Forehead lines can make you look older and more tired than you are. They are caused by overactivity of the frontalis muscle, the forehead’s primary muscle. With repeated muscle movement over time, deep horizontal forehead lines can form, and even stay visible when the face is relaxed.
The most superior treatment for horizontal forehead lines is muscle relaxing injections. Small injections using a very fine needle are performed to the forehead into the muscles which causes the eyebrows to be raised (frontalis).
Injectors have to be skilled in this area, as this area has the highest risk for brow droop. There are some patients who will be unsuitable for horizontal forehead line treatments e.g. those who really need a blepharoplasty (upper eyelid surgery), with excessive upper eyelid skin hanging down over their eyes. If the horizontal forehead lines are treated in these people, any minor droop in their lids is going to be a problem.
Sometimes asymmetry or “spocking” will occur because one side just comes on quicker than the other. Usually it will right itself by the time of the review appointment. Treating asymmetry or spocking too early could lead to droop or further asymmetry. It is best to wait for 4 weeks for a review appointment.
As the forehead makes up a substantial part of the face, treatments for lines and wrinkles placed to smooth this area can make a dramatic difference to the overall facial aesthetic.
