How to Get Rid of Forehead Wrinkles

Forehead wrinkles are the earliest sign of aging for most of the population. They are usually brought on by repetitive facial expressions, making the skin wrinkle and slowly form deep lines. The more you frown, the deeper your lines will be. As you get older, the natural aging process also kicks in, enhancing the wrinkles and making you look a lot older. 

While it can be hard to avoid forehead wrinkles, the good news is that you can treat them. Laser Skin Care Center carries a range of neurotoxins that are suitable for tackling this problem. 

About Neurotoxins

Neurotoxins are injectable treatments that inject a micro amount of toxin into your body, disrupting the signals between muscle fibers and the brain. Effectively, this prevents the muscles from contracting, which can prevent and smooth wrinkles. While the idea of injecting a toxin into your body sounds dangerous, neurotoxin treatments are completely safe and have been FDA-approved for decades. 

What Can Neurotoxins Target?

These injectables are normally used to target the main signs of aging in your face. This includes forehead lines, crow’s feet, and any other fine lines around your face. They are most effective when used to combat lines and wrinkles caused by facial expressions. 

Types of Neurotoxins

Laser Skin Center uses three different types of neurotoxins for patients. Each of these options will work in the same way, there are just some subtle differences between them.

Botox®

Botox® is the most-famous neurotoxin in the world. Like all neurotoxins, it contains a dose of botulinum toxin A. It has been FDA-approved since 2002 and is cleared to treat forehead lines and crow’s feet. The results are seen around 3-5 days after treatment, and they can last for anywhere between 3-4 months, making it one of the longest-lasting injectables around. 

Xeomin®

Xeomin® is rather new to the neurotoxin scene, gaining FDA approval in 2011. Once more, it is primarily used to treat moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows. The unique thing about this neurotoxin is that it only contains the toxin. Other options have proteins included alongside this, but Xeomin® does not. The results of your treatment should be seen within 5-7 days, and it is shown to last just as long as Botox®. 

Dysport®

The last option is Dysport®, which is used for deep wrinkles in the face – particularly forehead lines and crow’s feet. It is the fastest-acting neurotoxin injectable on offer, with improvements in skin youthfulness shown after 24 hours. Like the previous two injections, this one should deliver results that last up to 4 months. 

Am I a Candidate for Forehead Wrinkle Treatment?

If you are over the age of 21 and experience forehead wrinkles, you could be a candidate for neurotoxin injectables. All of these injectables could be suitable for you, depending on what your specific problems are. Your skincare expert at Laser Skin Care Center will talk to you during a consultation to discuss the best course of action.
