Treatment Options for Forehead Wrinkles

The forehead is one of the first places to develop age-related wrinkles. As the muscles and skin of the forehead lose elasticity, it takes more effort to lift the eyelids and open the eyes. This can lead to horizontal forehead wrinkles as early as a person’s 30s. Smiling, laughing, frowning, and squinting can lead to unwanted brow furrows and crow’s feet at the corners of the eyes. A Beverly Hills surgeon like Dr. Jimmy Firouz can offer surgical and non-surgical treatments to eliminate unwanted lines and wrinkles.

Non-Surgical Wrinkle Treatments

Injections of Botox®, a specialized neurotoxin, can minimize existing wrinkles and prevent new ones from forming by temporarily limiting the ability of facial muscles to contract. Botox® works exceptionally well for brow furrows and crow’s feet. The treatment takes only a few minutes, with no recovery time; however, the injections need to be repeated every few months to maintain optimal results.

For the best results, the dosage and injection site must be precise, so the procedure should be performed only by a trained medical professional, such as a board-certified cosmetic plastic surgeon. Dr. Firouz is double board-certified as a reconstructive surgeon and plastic surgeon.

Surgical Wrinkle Treatments

A brow lift is a long-lasting treatment for forehead wrinkles using a minimally invasive endoscopic technique; however, it does require a recovery period since it is a surgical procedure. The procedure involves making small incisions hidden in the scalp, then tightening the tissue to prevent the eyelids from drooping and smooth out the forehead. A brow lift is often the most effective way to eliminate horizontal forehead wrinkles.

Whether you’re dealing with early signs of aging or more pronounced forehead wrinkles, there are effective solutions to restore a youthful, smooth appearance.
