What causes forehead wrinkles?

Forehead wrinkles start to become noticeable in our 30s. Initially, forehead lines only show when we raise our forehead, but these lines begin to show with time even when we are not moving our forehead. Forehead wrinkles are caused by repeated movement, sun damage, normal aging, and genetics.

How to get rid of forehead wrinkles?

The best treatment for forehead wrinkles are neuromodulators such as Xeomin, Botox, and Dysport. Xeomin, Botox, and Dysport are FDA-approved for treating dynamic wrinkles such as forehead lines, frown lines (11s), and crow’s feet. Xeomin, Botox, and Dysport temporarily inhibit muscle movement, which prevents the formation of wrinkles. Dynamic wrinkles are lines caused by muscle movement, such as raising your forehead or smiling.

What are the benefits of Xeomin, Botox, and Dysport?

• Erase fine lines and wrinkles
  • Forehead Lines
  • Frown Lines (11s, between your eyebrows)
  • Crow’s Feet (lines around your eyes)
• Refreshed appearance in just 1 week
• Minimally invasive with no downtime or recovery

Xeomin, Dysport, or Botox Results for your Forehead

Forehead lines can be significantly reduced and even erased with Xeomin, Botox, and Dysport. In just one week, you will notice your forehead lines fade substantially, and some will even see these lines disappear. Results depend on the extent of your wrinkles and the strength of your muscles. Sometimes multiple treatments are needed to achieve a significant improvement. Treatment results typically last 3.5 months, and some patients still notice benefits at 6 months.

What else do we use Xeomin, Botox, and Dysport for?

• Facial Contouring – Do you use makeup for contouring? We use Xeomin, Botox, and Dysport at St. Louis Dermatology & Cosmetic Surgery. These treatments can enhance the appearance of your cheekbones by narrowing the soft tissue below to create a more contoured look. We place injections into your masseter muscle to help sculpt your lower face and accentuate your cheeks.
• Brow Lift – Want an eyebrow lift without the surgery? We use Xeomin, Botox, and Dysport to give you a non-surgical eyebrow lift for a more refreshed look. We relax the muscles pulling your eyebrows down, which gives your eyebrows a natural lift.
• Nefertiti Lift – The Nefertiti Lift was named after Queen Nefertiti, an Egyptian Pharaoh revered for her beauty and power. We use Xeomin, Botox, and Dysport to relax the muscles pulling down on your jawline as well as the muscles that cause neck bands. This produces a lifting and tightening of the jawline and a toned and smooth neck without surgery.
• TMJ, Teeth Grinding, or Jaw Pain – If you have TMJ (temporomandibular joint disorder), grind your teeth at night, or wake up with pain in your jaw, you might notice a significant improvement with Botox. Your masseter muscles, which help you chew, may be overactivated and enlarged. We use Xeomin, Botox, and Dysport to help these muscles relax. This helps improve your TMJ, teeth grinding, or jaw pain. Patients are amazed at the results this treatment provides.
• Gummy Smile – Do your gums show when you smile? We can relax the overactive muscles pulling up on your lip with Xeomin, Botox, and Dysport. When these muscles are relaxed, only your teeth will show when you smile. We are not dentists, but we all love a beautiful smile!
• Golf Ball Chin – When you contract your chin, does it look like a golf ball? We can help you with golf ball chin by relaxing your chin (mentalis) muscles using Xeomin, Botox, and Dysport. This will provide you a beautiful smooth chin.

Are Xeomin, Botox, and Dysport safe?

Yes, Xeomin, Botox, and Dysport are the most common aesthetic procedures performed, with more than 1 million people having received injections. Complications from Xeomin, Botox, and Dysport are uncommon when performed by board-certified cosmetic dermatologists.

The most common side effects include:

• Bruising at the injection site
• Temporary eyelid droop (ptosis)
• Headache

What is the difference between Xeomin, Botox, and Dysport?

Xeomin, Botox, and Dysport are both neuromodulators FDA approved for treating fine lines and wrinkles of the forehead, glabella (frown lines), and eyes (Crow’s feet). Each product works similarly to inhibit muscle movement, which improves the appearance of wrinkles. Overall, these products are very similar and neither has been shown to produce superior results to the other. At St. Louis Dermatology & Cosmetic Surgery we offer treatment with all neuromodulators.
