Should I be concerned about this vertical groove in my forehead? How to get rid of it? (Photo)

Thank you for your question and photo. If the vertical groove you’re referring to is caused by muscle activity, Botox can be administered to relax the associated muscle and reduce the appearance of the indention. Otherwise, dermal filler can be meticulously injected to restore volume and smooth the forehead line. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced expert injector. They will be able to assess your concern and help you decide on the best course of action.

Hello and thank you for your question. A face to face consult and examination is always best however in this scenario you could consider filler if it bothers you but you would need to make sure- on examination - that the groove is not a vein which can be common in this area. Please always seek treatment from a trained medical professional for any cosmetic treatment. Best wishes

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
