Many people are interested in Botox once their skin begins to show signs of aging. Whether these fine lines manifest as crow’s feet around the eyes, frown lines between the eyebrows, or forehead wrinkles, a regular dose of Botox can reduce them. Botox is an FDA-approved medical composition of botulinum toxin, an injectable neurotoxin that reduces muscle movement involved when making facial expressions. So, if you are particularly frustrated by forehead lines and don’t want to go as far as plastic surgery, a cosmetic treatment like forehead Botox will provide you with a beautiful rejuvenation!
Standard Units of Botox for Forehead Wrinkles
There are two main injection sites associated with forehead lines Botox: the central part of your forehead and the frown lines between your eyebrows, also known as the glabella. Whereas other injection sites require roughly 10-20 units, 20-40 units work more effectively for the facial muscles in your forehead.
Additionally, different people will require different dosages. Factors like age, sex, muscle configuration, and the extent of fine lines all play a role in determining the number of Botox units necessary. For instance, with men, the dosage required will be greater due to their increased muscle mass.
You may also be wondering how quickly you will see results after receiving Botox and how long those results will last. The first few days after your treatment, your skin might look red and blotchy and show signs of bruising. Once those symptoms subside, you will begin to see results, typically around the fourth day.
Statistically, it takes about one to two weeks for the forehead Botox to take full effect. Then the results will last between three to five months. For long-lasting rejuvenation, we recommend scheduling regular treatments and implementing proper aftercare to prolong the time before the collagen begins to break down. Aftercare instructions provided by your doctor may include limiting strenuous activity, applying sunscreen, proper skincare, and more.
