Raise your hand if you’ve noticed lines and wrinkles on your forehead when you lift your eyebrows. Many of us in our 20s or 30s might be wondering about these forehead wrinkles that are starting to appear. Are they a sign that we are beginning to look older? Let’s find the answer together
How do forehead wrinkles happen?
I’d like to explain that forehead wrinkles come in two types. The first type is the wrinkles that only appear when you raise your eyebrows. The second type is permanent wrinkles that are visible even when your face is relaxed. Both types are caused by the repeated movement of the muscles in the forehead. This repeated movement leads to lines forming as the muscles fold over each other.
However, there are noticeable differences between these two types of wrinkles:
- Temporary Wrinkles: These wrinkles disappear when you are not raising your eyebrows or forehead. They can be treated by using Botox, which can make the face smooth and youthful again.
- Permanent Wrinkles: These wrinkles are visible all the time and make the face look older. They are common in people in their 40s or 50s who have lost a lot of collagen and fat in their skin. They are difficult to treat if Botox isn’t used early to slow down and prevent them from forming.
How to fix forehead wrinkles and lines
Botox for reducing forehead wrinkles
It’s true that Botox is a highly effective treatment for wrinkles caused by muscle movements, including forehead wrinkles.
How Botox works on forehead wrinkles
The main ingredient in Botox is called Botulinum Toxin Type A. It works by blocking the release of neurotransmitters that tell muscles to move. When the muscles don’t move, the lines and wrinkles on the forehead don’t appear.
Will Botox make it impossible to raise eyebrows? This won’t happen if the doctor injecting the Botox is skilled. They will evaluate the severity of your wrinkles and use the right amount of Botox for your specific needs, ensuring proper injection techniques.
How long before you see results from Botox on forehead wrinkles?
After gettingBotox for wrinklesit takes about 2-4 weeks for the full effects to show. You will notice that your forehead becomes smoother, and even when you lift your eyebrows, there are no wrinkles. Botox also helps prevent deep permanent wrinkles in the future because it reduces muscle activity.
The effects of Botox on forehead wrinkles last about 3-4 months. High-quality Botox will naturally break down in the body without leaving any residues.
Precautions for Botox on forehead wrinkles
Beware of cheap Botox – You might get fake products
Fake Botox can mean imitations of well-known brands or products smuggled into the country. While they may be genuine Botox, their source, production batch, expiration date, and storage conditions can’t be verified to meet standards.
Fake Botox is usually sold at a low price, maybe only a few hundred or thousand baht. However, using fake Botox poses serious risks, such as: not seeing any results, effects wearing off quickly, residue remaining in the body, or developing resistance to Botox, which means your body won’t respond to Botox injections in the future.
Aftercare tips for Botox on forehead wrinkles
To ensure the Botox remains effective, avoid activities that involve high heat exposure in the week after your injection. Here are some things to avoid:
- Avoid sauna sessions
- Avoid steam treatments
- Avoiding laser treatments
If you experience a headache on the day of your injection, you can take a pain reliever or apply a warm compress to ease the discomfort. The symptoms should improve within 1-2 weeks.
You can get Botox injections every 3-4 months. It’s crucial to start treatment early, before the wrinkles become severe, to prevent permanent deep wrinkles that are hard to fix.

Q&A: Common questions about treating forehead wrinkles
Q: Is it dangerous to get Botox frequently to reduce forehead wrinkles?
A: Normally, Botox lasts about 3–4 months. If you wait at least this long before your next injection, there’s no need to worry about harmful side effects. The key is to choose a skilled doctor and ensure only genuine Botox is used.
Q: Are there other treatments for forehead wrinkles besides Botox?
A: If your forehead wrinkles are caused by muscle movements, like raising your eyebrows, Botox is the best solution because it directly affects the muscles.
For preventing and slowing down wrinkles, energy-based treatments like Ultraformer III
or Thermage
can help. These stimulate collagen production, making the skin firmer, stronger, and more elastic. This helps maintain a youthful look and reduces the chance of new wrinkles forming in the future.
Q: Can I still use anti-aging skincare products after getting Botox?
A: Yes, you can! Many skincare ingredients help reduce wrinkles and boost collagen in the skin. While they don’t work as fast or as clearly as treatments, they complement Botox well. Here are some examples:
- Retinol: A vitamin A derivative that promotes collagen production and speeds up skin cell renewal, making wrinkles less visible. Learn how to use it properly.
- Hyaluronic acid: A hydrating ingredient that smooths the skin and provides deep moisture.
- Peptides: Boost collagen and elastin production in the skin.
- Vitamin C: An antioxidant that protects the skin from sun damage and pollution while stimulating collagen.
- Sunscreen: Prevents wrinkles caused by UV damage. Use SPF 30 or higher daily and reapply if exposed to sunlight.
