Forehead wrinkles

Effectively reduce forehead wrinkles

Forehead wrinkles are wrinkles that form on the forehead and are one of the so-called "dynamic wrinkles". They are caused by repeated movements of the facial muscles, especially the forehead muscles, which are involved in laughing, frowning and other facial movements. As we age, the skin loses elasticity and collagen, which causes these wrinkles to become more and more visible.
Forehead wrinkles can appear at a relatively young age depending on genetics, lifestyle, sun exposure and other factors, but they usually become more pronounced over time. People with particularly active facial expressions are often more likely to develop forehead wrinkles earlier in life.
To reduce the appearance and visibility of forehead wrinkles, treatment with muscle relaxants may be considered.

The treatment

The treatment process begins with a thorough consultation and examination by qualified specialists. During this consultation, the individual needs of the patient are discussed and the doctor explains possible risks and side effects.
The actual treatment usually only takes a few minutes and is carried out on an outpatient basis in the clinic. The specialist staff injects the muscle relaxant with fine needles into the affected facial muscles on the forehead. This relaxes the muscles and they can no longer contract as strongly as before.
The effect of the muscle relaxant begins after a few days and reaches its peak within about two weeks. The treated facial muscles become less active, which reduces the formation of wrinkles. The result is a smoother and more relaxed forehead with fewer visible wrinkles.
The effects of the treatment usually last about 4 to 6 months, depending on the individual patient response. To maintain the desired results in the long term, regular booster treatments may be necessary.

FAQ

Can forehead wrinkles also be massaged away?

Forehead wrinkles cannot be completely eliminated by massage. Some exercises can help reduce the wrinkles, but they cannot be completely eliminated.

Will the movement of the eyebrows also be paralyzed?

Treatment with muscle relaxants offers a flexible way to adjust the severity of muscle paralysis. An experienced doctor can adjust the amount of muscle relaxant depending on the patient's individual needs and wishes. This makes it possible to either partially maintain the mobility of the forehead and eyebrows or to specifically restrict it.
