Forehead wrinkles

A face without worries

Frequently raising your eyebrows causes forehead wrinkles, and as you get older, these wrinkles will become increasingly visible. Using a lot of facial expressions causes these lines in the forehead. In addition, genetics, excessive exposure to UV light, and smoking play a role.

Before After

Wrinkles in the forehead can define your face; they create an aged and tired appearance. A treatment with Botox (Botulinum Toxin) can offer a solution. Dikrama Clinics has the expertise to give you a rested look again. During a free consultation with the doctor, all options for Botox in the forehead are discussed. Sometimes an eyebrow lift or the groove between the eyebrows, the so-called frown line, is also discussed because these treatments often go hand in hand with treating the forehead.

On very rare occasions, the forehead is not suitable for Botox. In that case, you and the doctor will see if a filler could potentially be used instead.

The process of Botox treatment for forehead wrinkles

  1. Before the treatment

    If you are visiting Dikrama Clinics for the first time, we ask you to fill out a medical questionnaire. After that, the doctor disinfects the forehead and marks the injection points. An average of six to eight Botox injections are needed for the desired result when treating wrinkles in the forehead.

  2. After the treatment

    Exercise is not allowed for up to four hours after the treatment. However, we do advise you to actually use the forehead muscle after the treatment, as this helps the Botox distribute better across the muscle. Please note: you must NOT lie down for two hours after the Botox treatment.

  3. Recovery time

    There is no recovery time for this treatment. Were you treated during your lunch break? Then you can go straight back to work! If a small bruise develops after the treatment, you can easily camouflage it with makeup.

  4. Duration of results

    Within two to fourteen days after the treatment, the treated muscle relaxes, resulting in a softening of your wrinkles. For deeper grooves in the forehead, Dikrama Clinics advises combining the forehead treatment with Botox with a filler and returning after two to four weeks to discuss a possible follow-up treatment with the doctor. Dikrama Clinics works according to the "less is more" philosophy and will always strive for the most natural result possible.

Safety

Botulinum Toxin or Botox is an extremely safe medication. Botulinum Toxin falls under the Medicines Act; before the product was admitted to the market, years of research were conducted into its effectiveness, side effects, and complications. Botox has been used in the medical world for over forty years for things like muscle spasms. Furthermore, the doctors at Dikrama Clinics have years of experience using this product and will always inject it in the correct way and in the right amount.

Frequently asked questions

It is not a painful treatment. You might feel the liquid sting a little, but that only lasts for a few seconds.

You don’t need to prepare for a Botox treatment. It is a very quick treatment; also known as a lunchtime treatment. Before you know it, you’re back outside and no one will notice a thing!

The forehead muscle allows you to raise your eyebrows. We do not treat the part of the muscle just above the eyebrows, so you can still move your eyebrows up and down. The middle and upper parts of the muscle can be treated, which reduces the wrinkles.
If you still feel you lose too much expression with a normal Botox treatment of the forehead, then perhaps a Botox Light treatment is an option for you!

In a Botox Light treatment, half the units of a normal Botox treatment are injected.
