Forehead wrinkles are a common cosmetic problem. And not only age. Quite often they appear in young people - this is due to too active facial expressions, the habit of frowning or raising eyebrows.
Modern cosmetological methods help to cope with this problem: forehead lift, injections of drugs based on hyaluronic acid. In our BL clinic you can undergo correction of forehead wrinkles at any convenient time.
Forehead rejuvenation
If you are thinking about how to remove wrinkles on the forehead and are looking for the best method, you will find our short review useful. Our cosmetologists use the following methods and approaches:
Contour plastic surgery (injection of fillers)
Forehead contouring with fillers involves the introduction of special preparations based on hyaluronic acid into problem areas. These drugs (we use, for example, Juvederm, Surgiderm, Revofil, Profhilo) make it possible to replenish the missing volume. In addition, hyaluronic acid promotes deep skin hydration and stimulates the production of its own collagen and elastin. As a result, the skin becomes denser, firmer and more elastic, wrinkles disappear.
Contraindications: skin diseases, severe endocrine disorders, bleeding disorders.
Botox
The injection of botulinum toxin is a popular technique. This substance has the unique ability to deeply relax the muscles to which the skin is attached. Thus, after injections, wrinkles formed due to moving facial expressions smooth out on their own (after all, mobility is temporarily limited). This method is especially good if you have a habit of raising your eyebrows or frowning. The effect of Botox injections lasts for about six months (sometimes longer), and during this time you can get rid of the bad habit.
Contraindications: allergic reactions, severe endocrine diseases, rash and inflammation in the area of drug administration, pregnancy, lactation.
Liquid mesothreads
Liquid threads are a biogel based on hyaluronic acid and zinc chloride, and also contain a phosphate buffer. The components of the drug act at the cellular level, restore the water balance of the skin, and stimulate the renewal process. Mesothreads trigger the process of collagenogenesis, and a dense natural frame is formed in the injection area, which holds the tissues and prevents them from deforming. Mesothreads differ from traditional threads in that when introduced, mechanical tension does not occur. The tightening effect is based on deep hydration, restoration of normal tissue structure, and restoration of volume in areas where it is needed. The effect is approximately the same as when injecting fillers for wrinkles on the forehead .
Contraindications: severe endocrine diseases, chronic skin diseases, rash and inflammation at the injection site.
Technique
Contour correction of the face with fillers can be carried out in different ways. At the same time, the technique of administering the drug directly depends on what goals are being pursued. The most effective and frequently used are the following:
- Linear-retrograde technique. It is used to smooth out deep wrinkles and correct the lower third of the face, in particular to eliminate wrinkles above the upper lip. It consists of inserting a needle parallel to the skin at the site of formation of a wrinkle or fold along its entire length. The injection of the drug is carried out at the moment of its reverse stroke, which ensures complete filling of the crease with filler.
- Fan technique. It has much in common with thread lifting or thread lifting, since it involves the introduction of fillers from one point along lines diverging in different directions. This technique allows you to fill the deficit in facial tissue volume.
- Bolus technique. It is used to increase the volume of the cheekbones, chin, eliminate nasal wrinkles and smooth out the nasolacrimal groove. It consists of inserting a needle strictly perpendicular to the surface of the skin and injecting filler at the periosteum.
- Net. This technique involves introducing filler along lines that intersect each other at right angles. It is most effective for correcting mild to moderate wrinkles, including those on the forehead, cheeks, marionette lines, nasolabial folds, etc.
- One injection technique. It involves the use of a microcannula, which is a thin and very flexible tube with holes on the sides and a blunt end. Thanks to its use, it is possible to minimize the degree of trauma to facial tissues, since there will be only one puncture in each area that needs correction. By redirecting the cannula, the doctor delivers filler through it to the required places, and since it is quite flexible, moving the cannula inside the tissues does not lead to injury to the blood vessels, which makes facial correction even safer and more painless. At the same time, the use of a cannula ensures the most accurate distribution of filler within the tissue, which guarantees a natural result. Therefore, this technique is used very often, especially for the correction of the brow ridges, temples, cheekbones, bridge of the nose, and the area around the mouth.
