About forehead treatments

Forehead lines are among the most common first concerns for people considering injectables. Horizontal lines across the forehead form when the frontalis muscle repeatedly contracts as we raise our eyebrows. Neurotoxins like Botox and Dysport temporarily relax this muscle, smoothing the lines without freezing expression.

Common concerns

  • Deep horizontal lines at rest
  • Lines visible when raising brows
  • Heavy brow appearance

Treatment options

What to expect

A standard forehead treatment takes under 15 minutes. Results appear within 4 to 7 days and last 3 to 4 months. The dose matters: too many units over-treats the frontalis and causes a heavy brow. A conservative approach preserving natural movement is the standard of care.

Important: risks and side effects

All injectable treatments carry risks including bruising, swelling, asymmetry, infection, and vascular complications. Serious complications are rare with a qualified provider but can occur. Consult a board-certified physician or licensed provider and disclose your full medical history before treatment.
