Botox is a good choice to help soften forehead horizontal wrinkles. If there are very prominent then a small touch of Restylane along the lines will break up the total length of the line and improve its appearance. (Paul Vitenas, Jr., MD, Houston Plastic Surgeon)
Botox works terrific for horizontal forehead wrinkles. These wrinkles are causes by resting (passive) and motor (active) animation of the forehead.
Even if you have a brow lift proceedure you will still have motor activity in your muscles which will begin to work against the good results of your surgery.
I start my browlift patients of botox usually 6-9 months after the browlift surgery. In younger patients who are not browlift candidates botox therapy can hopefully delay the need for eventual brow surgery and certainly ease the problem of horizontal forehead wrinkles.

Botox For Forehead Wrinkles Price
Botox removes the horizontal wrinkles of the forehead. Wrinkles of this nature are caused by expression or animation of the face, such as raising the eyebrows in suprise, and over the years these become apparent even when the face is relaxed.
Botox works to weaken or paralyze the muscle so the lines soften and will ideally dissapear. (Neil J. Zemmel, MD, FACS, Richmond Plastic Surgeon)
Botox for Forehead Lines
Botox helps to soften the lines in your frown area and forehead. The exact treatment designed for you will be determined in consultation with your cosmetic physician. If the wrinkle is permanent, even when your face is relaxed, you may also require filler.
I also recommend seeing a medical aesthetician and skincare expert who may be able to help reduce the appearance of those wrinkles with another option. Laser skin treatments or micro needling may help. (Jerome Edelstein, MD, Toronto Plastic Surgeon)
Can Botox Fix Forehead Wrinkles
Botox treats forehead wrinkles
Botox absolutely works great for forehead lines! Especially in someone as young as you, I have seen it really smooth out a forehead. See a doctor to determine if you are a good candidate. It is very effective. (Daryl K. Hoffman, MD, San Jose Plastic Surgeon)
Botox cosmetic effective for wrinkles on forehead
The frontalis muscle “raises” the brow creating dynamic wrinkles or wrinkles due to movement. Overtime this will result in lines at rest or repose. The goal with Botox is to create a gentle relaxation of the frontalis muscle which raises the brow thus you will have movement yet softer lines at rest.
Aslo, chemical peels, fraxel treatments and a Retinol combined with Vitamin C (topical) and Alpha hydroxy acids will further improve lines of the face. (Kevin Tehrani, MD, FACS, New York Plastic Surgeon)
Botox acts on the frontalis muscle and leads to its relaxation. This will make the horizontal lines (caused by the tension in this muscle) to improve or disappear. (Hisham Seify, MD, PhD, FACS, Orange County Plastic Surgeon)
Botox excellent for horizontal lines
Botox is an excellent treatment for horizontal forehead lines. Remarkably, this takes a relatively low dose of Botox to achieve marked improvement in the forehead lines. There are two precautions in regards to forehead treatment:
1) If your brow is low then relaxing it may make it seem even lower. In this instance you may achieve a better improvment with a forehead lift.
2) If you excess upper eyelid skin (dermatochalasis), you may have excess forehead wrinkles because your are compensating for the excess eyelid skin byu trying to lift your brows.
Does Botox Prevent Or Get Rid Of Forehead Lines
Botox for Horizontal Forehead Wrinkles Works Well
In my practice, the forehead is the second or third most popular area to get Botox, just after the glabella (area between the eyebrows) and crow’s feet (squint lines next to eyes). Botox works very well to relax and soften the horizontal wrinkles of the forehead.
Done correctly, you should still be able to raise your eyebrows when you are surprised. Find a well-experienced, board certified doctor if possible. (Steven Svehlak, MD, Los Angeles Plastic Surgeon)
Gets Rid Of Forehead Lines
I have been using Botox to remove lines and wrinkles in the face, including the forehead for over 20 years and yes, Botox or Dysport works great for reducing the horizontal lines of the forehead. This is a large area and will require more units of Botox than say the Crows Feet or the Glabella if your forehead has many or very deep lines.
You may also initially want to avoid having the Botox placed to close to the eyebrows to avoid eyebrow droop. (Francis R. Palmer, III, MD, Beverly Hills Facial Plastic Surgeon)
Botox for transverse forehead lines
Botox works well for transverse forehead lines presuming the lines are dynamic, not static. To tell the difference, if the lines are present when your face is completely relaxed, the lines are static and the benefit of botox is going to be minimal.
Make The Lines Less Noticable
Botox works by interfering with the signal the nerve sends the muscle to contract, so all wrinkles that are only present with muscle contraction, should do well with botox, but not the ones present when your face is relaxed. (Emily Altman, MD, Short Hills Dermatologic Surgeon)
Botox works beautifully on the Transverse Forehead Lines
Tranverse forehead wrinkles are caused by the repeated shortening of the muscle which lifts the brows “opening” the eyes. The extreme example of this is the REALLY surprised look. Weakening this muscle will smooth the wrinkles.
However, weakening the Frontalis muscle must be done very carefully since many people have these wrinkles because they have excessive forehead skin that needs to be held up for them to be able to see.
In such cases, the muscle works extra hard all the time, creating the transverse lines, just so they can see. Weakening the muscle drops the brows, resulting in a sleepy look and obstruction of the visual field and people having to cock their heads back just to be able to drive.
Be careful with who does your Botox injections. If at all possible have a Plastic surgeon do your Botox. (Peter A. Aldea, MD, Memphis Plastic Surgeon)
Botox can minimize forehead wrinkles
Botox can definitely relax the forehead muscles and diminish horizontal lines there. You need to have a surgeon evaluate you first as some people depend on the forehead muscle to routinely elevate their upper eyelids.
Cases like that might only be able to have “Baby Botox” injections as a compromise. (Darrick E. Antell, MD, Manhattan Plastic Surgeon)
