What Are Forehead Wrinkles?
Forehead wrinkles are just what they sound like they'd be - lines and wrinkles that appear on your brow. Brow and forehead lines are typically considered a type of dynamic wrinkle, meaning they are associated with muscle movements and facial expressions, like squinting, frowning, or raising your brow. Over time, forehead lies often begin to linger even with the face at rest, which can add years to a person's appearance.
What Causes Forehead Wrinkles?
Forehead wrinkles, sometimes called brow lines, are caused by repetitive muscle movements and facial expressions. These may include smiling, frowning, squinting, and furrowing your brow. Over time - often many years or decades - the surface wrinkles you see with these expressions can start to become deeper set into the skin and remain visible at all times, regardless of your expression. Sun exposure, stress, lifestyle factors, and other variables can also contribute to the progression of facial aging and the development of lines and wrinkles.
What Are the Symptoms of Forehead Wrinkles?
Patients with forehead wrinkles may notice horizontal lines spreading across the forehead - like those that appear when you raise your brow - but that are present even when your expression is neutral. For many people, forehead wrinkles progress fairly quickly and start to appear deeper-set over time. Patients who wear makeup may also begin to notice that their forehead lines look even more prominent due to products setting or cracking in their forehead lines.
How Are Forehead Wrinkles Treated?
Once forehead lines and wrinkles begin to set in place, even with your face at rest, they typically become more stubborn and unresponsive to topical creams and other products. However, that doesn't mean you have to live with them for good. With injectable wrinkle relaxers, including BOTOX® and Dysport®, our team can help restore a smoother, younger, more refreshed look. When injected into the muscles responsible for certain expressions, these purified neurotoxins force muscle relaxation, which allows the surface lines and wrinkles to relax as well.

Friendly & thorough. Saw to my needs so I can be on my way to recovery. Thank you Doctor & Staff! Janis Burge
My experience was great. I went in for first time filler,(lips). Ms.Stephanie is who performed my treatment & I am SO satisfied. She as well as her assistants were very thorough throughout my whole process, from the questions I had to the way tx was being performed. Well deserved 5 stars! 🌟
Excellent visit with Dr Raimer. Both professional and personable. Highly recommend.
1st time visit and was very pleased, front desk was polite and professional, and came to hear what exactly what I needed for my sunburn /Melasma
I pulled some weeds in my backyard, without gloves like a fool!, and ended up with a painful/itchy rash all over my hands. I was seen within a couple hours of when I called and started medication last night. The larger blisters have already gone down so I’m confident I’ll feel and look better in another week! Having any rash that itches non stop will drive you crazy!
