BOTOX® Treatment: Forehead Lines

Forehead lines or creases can be an undesirable consequence of facial aging. The presence of forehead lines may give people the impression that you are worried tense. In many cases, forehead lines can become exaggerated due to the contraction of underlying facial muscles, which “pull” or “tug” the overlying skin. If these forehead lines are the “mobile’ expression types of wrinkles, then BOTOX® Cosmetic is a good treatment option to help create a smoother more youthful and relaxed appearance. BOTOX® Injections act to relax the relax the facial muscles, thus allowing the skin to remain smooth regardless of your attempt to contract them and form wrinkles or furrows in the forehead area. By having BOTOX® treatments regularly when you begin to notice the recurrence of the lines or furrows, you will be able to continuously maintain a smooth forehead appearance free of expression wrinkles. For most people the effect of BOTOX® will last from 3-4 months before noticeable wrinkling begins to recur. If the forehead lines become annoying more often, then you should consult your BOTOX® doctor and arrange a retreatment.
