Why muscle relaxants and not fillers for wrinkles on the forehead?

  • If you want to fill in the lines/grooves on your forehead or your frown, you are better off with a treatment using muscle relaxants (such as Botox). Because you will use the muscles of your forehead and frown less hard, the lines/grooves caused by them will also disappear like snow in the sun.
  • Fillers are not actually used to fill "wrinkles" on the forehead or at the frown. This is because the risk of complications from using fillers in this area is much higher than using muscle relaxers.
  • Moreover, these forehead wrinkles/grooves or frown lines are due to our expression and facial expressions. So they are dynamic wrinkles, and you can only get rid of them by acting on the muscles with muscle relaxants so they contract less hard.
  • Only when the frown lines are too deep, by which we mean that they are almost literally "pits," can one opt to use a muscle relaxant first anyway and then possibly fill with filler. But few doctors will opt for filler in the forehead area because the risk of complications is too high.
  • A possible complication of filler treatment in the forehead area and frown area can be blockage of a blood vessel. Because very important blood vessels run right next to the frown line, people will therefore opt for a muscle relaxer instead of a filler. Safety first, right?

Why fill or spray away forehead wrinkles or frown lines?

  • After the age of 25, we all experience the moment when we look in the mirror and suddenly spot the first wrinkles on our face. Often we spot the first wrinkles at the forehead. Especially in people whose eyebrows are working overtime or in people who naturally have a serious/ angry look this is the case.
  • Below you can read about how wrinkles on the forehead occur, when you need a injectable forehead treatment and when it is better to opt for a botox treatment. In addition, we also explain how an injectable is applied to the forehead.
  • Anyway, you obviously want to know exactly how to get rid of those pesky wrinkles on your forehead. No worries, we've got you! Let's dive in, so you know the steps you can take to get rid of forehead lines and that annoying frown line that makes everyone think you look angry.

How do wrinkles form on the forehead?

To know how to treat them, you obviously need to know how forehead wrinkles form. There are several processes that contribute to the formation of fine lines on the forehead.

Forehead wrinkles caused by skin aging

A first important process, of course, is that of skin aging. Simply put, from the age of 25, the skin loses collagen and elastin, which the skin less firm is. Because the skin is less firm, wrinkles also appear more quickly.

A good tip for when you want to look young for as long as possible? Pay attention to external factors that accelerate skin aging. Think smoking, stress and especially sun damage. The best advice we can give you?

Stay out of the sun and apply sunscreen SPF 50 (no, the SPF 15 in your day cream is really too light). Nothing looks better in your fifties than sunscreen in your twenties. This is because exposure to UV rays causes the skin to produce more enzymes that break down collagen. Moreover, without sunblock, you also get free brown spots due to the increased production of melanin. So, grease for your life!

Expression wrinkles

In addition to skin aging, expression is another reason why wrinkles form on the forehead. Especially people who frequently raise the eyebrows or often look angry often get permanent lines on the forehead and between the eyebrows.

Let's also make a distinction here between forehead wrinkles and frown lines. A frown line is located in the extension of the nose. They occur because we bring the eyebrows together: in other words, frown.

Forehead wrinkle or frown wrinkle?

Forehead wrinkles are the horizontal lines you see on the forehead. These are caused by raising the eyebrows. It is also perfectly possible to have both a frown line and forehead wrinkles.

A final cause that contributes to whether or not you have wrinkles is your DNA. Some people have an inherited predisposition to it, while others look 20 years old for years.

Filler or botox treatment?

What's the best way to tackle forehead lines? With a botox treatment or with a filler treatment? Botox and fillers , in fact, have different effects. The only thing they have in common is that they injectables are: you apply them into the skin by injecting them.

Botox treatment for fine wrinkles

We use muscle relaxants (such as Botox/ Azzalure) for fine wrinkles and often even preventively, to prevent wrinkle formation. Why muscle relaxants can help reduce wrinkles and prevent wrinkle formation?

For that, it is best to take a look at the effect of muscle relaxants. They actually literally do what they say: slacken or relax the muscles. As a result, the muscles will contract less, which will reduce the raising of the eyebrows and thus reduce the formation of grooves.

If you inject Botox even before you have real wrinkles, you can prevent expression wrinkling. So a Botox forehead treatment is really not only for people who already have wrinkles and can also be useful for younger people.

Filler treatment for deep wrinkles

However, Botox is not a miracle drug that can make wrinkles disappear, especially if you are dealing with very deep wrinkles, when you start botox too late. What can provide relief then? Fillers! They fill up the skin through their unique action, making wrinkles disappear like snow in the sun. Beware: this is not without risks and the doctor will always work with botox first and only later will he consider whether a filler is really appropriate in this area.

Fillers are therefore mainly used for deep static wrinkles such as the nasolabial fold or lifting the corners of the mouth. We also use them to accentuate certain facial features, to enlarge the lips, to eliminate puffiness or to make cheekbones stand out better. With fillers, you can naturally contour your entire face more. For this, it is important that you have the treatment performed by competent and specialized doctors.

What happens during treatment with fillers

Everyone has heard of a filler treatment. But what can you expect from such a treatment? What exactly is a filler and how is it applied? Read all about filler treatment below.

What is a filler?

A filler consists of water and hyaluronic acid. This is a substance naturally found in the skin . This makes a filler treatment very safe. The hyaluronic acid also only stays in your body for a short time.

Temporary fillers

The fact that the results of treatment with fillers are temporary and therefore not permanent is because it is a substance that is already present in our skin anyway. Our body breaks down that substance over time. Therefore, the result of the treatment disappears over time.

There is a certain type of filler for each place on your face. It is the doctor who determines which type of filler to use. The firmer the filler, the longer it will stay in the skin.

Because fillers are temporary, you have to repeat the treatment after a few months to maintain the results. By the way, the same is true for Botox: its effect is temporary, so you have to repeat the treatment after some time. With Botox, you can count on 3 to 4 months at most depending on the result you had in mind.

Personally, we like the natural botox better: I look good and no one knows I've been toxed. Then keep in mind that the result will last just a little less long, just because you are not completely sagging the muscle.

How do you apply a filler?

In a treatment with fillers, we inject hyaluronic acid via tiny punctures into the face at the level of the area you want to treat, in this case the forehead. They help fill in wrinkles on the forehead and thus reduce them. This allows you to restore your youthful appearance.

However, as you can read above, in 90% of cases we will opt for a muscle relaxant treatment of your forehead lines and frown lines rather than a filler treatment.

Frequently asked questions filler forehead

What does a filler do in the skin?

Once the filler is applied, it will attract moisture to the injected area. By attracting moisture, the skin gains volume and looks fuller. Wrinkles are straightened and in the injected area you get smoother skin.

The results of repairing the skin at the forehead are visible after about 3 days and after 10 days you will see the full results of your botox treatment.

When you inject fillers into the forehead you have immediate results. You do have the best results when you reduce the strength of the muscles, and this takes a few days.

Short-term side effects of treatment

After forehead treatment, you may experience swelling and the area may feel somewhat painful after the procedure. In addition, redness is also a side effect seen in some patients. Injectables treatments are usually very well tolerated and are booked by many women and men even in "afternoon breaks".

What the side effects and risks of treatment are, you will discuss with the doctor before treatment. In that conversation, you can also present your personal wishes. That way, both you and the doctor are well prepared for the treatment.
