Answer: Forehead lines Forehead lines are caused by overactive muscles (corrugators) in the area. Often seen in people who worry or are more expressive. The line can be helped by weakening the muscles (botox, dysport) or by grafting the area with filler (temporary) or using dermis. Excising (cutting out) the depression and reclosing is a more definitive way of treating the area. Hope this helps. Dr. J

Answer: Forehead - line in forehead This is an easy fix with combination therapy of Botox or Dysport to calm the muscles down and a filler product such as Juvederm or Restylane. Be wary of inexperienced providers in this area! There are some very serious issues that can arise from fillers in this region. Look for Board Certified Plastic Surgeons, Facial Plastic Surgeons or Dermatologists with lots of experience using these products. Best Wishes!!

Answer: Botox/Dysport Hi, That line is formed by the frown muscles - the corrugators. These muscles pull the eyebrows together and down causing this vertical line. They are best treated with botox/dysport which relaxes the muscle. In your case, a soft filler may also be necessary to soften that deep crease. Injecting filler in this area takes expert knowledge of anatomy around the eye so I highly recommend seeing a plastic surgeon to address your concerns. All the best, Mehdi Sina, MD
