Forehead wrinkles can make you look older than you feel. These horizontal lines on your forehead can make you seem tired or upset even if you’re in a great mood. Botox is a miracle-working treatment that can quickly and effortlessly erase forehead lines and make you look 10 years younger
## What Causes Forehead Wrinkles?
Forehead lines and wrinkles are usually caused by muscle movement, particularly the frontalis muscle that controls your eyebrows. Meanwhile, the procerus muscle and corrugator muscle can contribute to forehead lines and frown lines between the eyebrows. When you furrow your brow or raise your eyebrows in surprise, the muscles and skin of your forehead will move too. Over time, these movements can cause permanent lines along your forehead. 

As part of the natural aging process, your skin also starts to lose its elasticity. Collagen production slows as well, further reducing the elastin that keeps your skin from bouncing back. After years of moving with the muscles, your skin stops bouncing back after moving.

Sun exposure is another major cause of forehead wrinkles. UV light can damage elastin fibers in the skin, reducing elasticity and even creating sunspots or other skin damage.
## Botox for Forehead Lines 
Forehead Botox can relax the muscles in your forehead and eyebrows to reduce the appearance of wrinkles across your forehead. Botox temporarily relaxes targeted muscles so that your skin can smooth out over these muscles.

Botox for forehead lines will not freeze your face. You’ll still be able to raise your eyebrows and make facial expressions. But some muscles will be less responsive, so even when you raise your eyebrows, your forehead will stay smooth and wrinkle-free. 
## How Long Does Forehead Botox Last?
After your injection, you should see results within two to three days. One to two weeks later you will see the full effect of your Botox treatment, and you’ll know if you need any touch-ups.

Botox for forehead wrinkles lasts between three to six months. You’ll need to work closely with your injector to set your follow-up schedule and plan your next injection at the perfect time. 
## How Many Units of Botox are Used to Treat Forehead Wrinkles?
Forehead wrinkles are often fine lines that respond well to low doses of Botox. On average, a Botox treatment for forehead wrinkles uses between 15 to 30 units of Botox. Do you want to treat your 11 lines at the same time? These deeper creases between the eyebrows may need a higher dose. You may receive up to 40 units of Botox for frown lines.
## Is Botox for Forehead Lines Safe?
Botox is a safe treatment option to reduce wrinkles. The risk of side effects is low, but you may experience some redness or swelling right after treatment.

Working with a skilled injector will make your treatment safe. Botox for forehead lines can go wrong. If you’re not getting Botox from a trained professional, you may get some unwanted side effects like drooping eyelids or even uneven eyebrows.
