Forehead Wrinkles: What to Know

Brow raising and frowning repeatedly fold the same skin, creating expression lines that may eventually remain visible when the face relaxes. Ultraviolet exposure, dry skin, smoking, and natural changes in skin support can make lines more noticeable. Forehead lines are one form of wrinkles; nearby eye lines are called crow's feet.

Apply moisturiser to reduce the emphasis of surface dryness and use broad-spectrum sunscreen every day. Avoid tanning and review products that cause stinging or peeling. If lines remain bothersome, a qualified clinician can assess movement at rest and discuss Botox or dermal fillers. The choice depends on anatomy, goals, health history, and the skill of the injector.

Seek a skin assessment for a line or mark that changes quickly, becomes scaly, bleeds, crusts, hurts, or fails to heal. Arrange review if a cosmetic treatment causes spreading redness, increasing pain, pus, fever, or new weakness.

Ask whether your lines are dynamic or present at rest, what improvement is realistic, how long swelling or bruising may last, and which risks apply to your facial anatomy and medical history.
