Forehead lines are the horizontal wrinkles that appear across the forehead, becoming more noticeable as we age. They’re typically a result of repeated facial expressions like raising eyebrows or showing surprise. As our skin loses elasticity, these lines become more prominent.
Anti-wrinkle treatments for forehead lines, such as Botox or dermal fillers, are designed to relax these muscles and smooth out the skin, helping to give a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
When you look at a person’s face, the forehead is one of the areas that receives the most attention. So, it’s no wonder that most people want to keep their foreheads looking young & smooth. This article will help you reduce or eliminate forehead wrinkles & prevent new ones from appearing.
The skin on our forehead can show wrinkles for several reasons. The most common is due to the skin stretching & folding from repeated facial expressions, like frowning or raising your eyebrows in surprise.
As we age, our skin loses some of its elasticity, so it doesn’t snap back into place as easily after these expressions. The result is what we refer to as forehead wrinkles or “worry lines.”
Other factors that can influence the appearance of wrinkles on your forehead include
• Sun Exposure
UV light exposure speeds up the aging process & breaks down collagen. This results in skin that is thin & wrinkled.
• Smoking
Smoking causes blood vessels to narrow, which means that blood flow is reduced to the skin. This makes it harder for oxygen & nutrients to reach the skin.
• Dehydration
The main reason is that the skin on your forehead is thin & does not have much natural fat to protect it.If you are dehydrated, the skin on your forehead will become dry, cracked & wrinkled more easily than if you are well hydrated
• Aging
Smile lines, frown lines, & forehead wrinkles are all signs of aging that can begin as soon as your twenties. As we age, the skin gradually loses its elasticity & the muscles underneath the skin weaken.
• Genetics
Genes can determine the amount of collagen & elastin fibers produced by your body. Collagen & elastin fibers help build up skin firmness & elasticity, keeping it supple & smooth as you age.
Forehead wrinkles can be categorized into three types:
Horizontal forehead lines: Horizontal forehead lines are the most common type of wrinkle. They are caused by the constant movement of your brow muscles & repeated raising of your eyebrows. These wrinkles will appear thicker or deeper when you raise your eyebrows.
Vertical forehead lines: When your eyebrows are pulled together, vertical wrinkle lines may appear between your eyebrows. These wrinkles are often deep set & can be difficult to treat.
Glabellar frown lines: Glabellar frown lines make the skin between your eyebrows sag & droop, making you look angry or worried even when you’re not.
Forehead wrinkle treatment may be used to smooth out fine lines & wrinkles caused by aging or facial expressions.
Our Botox London treatment for wrinkles is a simple process that takes a few minutes & does not require anesthetic. Botox is injected into the desired area using a very fine needle. Treatment requires only a few tiny anti wrinkle injections, & there is minimal pain associated with the injections. The number of units needed depends on the degree of wrinkling present & varies from person to person.
The effects of Botox are temporary, lasting four months or more. Over time, you will need less Botox because your muscles will become weaker & need less paralysis to get rid of your wrinkles.

Anna Smith2023-05-18Dr sarah really takes her time and has patience , being a anxious person she makes sure im carm before starting treatments and takes her time to explain what shes doing. I am happy with the filler treatment she has done for me .
Beth Nolan2023-03-02I have been a returning customer to Artistry Clinic for a number of years. My first treatment was for nose reshaping, I was so happy with the results, I have since returned multiple times and have expanded to receive other filler based treatment. I am always made to feel comfortable and have absolute confidence in the results every time.
Isabella Read2017-12-01This was my first visit. All staff were very polite and pleasant. It makes such a difference when people are pleasant and respectful towards you. They were all very helpful, though they could know the immediate area around the clinic better for directions. Dr Shah herself was lovely. I look forward to having treatment.
Aisha Dickins2017-11-02I've been to see Jen at the Renown House/Bury Street clinic twice now. Both times she's been patient, sympathetic and encouraging and she really knows her stuff when it comes to the various treatments and options available for each skin condition. She's always happy to talk through any concerns or worries you have with either the treatment or your skin, and the clinic is always clean and well presented. I've seen improvement in my skin already and I'm looking forward to going back for another visit in the future!
Anony Mous2017-10-17I have been seeing Dr Sarah Shah for almost 4 years now, she has provided me with a multitude of treatments over the years, and I have always been very pleased with the results. I would highly recommend her services which is why I have been such a longstanding customer. I am a real perfectionist, so its hard to find someone that shares my vision and that was just what I found in Dr Shah! I am certain you will not be disappointed with whatever treatment you seek to have with Dr Shah-she will certainly put you at ease and give you a lot of time to ensure you are happy with the results!
Studio Manager2017-10-11I discovered Sarah in 2013 and have never looked back. Her aesthetics are brilliant (Botox and recently the 8 point lift face lift .. both of which left me feeling rejuvenated, lifted but 'natural' .. a perfect balance) Likewise the aftercare (follow-up appointment) is amazing ... you are given as much attention as the initial consultation and Sarah's job is not done until she knows you are happy with the results! Thank you Sarah .. thank you team
Colin W2017-06-15I always see great results. And never any discomfort from injections as Sarah always ensures plenty of time for the anaesthetic cream to take effect. You never feel rushed & Sarah & the clinic staff are welcoming & knowledgeable. The clinic itself is 3 mins walk from Aldgate tube. I thoroughly recommend a visit.
Lorraine Suzanne2017-06-13I have been to see Sarah 3 times this year for fillers. I have on each occasion had an excellent experience. I have always been seen on time, I didn't feel rushed and plenty of time and consideration was taken with my treatment. She was able to give thorough explanation of what she was doing and why and how I could get the most optimal results from my treatment going forward. There was no pressure or hard sell or making me feel like I needed anything!! (except that my experience was so good that I can't wait to go back!). I have been to a few places in London for similar treatment, all reputable. But I felt most confident in Sarah Shah's clinic.
