FOREHEAD REJUVENATION

Deep forehead lines bothering you?

As we age, the bony structure of our skull can change, which can show up as hollows, furrows and grooves on the face.

A common area where this occurs is the forehead and frown area. With repeated movement of the forehead muscles, lines can form and become quite deep. Shallow static lines and dynamic lines respond well to anti-wrinkle injections.

Some lines can become so deep that they will not respond to anti-wrinkle injections and require dermal fillers to help lift these.

Pre-Treatment Phase

  1. Initial Consultation: The process begins with a thorough consultation with Dr Arun, who will assess your forehead structure, skin condition, and discuss your aesthetic goals.

  2. Medical Assessment: Your medical history will be reviewed to ensure you're a suitable candidate. Dr Arun will check for allergies, previous reactions to fillers, and any contraindications.

  3. Treatment Planning: Based on your facial anatomy and desired results, Dr Arun will develop a tailored treatment plan, selecting the appropriate type of filler and determining optimal injection points.

The Treatment Procedure

  1. Preparation: The forehead area is cleansed thoroughly with an antiseptic solution to minimise infection risk.

  2. Application of Topical Anaesthetic: A numbing cream is typically applied to the forehead and allowed to take effect (usually 5 minutes) to reduce discomfort during the procedure.

  3. Marking Injection Sites: Dr Arun will mark the specific injection points on your forehead while you're in a neutral facial position.

  4. Filler Injection: Using a fine/ blunt cannula, the low density dermal filler (hyaluronic acid-based) is carefully injected into the predetermined areas of the forehead. Dr Arun may use various techniques including:

    • Linear threading: Injecting the filler in a continuous line

    • Fanning: Injecting in a fan-like pattern from a single entry point

  5. Massage and Molding: After injection, Dr Arun will gently massage and mold the filler to ensure even distribution and achieve the desired contour.

  6. Assessment: Dr Arun will evaluate the results, often asking you to look in a mirror to ensure you're satisfied with the appearance.

  7. Final Adjustments: If necessary, additional filler may be injected to achieve symmetry and the desired results.

FAQs

    1. Initial Results: While some results are visible immediately, the final outcome typically appears after any swelling subsides (usually within a week).

    2. Duration: Depending on the type of filler used, results typically last between 6-18 months before the body naturally metabolises the filler.

    3. Maintenance Sessions: To maintain results, follow-up treatments are recommended as the effects begin to diminish.

    • Those with forehead hollowing: Individuals with areas of the forehead that appear sunken or hollow due to aging or natural bone structure.

    • People with horizontal forehead lines: Candidates with etched horizontal lines that remain visible even when the face is at rest.

    • Those seeking subtle contouring: Individuals looking to improve minor contour irregularities or asymmetry in the forehead region.

  • The actual forehead filler injection procedure typically takes between 15-30 minutes to complete. However, the entire appointment may last 45-60 minutes when including consultation, preparation, and post-treatment instructions.

  • Aftercare Notes:

    Needle entry points, redness, bruising, swelling and asymmetry around injection sites immediately after treatment is normal due to the very nature of the treatment.

    There may also be some tenderness present as the bruising and inflammation sets in. These symptoms will resolve over the next 2-7 days, depending on your individual response to the treatment. It may take a full 2-4 weeks for all swelling to settle; until this time we cannot re-treat.

    Immediate Effects (Day 1)

    The effects of forehead filler are visible immediately after injection. However, initial swelling and potential bruising may be present.

    Short-Term Results (Days 2-7)

    During the first week, any swelling or bruising will begin to subside. By day 7, you'll have a clearer picture of your results, though the filler may still be settling.

    Final Results (Days 7-14)

    The full, settled results typically appear within 1-2 weeks after treatment. At this point, the filler has fully integrated with your tissue, and any residual swelling has typically resolved.

  • No, the treatment is not very painful. We use a cannula to perform this treatment which is a blunt device which causes minimal trauma. Most people describe it as more of a pressure sensation

  • This can vary from client to client. Botox can do an excellent job of eliminating lines for clients with fine lines. For some clients with much deeper lines or lines that have been present for years, it can be challenging to eliminate lines. However, they can be lightened significantly. For those with profound lines, sometimes dermal filler can be used on the forehead and frown area.

  • For the majority of people, botox is an excellent treatment for forehead lines and wrinkles. However, botox will not be able to treat people with profound set lines that have been present for years. In these instances, a mixture of botox and filler can be used to treat these areas. When you come for a consultation, we can advise which treatments are best for you.
