Forehead Lines and Wrinkles

What causes forehead lines and wrinkles?

Forehead lines and wrinkles form due to repeated facial expressions, such as raising your eyebrows or frowning. Over time, the skin loses collagen and elasticity, causing these lines to become more pronounced, even when your face is at rest.

How do Botox Cosmetic®, Nuceiva, and Dysport® work to reduce forehead wrinkles?

These neuromodulators temporarily relax the muscles responsible for forehead movement. By limiting excessive motion, the treatment smooths existing lines and prevents new wrinkles from forming, giving the skin a more youthful, refreshed appearance.

How long does the treatment take?

The procedure is quick and minimally invasive, typically taking 10 to 15 minutes with no downtime. You can resume most daily activities immediately after treatment.

When will I see results, and how long do they last?

• Initial results appear within 3 to 5 days.
• Full results develop within 10 to 14 days.
• The effects last 3 to 4 months, depending on your metabolism, lifestyle, and muscle strength.

Will my forehead look frozen or unnatural?

Not at all! An experienced injector will ensure your treatment allows for natural facial expressions while reducing excessive wrinkling. The goal is a smooth, refreshed appearance—not a stiff or frozen look.

Are there any side effects?

Side effects are usually mild and temporary, including:

• Slight redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site (resolves within hours to days)
• Temporary headache in rare cases
• Drooping eyelid or uneven results, which can be avoided with proper injection placement and aftercare

Can Botox, Nuceiva, or Dysport® be combined with other treatments?

Yes! Many patients combine neuromodulators with:

• Dermal fillers to restore volume to other areas of the face
• Skin-tightening treatments to improve overall elasticity
• Medical-grade skincare and facials to enhance results

How many units of Botox, Nuceiva, or Dysport® do I need for my forehead?

The number of units varies based on muscle strength and severity of wrinkles. On average:

• Forehead lines: 10 to 20 units
• Glabellar lines (11s between the eyebrows): 15 to 25 units
  Your injector will customize the dosage to ensure natural, balanced results.

What should I avoid after my treatment?

For 24 hours, avoid:

• Rubbing or touching the treated area
• Strenuous exercise
• Lying down for at least 4 hours
• Excessive heat exposure (saunas, hot showers)
