Treatment of frown lines with Botox in Frankfurt - for a younger and more relaxed appearance

You are probably familiar with frowning as an expression of astonishment or thoughtfulness. But over time, such facial expressions become visible signs of ageing. If lines appear on your forehead even when you are relaxed, you may be looking for a way to regain your youthful appearance.

Treatment with botulinum toxin (Botox®) is an effective method for smoothing forehead wrinkles. You can find out more about this procedure below.

Why do wrinkles appear on the forehead?

Wrinkles are caused by the movement of your facial muscles, for example when you raise your eyebrows. These wrinkles normally disappear as soon as you relax your face again. However, as you get older, your skin loses elasticity, so these wrinkles remain visible even when you are at rest. The lines on the forehead in particular, which often express worry or tension, make you look older. Sun exposure also accelerates skin ageing and contributes to the appearance of wrinkles.

When does it make sense to treat forehead wrinkles?

Forehead wrinkles are one of the most noticeable types of wrinkles as they are often deep and long. Many people find them disturbing and feel that their self-confidence is impaired. In such cases, a minimally invasive Botox treatment can help. We will advise you individually in our practice in Frankfurt to find the right treatment for you.

How does Botox® work to smooth wrinkles?

Although many skincare products promise to reduce wrinkles, they often only achieve limited results. Botulinum toxin is injected specifically into your forehead muscles and blocks the nerve impulses responsible for the formation of wrinkles. This relaxes the muscles and the skin appears smoother. The mobility of your forehead remains intact.

Advantages and course of treatment

Botox® can be used to specifically reduce the muscle movements that lead to forehead wrinkles. This gives you a smoother, more youthful appearance. The treatment takes about 20 minutes and is virtually painless. An anesthetic can be applied on request. You can return to your everyday life immediately after the treatment.

Possible side effects

If the Botox® treatment is carried out by an experienced doctor, the risks are minimal. Occasionally there may be slight redness or swelling, but this will subside quickly.

After the treatment:

What you should bear in mind After treatment, you should avoid strenuous physical activity, sauna visits and intensive sunbathing for the first 24 hours. To relieve swelling, you can cool the area slightly. The effect sets in after 3-5 days and lasts for around six months.
