Forehead Lines
Forehead lines are a common skin concern and can develop for a variety of reasons, including facial movement, skin ageing, lifestyle factors and genetics. A professional consultation allows you to understand why these lines appear and explore appropriate options based on your individual needs.
​
During your consultation, our expert Doctors will discuss your goals and create a customised treatment plan to help you to achieve the look you desire.

What Are Forehead Lines?
Forehead lines are horizontal lines that appear across the upper face. They may become more noticeable over time and can vary in depth and visibility.
​
During your consultation, we assess:
-
Skin quality and elasticity
-
Facial movement and expression patterns
-
Medical history and suitability for treatment
-
Your personal concerns and expectations
Understanding Anti-Wrinkle Injections
Anti-wrinkle injections are a medical treatment option that may be discussed during a consultation for forehead lines.
They are a popular non-surgical cosmetic treatment used to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on the face.
They work by temporarily relaxing the facial muscles that cause wrinkles, leading to smoother skin and a more youthful appearance.


How This Treatment Is Used for Forehead Lines
In this area, treatment may involve a prescription-only injectable medicine used to temporarily reduce excessive muscle activity. Small, precisely placed amounts are used to soften the appearance of lines while aiming to maintain natural eyebrow position and facial expression.
​
Treatment planning is individual and considers:
-
Muscle strength and pattern of contraction
-
Baseline brow position and symmetry
-
Existing forehead lines at rest and during movement
-
The interaction between the forehead and the muscles between the eyebrows​
​
Forehead treatment is commonly assessed alongside the area between the brows, as these muscle groups function together to control eyebrow movement.
