Based on these photos it appears that Botox should be the only treatment for your forehead wrinkles for next few years. Good luck.

I have been injecting Botox, a neuromodulator, for precisely this purpose since 1991. Treating these expression-related "frown lines" (aka "scowl lines") was in fact the very first aesthetic purpose for which Botox was used over thirty-five years ago. So, the short answer to your question is, "Yes, Botox is appropriate," and to make sure that you consult with an experienced, board certified cosmetic dermatologist filler injection expert  Best of luck.

Yes—Botox is usually the right first step, especially since your lines are showing with expression (not fully etched at rest yet).

What I tell my patients:

Botox will relax the muscle, preventing lines from deepening
If lines are already faintly visible at rest, you may also benefit from:
light resurfacing (laser or peel)
good skincare (retinoids + sunscreen)

Given your stress and frequent expressions, Botox can make a big difference quickly.

Botox will help, but probably won’t fully erase them.

If the lines are starting to show at rest, Botox softens movement but doesn’t smooth the skin itself. That’s where something light like Clear + Brilliant or Fraxel can help.

An in-person eval is the best way to figure out what treatment plan would be best.
