What Are Forehead Lines and How Can Botox Help?

Tired of forehead creases? Discover how Botox smooths out deep lines for a fresher, more youthful look without losing your natural expression.

What Are Forehead Lines?

Forehead lines are the horizontal wrinkles that appear across your forehead — especially when you raise your eyebrows or express surprise. Over time, these lines can become deeper and more noticeable, even when your face is resting.

They’re one of the most common early signs of ageing, and they’re completely normal.

Why Do Forehead Lines Appear?

These lines are caused by repeated movement of the frontalis muscle, which lifts the eyebrows. Add in age, stress, sun exposure, and even genetics — and you’ve got the perfect recipe for forehead lines.

How Does Botox Help?

Botox works by gently relaxing the muscle responsible for those movements. This reduces the appearance of existing lines and helps prevent new ones from forming. The result? A smoother, more refreshed-looking forehead — without freezing your face.

Is Botox Right for Me?

If your lines are starting to bother you — or you want to prevent them from getting deeper — Botox could be a great option. Treatment only takes around 30 minutes, and the results usually last 3–4 months.

You’ll still look like you — just a more relaxed, well-rested version.
