Forehead Wrinkles

How do forehead wrinkle treatments work?
Forehead wrinkles are caused by repeated frontalis muscle contractions over time. When we frown or raise our eyebrows, the muscles in our forehead contract, causing the skin to fold and wrinkle. Wrinkle-minimising treatments work by placing a small amount of purified protein into these muscles (we are not allowed to name the drugs used due to Australian regulations). It prevents muscles from contracting and reduces wrinkles by temporarily relaxing them.

What results can I expect from wrinkle-reducing forehead treatments?
Anti-wrinkle forehead treatments can significantly improve the appearance of wrinkles and horizontal lines on the forehead. A smoother, more youthful appearance can be achieved by relaxing the muscles that cause these wrinkles.
At Beauty by Doctor in Bondi Junction, Sydney, our experienced team of cosmetic physicians and clinicians can help you achieve natural-looking results that soften forehead lines without freezing your expressions. We understand that a subtle approach is key to maintaining a natural look, and we will tailor the treatment to your specific goals.

What can I expect during my forehead treatments? Are they painful?
The forehead wrinkle-reducing procedures at Beauty by Doctor are quick and relatively painless. A topical numbing cream can be applied to numb the area before injection, but most patients do not require it.
You may feel a slight pinch or prickling sensation during the treatment, but most patients tolerate the procedure well. Happy gas is available for those with low pain tolerances.

How long does a treatment take?
The forehead procedure itself typically takes only 10-15 minutes. However, the consultation with the BBD team to discuss your goals and answer any questions you may have will take additional time.

What is the downtime after forehead wrinkle-reducing treatments, and what kind of aftercare is required?
There is minimal downtime associated with forehead treatments. Redness, swelling, or bruising may occur at the treatment sites, but these side effects typically disappear within a few days.
Following your treatment, we will provide you with specific aftercare instructions. These may include avoiding rubbing or massaging the injection sites, but you can usually resume your normal day to day activities straight away.

How many treatments will I need?
The number of forehead treatments you will need will depend on the severity of your wrinkles and your desired results. In general, most patients see optimal results after one treatment. However, some patients may require touch-up treatments a few weeks after the initial treatment.

How long after the treatment will I see results?
You may begin to see results from your forehead injection treatment within a few days, with full results typically achieved within 7-14 days.

How long do the results last?
The results of forehead treatments typically last for 3-4 months. The duration of the actual results can vary due to individual factors such as your age, muscle activity, and metabolism. Maintenance sessions are usually scheduled every 6 to 16 weeks.

What is the typical cost of wrinkle-reducing forehead treatments?

At Beauty by Doctor in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs, we offer competitive pricing and consultations to discuss the cost of treatment based on your individual needs.
