like phenol/TCA and J plasma can be used for deeper scarring or wrinkles.  Ultherapy is great for lifting of this are and thermage is great for tightening and improving overall texture.  Montly facialis like silk peel, dermalinfusion, salt facial, and microneedling with retinol masks can really help fine wrinkles and pore size. You really need a combinaation apporach and proper daily skin care and sun protection for the best results.  at home dermarolling will also help and i suggest seeing emeragecosmetics.com link for free skincare consults as well as reve skin retinol, cosmelan 2, and enlighten peels can be combined to help. Please consult with an expert.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Dear mo2016, Thank you for your question. You are a great candidate for Botox for the fine lines on your forehead. It is also a preventative measure. Best of luck to you. 

Hello, thank you for your question. Yes it is most certainly possible to use Botox for forehead wrinkles. This all depends on the practitioner’s ability to pinpoint very specific injection sites in order to accomplish this.