After the procedure
Immediately after the injections, slight swelling may appear, and sometimes there are also small bruises at the puncture sites. There is nothing you need to do about this; it usually goes away on its own within a few days. In the first week, it is not recommended to sunbathe or visit the bathhouse or sauna. It is also better to refrain from physical activity and drink alcohol.

Contraindications
Of course, the first question the specialist will ask you will be about the presence of allergic reactions and the drugs that cause these reactions. But in the case of fillers, it is not enough to limit ourselves to only this issue. Injections also have a number of other contraindications that are typical for most surgical interventions:
- endocrine disorders,
- diabetes,
- problems with the immune system and the like.
By concealing the presence of any contraindications, including allergies, from the doctor, you can, at a minimum, get an unsatisfactory result, and at a maximum, get anaphylactic shock. To avoid seals at injection sites, allergic manifestations and other unpleasant consequences, before the procedure it is very important to undergo a high-quality medical examination and rule out the presence of one of these diseases.
It should be noted that many are frightened by the terrible consequences of using fillers, based on nothing. The body's reaction to fillers is strictly individual and cannot be categorically determined for everyone. To reduce all the risks listed above to zero, you definitely need to check your body in advance.
Beauty injections for the area around the eyes
The eye area ages due to insomnia, stress, “crash diets” and unfavorable heredity. All these factors lead to loss of tissue volume and the appearance of dark circles.
Muscle overactivity causes the formation of wrinkles - crow's feet, which respond well to Botox. Deeper lines can be treated with hyaluronic acid dermal fillers.
The delicate nature of the skin around the eyes is the main concern of cosmetologists. Often, after the introduction of fillers, uneven contours and lumps are observed. Due to the rich subcutaneous choroid plexus, bruising often occurs. Therefore, if you decide to contact a cosmetologist, you should definitely inquire about his qualifications and look at albums with photographs taken before and after procedures that any experienced specialist has.
How to get rid of glabellar wrinkles at home
The main task when working with an interglabellar wrinkle is to independently learn to relax the muscle that wrinkles the eyebrow . This will help:
- Special exercises for the face: pinching, “train”, pulsation combining elements of face-building and self-massage. Remember that wrinkles can only be removed if they are performed regularly.
- Massage: blood flow helps relax the muscle. A relaxed state helps to “remember” it and subsequently control facial expressions.
- Taping: special elastic adhesive strips. Fixing relaxed muscles for smoothing out creases and remembering the state of muscle relaxation.
- Preparations with botulinum-like peptides: the most famous founder of the group is Argireline; several botulinum-like peptides have now been synthesized, working on the same principle - temporary blockade of acetylcholine receptors and prevention of impulse, as a result of which muscle contraction also becomes impossible. The result is that wrinkles are smoothed out.
The advantage of synthetic peptides is the complete absence of side effects and effective removal of facial wrinkles. When applied to the skin of the face, the muscle relaxant effect does not occur immediately, but after about 3-5 days and reaches a maximum by the 28th day of use.
Example of a drug with peptides:
DermaQuest peptide facial serum - a powerful rejuvenating effect for the skin of the face and around the eyes. 60% consists of peptides.
When exactly is it needed:
- Expression wrinkles on the face and around the eyes – botulinum-like peptides – Botox effect;
- Wrinkles - creases - filling from the inside - peptides stimulate the synthesis of dermal matrix components, replenishing the missing volumes in the deep layers of the skin and are capable of filling the space of the dermis with collagen during regular use. Thus eliminating wrinkles and giving elasticity to the skin;
- Bags under the eyes – complexes against puffiness and pigment deposits under the eyes – eliminates dark circles and bags under the eyes;
Contains complexes of moisturizing, soothing and restorative effects that help remove dryness and tightness of facial skin.
