Forehead Lines
These Horizontal lines occur on our forehead due to repeated contractions of the frontalis (forehead) muscle from raising our eyebrows. The anti-wrinkle injections aim to smooth existing wrinkles and to help prevent the formation of new ones. Relaxing the muscles with carefully placed anti-wrinkle injections can quickly and effectively create softer, smoother and youthful looking skin and relax those expression lines that can make you look tired and sometimes even angry and detract from your natural glow.

BEFOREFrequently Asked Questions
Procedure
The appointment duration is 30 mins. We use very fine needles to administer the Botox into the desired muscle area which are relatively painless and no numbing required.
Duration & Longevity
Optimum results will be experienced within two weeks following the treatment. Botox on average lasts around 3-4 months after which the muscles resume their normal activity.
Downtime
There is no downtime needed and can return to normal activities. You may have small raised blebs on the skin but these settle within 30 mins. Common side effects are slight bruising, mild headache/tenderness in the injection sites but this is all temporary. Post treatment- stay upright for 4-6hours so that botox doesn’t migrate and no facials/massages for 2 weeks.
Common misconceptions
Clients often become concerned with botox and the ‘frozen’ look. I will adjust the dosing appropriate for the type of look the client wants.
Botox treatment is best done preventatively and the most people assume botox should be done when the lines are present at rest. It’s best to start earlier before the lines on the forehead become fixed at rest in order to maintain a smoother youthful appearing skin.
