Forehead wrinkles

Effectively reduce forehead wrinkles

Forehead wrinkles are wrinkles that form on the forehead and belong to the so-called "dynamic wrinkles". They are caused by repetitive movements of the facial muscles, especially the forehead muscles involved in laughing, frowning and other facial expressions. As we age, the skin loses elasticity and collagen, causing these wrinkles to become 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 prone to developing 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 patient's individual needs are discussed and the doctor explains the possible risks and side effects.
The actual treatment usually only takes a few minutes and is carried out in the clinic on an outpatient basis. The specialist uses fine needles to inject the muscle relaxant specifically into the affected facial muscles on the forehead. This relaxes the muscles and prevents them from contracting as much as before.
The effect of the muscle relaxant sets in after a few days and reaches its peak within around 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 effect of the treatment usually lasts for around 4 to 6 months, depending on the patient's individual reaction. In order to maintain the desired results in the long term, a regular top-up treatment may be necessary.
