Treating Forehead Wrinkles with Botulinum Toxin

Wrinkles on the forehead run horizontally and become deeper and more pronounced with age. Many people desire to regain a youthful appearance and want to get rid of these wrinkles. Smooth skin is seen as a symbol of youth and beauty. It's understandable that worry lines are not welcomed. But what can be done to get rid of these wrinkles?
Forehead wrinkles won't disappear on their own. It's part of the natural aging process of the skin for them to develop and become more pronounced. How they develop is highly influenced by genetic factors and also lifestyle.

How Do Wrinkles Form on the Forehead?
Forehead wrinkles can develop in some people at a young age, even as early as the age of 20. However, they typically first appear in the 30s, and in some people, even later. This largely depends on genetic predisposition and lifestyle. It's evident that certain factors favor the development of forehead wrinkles. These include frequent alcohol consumption or heavy smoking.
Diet also plays a role. It seems logical that a largely plant-based diet has a more positive impact than regular consumption of meat and sugar. Besides these factors, the habitual way the face is contorted can favor the formation of forehead wrinkles.

Those who frequently raise their eyebrows when thinking and thus fold the forehead can develop pronounced forehead wrinkles or worry lines at an early age.
However, the most significant influencing factor on wrinkle formation is genetics. People whose cell regeneration slows down faster are more likely to deal with wrinkles. Additionally, individual skin type is strongly influenced by genetics. The effects of intense sunlight on wrinkle formation should also not be underestimated. Those who regularly expose themselves to the sun or go to tanning beds have a higher likelihood of developing wrinkles on the forehead.
How Are Forehead Wrinkles Treated?
To smooth out forehead wrinkles for an extended period, two procedures are used. They can be treated with Botulinum toxin or hyaluronic acid. The use of Botulinum toxin is very effective here. This substance causes the forehead muscles to relax, resulting in a smoother forehead. This is particularly suitable for treating dynamic wrinkles.
The alternative is treatment with hyaluronic fillers. In this case, depressions are injected from the inside. This leads to the restoration of lost volume.
Which method is used depends heavily on the type of wrinkle. If it's a wrinkle caused by volume loss, for example due to the breakdown of fat tissue, the use of a filler (such as hyaluronic acid) is recommended.
However, if it's a wrinkle caused by facial expressions, such as the classic thinking or worry lines on the forehead, treatment with Botulinum toxin is appropriate.

A combination of both methods can also be useful, as it allows for the treatment of both dynamic wrinkles and wrinkles caused by volume loss.

What to Consider in Forehead Wrinkle Treatment with Botulinum Toxin?
Treatment with Botulinum toxin is not possible if there is an acute infection in the area to be treated. If this is not the case, there is little against treatment with Botulinum toxin. Anesthetizing the facial region can be done in advance with a cream.
The treatment itself is done with very thin needles. The substance is injected directly into the muscle. This blocks the neurotransmitter (acetylcholine), leading to an inhibition of communication between the muscle and nerve. As a result, the muscle can no longer contract and remains permanently relaxed. Only as much Botulinum toxin is used as necessary to keep the muscle mobile. This ensures a natural expression.
However, there are also deeper frown or thinking wrinkles. These are so pronounced over the years that they are visible around the clock, no matter what facial expression we make. For these deep wrinkles, a combination of Botulinum toxin and hyaluronic filler treatment is recommended. This can achieve the best effects. Botulinum toxin restricts the mobility of the muscle and the hyaluronic filler ensures that voids can be filled again.
In this combination, Botulinum toxin and hyaluronic acid work together to achieve an optimal appearance with less pronounced frown wrinkles. The wrinkles are filled in again, and a pleasantly youthful appearance is restored. Hyaluronic acid occurs naturally in the body and, when injected into wrinkles, restores the skin's volume. It becomes smooth again and frown wrinkles ideally disappear.
