Horizontal forehead lines are often among the first visible signs of ageing. These creases are a common complaint of people who feel that lines in this area make them look older or more worried than they truly are. Thankfully, there is a way to reduce these lines.

Treating Horizontal Forehead Lines
Repeated muscle movements over time cause these horizontal lines. As you raise your eyebrows, lines form. Eventually, the lines become deeper and remain permanently, even when your forehead muscles are relaxed.
Candidates for this treatment are concerned about their forehead wrinkles. Ideal candidates are searching for a treatment that focuses on the appearance of the forehead. Horizontal line treatments are available for adults of any age. Many clients find this treatment makes them look more relaxed and rejuvenated.
Most adults in good overall health can receive this treatment.
What Causes Horizontal Lines on the Forehead?
Horizontal lines and wrinkles on the forehead are caused by several factors, including repeated muscle movement and ageing of the skin. The frontalis muscle is responsible for the raising of the eyebrows and facial expressions. When you lift your eyebrows, this muscle causes superficial horizontal lines across the forehead. Over time, these lines become more noticeable and visible even with a resting facial expression.
Ageing of the skin is also a significant contributor to the formation of lines and wrinkles. As the body ages, the skin loses elasticity and volume. The body produces less collagen and elastin, and the effects of gravity and skin laxity cause wrinkles to appear.
The ageing of the skin can be made worse by sun damage. Excessive exposure to the sun’s powerful UV rays causes the collagen in the skin to break down faster.
Can You Get Rid Of Forehead Lines?
Yes. Many clients are able to reverse forehead lines. If the wrinkles are set deeper into the skin, you may not be able to eliminate them entirely with one treatment alone. For more severe wrinkles and deep lines, your clinician may recommend combining treatments to achieve your desired results.
Are There Any Alternative Treatments for Forehead Wrinkles?
If you have deep-set wrinkles caused by volume loss, your practitioner may recommend other non-surgical cosmetic treatments as a part of your treatment plan.
What’s the next step?
Many clients combine this wrinkle treatment with a restore treatment, which fill in the skin indentation to further smooth the appearance of the forehead. This combination treatment does come with an added cost. To learn more about this treatment and the costs of smoothing horizontal forehead creases, schedule a free consultation today.
