With time, our facial expressions can become static. The once subtle actions of our face become fixed.

The look of the brow area is particularly susceptible to these types of deepening wrinkles, creases, folds and furrows. As a result, vertical frown lines between eyebrows can make us appear permanently tense, or angry. Horizontal lines can make us looked worried. The brow can start to droop and appear heavy and hooded. 

But Botox for frown lines, as well as other forehead concerns, can help. It works by weakening the contraction of facial muscles, which can soften, reduce or eliminate the lines that result on and around the brow.

Botox works on so many areas of the forehead . In fact, the forehead is the area of choice for cosmetic Neurotoxin injection. By temporarily blocking nerve impulses to the muscles, it works to smooth the skin on the surface. Specifically, Botox injections are highly effective at treating the following areas of concern on the forehead:

Botox for Frown Lines, also called Glabellar Lines, Worry Lines or The 11’s

Furrowing the eyebrows can lead to two vertical lines between the eyes (called the Glabella). Botox for frown lines is a highly effective solution. By relaxing the muscle, it can freshen the look of the brow.

Horizontal Forehead Lines

Horizontal lines are the result of aging, as well as repeatedly raising the eyebrows. Botox can temporarily paralyze the muscles to relax the area and diminish these lines.

Botox Brow Lift

As we age, eyebrows can droop and hood the eyes. Botox injections can relax the muscles that are pulling the eyebrows down. This works to restore a younger looking arch to the forehead.

Botox is a quick 10-20 minute procedure, which requires no incisions and makes use of super-fine needles. Because it’s a minimally-invasive alternative to cosmetic surgery, it comes with no downtime and is usually considered easily tolerated. However, it’s important to note that individual responses to pain vary. 

Following Botox for frown lines treatment, forehead wrinkles and fine lines around the eyes will appear smoother. Frown lines between the brow will be softer. Eyebrows will look more lifted and eyes more open. In general, your face will be more relaxed, alert and awake. 

Botox for frown lines results are usually seen between 3-7 days after injection, although some areas may take effect before others. Botox works to temporarily reduce frown lines or forehead wrinkles for 3-6 months. At this point, additional injections are warranted to maintain results.

Both the cost of Botox and the number of units needed depends on the quality of your skin to begin with, as well as your desired treatment outcomes. It’s best to come in for a complementary consultation to determine a treatment plan.
