Forehead Lines

Forehead Lines

Forehead lines are horizontal lines that run across the forehead, often becoming more prominent during facial movements that raise the eyebrows, for example, when surprised or in shock. Over time, these lines can become more fixed and deeper, and noticeable at rest.

During the clinical consultation, our medical practitioner will assess your facial anatomy to determine movement and how these lines form. If appropriate, recommended treatment options may include botulinum toxin, which reduces muscle movement in the area by targeting the frontalis muscle to create a smoother forehead. The aim is to soften the lines while preserving natural movement. Other treatments, including microneedling, will be discussed.

Treatment of frown lines and forehead lines with botulinum toxin can also impact muscles that pull the eyebrows down, helping give eyebrows a better shape or arch and achieving a brow lift.
