Erasing forehead wrinkles is a frequent reason for consultation in aesthetic medicine. They are part of the expression wrinkles that can appear as early as age 25.There are horizontal wrinkles running the length of the forehead, and a vertical lion’s wrinkle between the eyebrows.The forehead muscles are stimulated regularly. Each time they are used, they pull the skin above the eyebrows, forming horizontal folds. Skin ageing causes the skin to sag. Its collagen and elastin content diminishes, favoring the appearance of wrinkles. Skin becomes less supple and toned, thinner and more easily marked.Thanks to its muscle relaxant properties, Botox® acts directly on the forehead muscle, preventing its repeated contractions, which cause wrinkles. Botulinum toxin puts the muscles at rest, while preserving the face’s natural facial expressions. Injection techniques are meticulous, avoiding as far as possible any frozen appearance.Botox® is indicated for the treatment of expression lines, but also as a preventive measure to delay their appearance.
