Botox for Forehead Wrinkles

Wrinkles that appear on the upper face are typically known as dynamic wrinkles. Dynamic lines are those that form when you make certain facial expressions. In the beginning, the line only appears when the expression is made. However, over time the wrinkle can become permanently etched into the face, adding to the aged appearance.

Botox Cosmetic and other neuromodulators like Dysport target the muscle causing the wrinkles, which prevents the overlying movement and allows the line to become smoother and less visible. The treatment doesn’t require any surgery or incisions to the skin.

Botox® is a neuromodulator that works on forehead wrinkles by relaxing the facial muscles that form them. By blocking the interaction between the nerve and muscle, Botox stops the nerve from triggering the muscle to contract. As the muscle activity is reduced, the lines are smoothed away. Botox has been used as a medical treatment since the 1970s, and Botox Cosmetic was introduced in the 1990s as a nonsurgical anti-aging treatment.

Botox Cosmetic for forehead wrinkles includes treatment of the horizontal lines that often appear across the forehead, as well as the vertical creases that tend to form between the eyebrows. These wrinkles are also known as glabellar lines, frown lines, or the 11s. Botox Cosmetic smooths away both types of lines, as well as creases that form in the outer corners of the eyes, known as crow’s feet.

Patients who start Botox Cosmetic at a younger age may be able to postpone the formation of forehead wrinkles. One study that looked at identical twins found that the twin who had regular Botox treatments over a 13-year period actually looked younger than the twin who did not undergo treatments.