The first results of use are visible after 10 days.
The advantage of the serum : it will get rid of wrinkles without injections; if injections are made, it will prolong their effect over time.
Prevention
Attention to your appearance (when it does not take on obsessive forms) is an important detail in maintaining youth. You can correct wrinkles in a timely manner by resorting to botulinum therapy, carry out skin-renewing peelings, moisturize the skin with courses of mesotherapy or biorevitalization, and undergo beauty programs with professional cosmetics. Cosmetologists have long been saying that preventing age-related changes, like timely prevention of diseases, works.
Anti-aging procedures are selected individually in each case. On average, mesotherapy and biorevitalization are carried out twice a year. Superficial acid peels 1-2 times every six months. Botulinum therapy - once every six months.
RF lifting
The long-known and very effective radiofrequency procedure is constantly being improved and implemented in new devices. RF lifting is a radio wave heating of deep tissues, due to which the processes of collagen synthesis, which is responsible for elasticity and firmness, are activated in them, and has a pronounced rejuvenating effect. Modern devices offer gentle heating, which works not to destroy and subsequently regenerate, but to stimulate skin renewal. For example, Genius from Lutronic
has a patented intelligent rejuvenation technology. Artificial intelligence helps to strictly adhere to exactly the power of influence that the doctor selected in each specific case. And for greater efficiency, radio wave energy is delivered through a variety of attachments with microneedles (for the face, the area around the eyes, working with scars, for the body, delicate areas). Rehabilitation after such exposure is minimal: 3-4 days.
Course of procedures:
2-3 with an interval of at least two weeks.

Eyebrows - fillers and botox will make your face younger
The aging process causes eyebrows to droop. Injecting fillers allows them to be raised. The result is a more youthful facial expression. The increase in volume should be done in such a way that the desired curved contour is obtained.
The filler is injected just below the lashes using an anterograde technique where the needle is advanced forward through the eyebrow. The effect of the procedure lasts 9 months or longer.
Botox, injections of which additionally “erase” fine wrinkles, also effectively helps to raise eyebrows.
Lips are the most common area where beauty injections are used.
One of the most popular areas for filler injections is the lips. This procedure is performed even by very young patients.
With age, lips lose their fullness, clarity of contour, anatomical shape and proportions. They become narrow, pale and flat. Using fillers, you can replenish lost volume and restore a pleasant aesthetic appearance.

If desired, lips can be made fuller. However, it is not worth increasing the volume significantly. With excess filler, they look ugly, and add extra years to young girls.
After plastic surgery with fillers, it is important to follow your doctor’s instructions.
The most important thing to remember is that after visiting a specialist, be sure to strictly follow all the recommendations given by the doctor! Otherwise, the result is not guaranteed. Neglecting the requirements for the recovery period can lead to uneven distribution of the drug or failure to obtain the much desired volumes and forms. An important rule is that you must categorically abstain from drinking alcoholic beverages and foods for the day after surgery. For four days after the procedure, a ban on facial massage and the use of blood thinning drugs (like aspirin) is imposed. And for a month - no sauna or solarium. Approach the doctor's requirements consciously, and the result will not be long in coming.
Beauty injections for the frontal area
The following problems occur in this part of the face:
- Glabellar lines are vertical wrinkles between the eyebrows. Successfully eliminated with the help of fillers. The use of Botox has an excellent effect. These procedures can remove almost all wrinkles in the area between the eyebrows.
- Horizontal lines of the forehead. There are two types, each of which requires its own correction method:
- Dynamic, caused by muscle work. They respond well to treatment with botulinum toxin.
- Non-dynamic, associated with loss of tissue volume. Remove with filler. Botox does not affect such changes.
These measures will make your forehead smooth, eliminating all types of wrinkles.
