Often, these wrinkles begin as superficial and small lines on the forehead and can develop into deeper coarse wrinkles. Both men and women can develop permanent forehead wrinkles, sometimes developing one on top of another, which can adversely affect facial expression. As you consider doing something about your forehead wrinkles, we’d like to tell you what your options are and what steps you can take. During a consultation with a plastic surgeon at our private clinic located in Maastricht, we’ll provide you with all the necessary information so you can make an informed decision.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> Forehead wrinkles are mainly caused by expressions of the face – mainly, the raising of the eyebrow muscles. These muscles are used to express different emotions like surprise, worry or anger, and so are frequently used. Getting wrinkles is a natural part of the aging process because as you age, the collagen and elastin in the skin decreases. As a result, the skin becomes thinner, less elastic, and less firm. If you use your facial expressions a lot, through frowning and raising your eyebrows, deep wrinkles will appear in the long run. Sun exposure, stress, smoking or poor eating and living habits also contribute to this.<\/p>\n If your forehead wrinkles bother you, you may want to consider getting them treated. For most people, wrinkles become bothersome once the lines remain even when the face is relaxed. Also, there are plenty of young people who want to avoid the horizontal lines on their foreheads. Botox\u00a0 both improves the lines that are already there and works preventively.<\/p>\n It’s not easy to just stop raising your eyebrows and not frown because these are often habits you’re not aware of or that are difficult to unlearn. One tool that can help is Botox: a muscle relaxant. The substance Botulinum Toxin (Botox) reduces muscle contraction and relaxes the skin. This will prevent deep forehead wrinkles.<\/p>\n If you already have wrinkles, you don’t need to inject fillers directly into them. If you’re treated (several times) with toxin, the existing wrinkles will naturally diminish. If your forehead wrinkles don’t go away, you may be able to have them filled with filler. Fillers are used to fill wrinkles by addressing volume loss. At MOOI Clinic, we only work with safe botulinum toxin and temporary fillers. We prefer to use Belotero<\/a> hyaluronic acid fillers for this purpose.<\/p>\n At MOOI Clinic, we work with two different brands of muscle relaxants: Botox\u00ae and Bocouture\u00ae. Botox\u00ae is the well-known brand of Allergan. Bocouture\u00ae is a new, purified form of Botulinum toxin. During a consultation, we will tell you about both brands and help you make the right choice.<\/p>\n During the consultation<\/a>, you and the doctor will look at your face, wrinkles and skin. We also assess why you lift your eyebrows often. You may have low-profile eyebrows<\/a> or suffer from overhanging eyelids. In such a case, Botox treatment solves one problem, but may create another. Before proceeding with treatment, a specialist will advise you on what is an appropriate treatment. If Botox is suitable for your forehead wrinkles, you can often be treated right after the consultation.<\/p>\n With Botox treatment, the substance is injected with a very thin needle into the muscles that cause the wrinkles. It’s very important that a natural result is achieved and your appearance is not altered. Therefore, always choose Botox treatment from a specialist such as a cosmetic doctor or plastic surgeon. The treatment takes about 15 minutes and no anesthesia is necessary. Afterwards, the skin is somewhat red and swollen but this goes away in about 15 minutes. You can usually return to work after treatment since there are normally no visible signs you had anything done. Botox begins to work after a few days, and after two weeks the effects of muscle relaxing are optimal.<\/p>\n There are rarely any side effects after Botox treatment. In case of swelling or pain, you can treat the areas with a cold compress but this is usually not necessary. After treatment, you can do almost anything again. We only recommend that you keep your head upright for the first 3-4 hours, and don’t exercise (including yoga), or use a tanning bed or sauna for 24 hours.<\/p>\n<\/div>Treating forehead wrinkles<\/h2><\/div>
