Why forehead lines form
The horizontal lines across your forehead come from the muscle that lifts your eyebrows. Every time you raise your brows, in surprise, while talking or when you are tired, that muscle creases the skin above it. Over the years the creases can become lines that stay visible at rest.
Step one: the consultation
Every treatment starts with a consultation. We ask about your medical history, any medications and what you would like to change. Your practitioner will watch how your forehead moves and explain what is realistic. If treatment is not suitable for you, we will tell you why.
Step two: cleansing and mapping
If you go ahead, your skin is cleansed thoroughly. Your practitioner then maps the muscles, marking where small amounts will be placed. The forehead muscle works closely with the muscles between the brows, so the plan takes your whole upper face into account.
Step three: the injections
As Miss B says, the injections themselves are tiny, quick and over in a few minutes. A very fine needle is used and most people describe a brief sharp scratch. Honestly, the cleanse can take longer!
Step four: the days that follow
Results build gradually over the next week or two, so try not to judge it on day one. Small marks or slight redness at the injection points usually settle quickly. You will be given aftercare advice before you leave, including what to avoid for the rest of the day and who to contact if you have any questions.
Results vary from person to person. Your practitioner will talk you through what to expect for your own face.
Why the forehead needs a careful plan
The forehead muscle is the main muscle that lifts your brows, so it is treated with care. Your practitioner considers the position of your brows, how strongly the muscle works and how it balances with the muscles between the brows. That is why the plan is made for your face specifically rather than following a set pattern, and why the consultation and mapping stages matter so much. It is also why we take time to understand the look you would like.
Who it may suit
Anti-wrinkle treatment may be considered by adults who would like to soften forehead lines. It is not suitable for everyone, including during pregnancy or breastfeeding and with some medical conditions or medications.
