Common Causes of Forehead Wrinkles

wrinkels botoxAs with many skincare concerns, age plays a big role in the development of forehead wrinkles.

However, the fact that elapsed time causes a decrease in collagen and elastin production does not mean that other factors are not at play. For example;

Excessive Sun Exposure

It gradually slows down the body's natural production of collagen and elastin, thus contributing to laxity.

Facial Muscle Strength

Repetitive forehead facial expressions cause forehead wrinkles. It is caused by the activity of the frontalis muscles, which allow you to raise your eyebrows.

In addition, looking at screens, stress, gravity, air pollution, genetics are also factors.

Can You Really Get Rid of Forehead Wrinkles?

wrinklesLike the age-old question of whether you can eliminate pores, you can't completely eliminate forehead wrinkles, but there are methods that can quickly and effectively reduce their appearance.

As we age, we lose collagen and elastin, which help our skin regenerate.

I would like to point out that we can offset or prevent some of this with topical treatments of retinoid, antioxidants, ceramides and other ingredients. When you use them, the skin does its best.

As a matter of fact, forehead wrinkles can be treated in different ways, depending on the severity of the condition and its initial cause.

Very fine and superficial lines can be healed with good skin care, including firm sun protection, topical retinoids/retinol, peptides and antioxidants. Botox is a wonderful form of treatment.

I would like to remind you that antioxidant serums containing vitamin C can also be useful for protection.

However, if there are already heavy, static lines in place, treatments such as resurfacing lasers, radiofrequency or fillers, botox injections can be applied to make a visible difference.

How to Prevent Forehead Wrinkles?

forehead wrinklesIf you ask almost any cosmetician how to prevent forehead wrinkles, they will suggest you start an anti-aging skincare routine.

The trick is knowing which products and treatments to include in your regimen, as well as when to put your skincare routine into practice.

As a general rule, you should start your preventive anti-aging journey between your 20s and 30s. Since genetics also plays a role in these wrinkles, it is difficult to give a precise target age.

However, you can talk to your mom and grandma about when they first started noticing fine lines and wrinkles. So you can avoid the genetic game.

Use Vitamin C and SPF Every Morning

wrinkles fillerSun exposure plays an important role in skin's youthful appearance. The more sun you get, the more dry, blotchy and flabby your skin can become over time.

That's why it's important to add ingredients to your routine that can help reverse some of the harmful effects.

I always recommend Vitamin C serums and at least sunscreen to boost collagen production, fight free radical damage, protect skin from UVA and UVB rays, help fade the appearance of dark spots and achieve brighter skin.

SPF 50 protection is fantastic to help protect against the daunting effects of the sun.

I also recommend wearing sunglasses that prevent squinting and frowning when outdoors for extra protection against wrinkles.

Use Products Loaded with Hyaluronic Acid

wrinkelsHyaluronic acid is one of the most admired ingredients in the skincare market, thanks to its ability to hold 1000 times its weight in water.

While this is incredible in terms of hydration, it helps minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles thanks to its plumping abilities.

Start Using Retinoids at Night

Retinol is a type of retinoid that is a derivative of vitamin A. It is an antioxidant used in anti-aging skin care products. Retinoids are essential in any anti-aging routine.

It can also be called a miracle cream because it provides solutions to many skin problems.

I would like to emphasize that it has been proven to promote collagen growth and should be used especially at night to reduce fine lines and wrinkles.

Since retinoids can cause sensitivity to the sun in the skin, the use of sunscreen in the morning should not be neglected.

Have a Professional Facial Routine

I love non-peeling fractional laser treatments. Gold needle is a skin rejuvenation and beautification treatment, also known as fractional radio frequency treatment.

Fractional radio frequency radio waves are one of the innovative techniques that have been safely applied on the skin in recent years and are also beneficial for forehead wrinkles.

Fillers and Botox for Instant Results

wrinkels fillerAt the end of the day, if updating your skincare routine with anti-aging ingredients, at-home treatments, and in-office facials isn't working, and most importantly, if you really want to put an end to your fine lines, fillers and botox will be your savior.

While neuromodulators like Botox are probably the first treatments that come to mind, if you're looking for something a little less aggressive, start with hyaluronic acid.

You get instant textural improvement with injectable hyaluronic acid. It plumps fine lines and wrinkles, softens overall skin, and adds volume.

With your anti-aging process, Botox is a neuromodulator that we use between the eyebrows, forehead and crow's feet.

When Botox is injected into the muscles, it binds to the receptors on the muscles so that your muscles do not receive the contraction signal.

Therefore, dynamic wrinkles, that is, those that occur when frowning, disappear. If you create fewer dynamic wrinkles, you will have fewer static wrinkles.

6D Star Strap Treatment For Forehead Wrinkles

forehead wrinklesOne of the effective ways to correct wrinkles and fine lines is the 6D Star Strap treatment. We get very good results, especially in non-surgical eyebrow lifting.

This procedure calms the muscles while keeping them in place. In turn, the skin turns into a smooth, wrinkle-free surface.

Similar to other treatments, the results are not life-long, but usually persist for about 2 years. 6D Star threads are placed under the skin and have anchors, cones to lift and reposition the skin.

The threads are made of materials that stimulate collagen, so you get skin rejuvenation with a gradual tightening and smoothing effect, as well as an immediate lifting effect.

But I can't say that it has a great effect on the forehead area, even my patients say that they have recently come across some advertisements claiming that when the threads are placed superficially, not under the skin, they correct wrinkles. We are not scientifically aware of such an effect.

Skin Rejuvenation Devices for Forehead Wrinkles

wrinkles before and afterI can recommend skin rejuvenation device-based treatments that help tighten the muscles from the surface down to forehead wrinkles.

Hifu / fiberu, ultrasound energy devices, which have the ability to raise both forehead and eyebrows, are a solution. How many sessions will be applied depends on the needs of the person.

If you've lost too much volume on your forehead and temples, or if your brow is too low, you may need a few rounds of laser skin tightening.
