Forehead Lines

Forehead lines also known as worry lines, as we grow older. Similar to frown lines, the repeated contraction of facial muscles will form deep skin wrinkles. The more you use your facial muscles, the deeper your wrinkle furrows will become. This facial wrinkles are known as dynamic lines.

From Facial Expressions to Deep Wrinkles

Dynamic wrinkles are only present with facial expressions and can be easily reversed by neurotoxin injection. As your overlying skin becomes damaged and these muscles get stronger, your wrinkles will mature into static skin creases, which are permanently present. It is impossible to smooth out permanent wrinkles with only neurotoxin injection. This is because dermal fillers are necessary to plump up creases with fat loss. It is therefore not a good idea to wait until lines become fixed into the skin, as it is much more difficult to rectify.

Treating Forehead Lines with Neurotoxin

Neurotoxin injection is a muscle relaxant that reduces the activity of muscles. When selectively injected into these muscles, the wrinkles disappear. This effect is temporary and will last for about 4 to 6 months. With regular use of neurotoxin injection, these lines can often be completely erased. The correct dosage and placement of neurotoxin injection is important, to ensure your face remains capable of expression. The results of this procedure eliminate the wrinkles, leaving your face looking fresher and younger.

Areas that can be treated with neurotoxin injections are:

  • The frown lines between the brows.
  • Horizontal expression lines of the forehead.
  • Nose wrinkles (bunny lines).
  • Outer corners of your eyes, commonly known as the crow’s feet; and Brows, to give a lifted and natural brow lift.
  • A wrinkled chin.

Treating dynamic wrinkles early with neurotoxin injection prevents permanent creases from forming, because the muscles that you treat can no longer create strong creases in your skin. By starting neurotoxin injection early, and repeatedly treating your dynamic wrinkles, you will prevent these from maturing into permanent static wrinkles. You may eventually require neurotoxin injection less often.

Safety of Neurotoxin on Forehead Lines

US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the use of neurotoxin for the treatment of forehead lines. Treatment with the drug is safe and the procedure itself does not take very long.Moreover, an instant recovery means that you can continue with your daily activities with no downtime. Lasting up to 4 to 6 months.
