FOREHEAD WRINKLE-RELAXING INJECTIONS
Smooth away fine lines and wrinkles
FOREHEAD LINES
​
Forehead lines, also known as forehead wrinkles are the horizontal indentations that appear across our forehead. Forehead wrinkles formed due to active involvement of the forehead muscles in facial expression are most noticeable when we pull certain facial expressions, such as lifting our eyebrows. When we smile, laugh or look concerned, the glabella muscles tug and pull the skin that covers them, making them appear as deep forehead lines.

WHAT CAUSES FOREHEAD WRINKLES?
Fine lines on foreahead are natural visible indentations across everyone’s face, but as we age, they become more deep-set and prominent looking. This is because our skin gradually becomes looser, and the collagen bonds that form the structure of our faces become less defined. As we repeat facial movements like smiling and frowning over time, the skin across our foreheads loses collagen and elastin stores that keep the skin firm and taut. As a result, forehead lines and wrinkles appear to look deeper set and more obvious.

HOW TO GET RID OF DEEP FOREHEAD WRINKLES
Although a surgical brow lift can treat forehead wrinkles, it is perfectly possible to smooth the forehead in a non-invasive way without incurring downtime. This non-surgical forehead line lift results in a well-rested, relaxed and refreshed look without any severe side effects.
One of our most popular treatments to get rid of forehead lines is anti-wrinkle injections. Botulinum toxin is a naturally purified protein that works as a muscle relaxant. It’s often prescribed by doctors in the UK to treat medical conditions such as chronic migraines and is a popular and proven method for treating forehead wrinkles.
Administered properly by a fully qualified medical practitioner, botulinum toxin injections will visibly diminish brow lines but enable movement in your facial expressions to remain and avoid an unwanted frozen look.
