In the medical beauty industry, forehead rejuvenation and wrinkle removal have always been a popular treatment. As you age, your forehead will lose collagen, and many fine horizontal wrinkles and glabellar lines will appear on the forehead. These wrinkles make people look old and affect the overall beauty of the face, especially when you raise your head, your wrinkles become more noticeable. The wrinkles on the forehead will become more serious.
Whether it is congenital or acquired, the appearance of forehead wrinkles and other problems seriously affects a person's appearance. For these problems, beauty clinics will provide patients with a variety of treatment options, among which the most popular ones are fillers (Forehead Filler) and Botox.
Fillers mainly create a full forehead by increasing the volume of subcutaneous tissue, while Botox reduces dynamic wrinkles by relaxing muscles. The two treatments are very different, so when choosing a treatment that suits you, you need to consider all aspects.
Read this article to find the treatment that suits you.
Forehead Filler
Principle
Forehead filling mainly increases the volume of the forehead by injecting fillers, stretching the skin, reducing or eliminating wrinkles, and making the forehead skin smoother, making the forehead look fuller and rounder.
Someone did an experiment and injected fillers into one of two wrinkled tomatoes. After the injection, the peel became smooth, plump and fresh, in sharp contrast to the other reference.
Fillers usually include hyaluronic acid, poly-L-lactic acid, autologous fat and other materials.
l Hyaluronic acid is the most common filler choice, often used for injections on the face, buttocks, and chest. It can achieve the effect of wrinkle removal on the epidermis and increase the volume of the treatment area, because it has good biocompatibility and can be naturally metabolized by the human body. If you are not satisfied with the effect after injection, you can use hyaluronidase to dissolve it, so the effect is reversible.
l Poly-L-lactic acid mainly improves forehead depression and wrinkles by stimulating collagen proliferation. The effect is more lasting than hyaluronic acid. The production of collagen will have a natural wrinkle removal effect and make the skin more delicate and smooth.
l Autologous fat filling is to extract and inject your own fat into the forehead. Some fat can survive for a long time and achieve a more lasting improvement effect. This method is more traumatic than the previous two methods.
Suitable People for Filler Forehead Injection
Many people will consider using injection fillers to achieve wrinkle removal effects. Are you suitable for using fillers? Consider several aspects to measure. Forehead filling is suitable for the following groups of people:
l The forehead is naturally flat and sunken. If you want to create a fuller and three-dimensional forehead shape, the injection of fillers can increase the volume of the injected area, so it can effectively create a full forehead effect.
l The both problems of forehead depression and wrinkles can be solved by fillers. People with these troubles can choose forehead filler injections.
l The forehead has mild to moderate static wrinkles, that is, wrinkles are still visible on the forehead even when the face is expressionless.
l People seek a forehead that harmonizes better with their overall facial contour.
Effect and Duration
Some people pay attention to the duration of the effect when choosing whether to receive medical beauty treatment. The effects and duration of different types of fillers are different:
Hyaluronic acid filling: The most commonly used type of filler, which has a quick effect. The filling and wrinkle removal effects can be seen immediately after injection. It can generally last for 6-12 months, and then it will gradually be absorbed by the body and needs to be supplemented regularly.
Poly-L-lactic acid: By stimulating collagen proliferation, the skin repairs itself. The effect gradually appears after 2-3 months and can last for 1-2 years.
Autologous fat filling: Some fat can survive permanently, so it is a permanent wrinkle removal operation. However, 30%-50% of fat may be absorbed after fat transplantation, so multiple injections are usually required to achieve the desired effect.
Side Effects and Risks
As the needle needs to be inserted and injected, there may be slight swelling, bruising, and redness at the insertion site, which generally subsides within a few days to a week.
Due to patient requests or improper operation by the operating physician, hyaluronic acid filling may be over-injected, which may cause the forehead to be too full and unnatural, and a plastic surgery face.
If the doctor does not operate properly, the filler may be unevenly distributed, resulting in an uneven forehead.
In rare cases, blood vessel blockage may occur, affecting local blood circulation.
Cost of Forehead Filler
The cost of forehead fillers varies depending on the material, doctor experience, and geographic location, but the general price range is as follows:
Hyaluronic acid fillers: $300-$800 per session
Poly-L-lactic acid fillers: $600-$1,500 per session
Autologous fat fillers: $2,000-$5,000 per session

Forehead Botox
Principle of Botox
Botox is a well-known medical beauty treatment. Botox is a neurotoxin that paralyzes the muscles at the injection site by blocking the signal transmission between nerves and muscles. For example, when injected into the forehead, it paralyzes the nerves of the forehead muscle, thereby reducing the formation of dynamic wrinkles.
Unlike fillers, botulinum toxin does not increase the volume of the forehead, so it does not change the shape of the forehead, but simply reduces dynamic wrinkles and makes the forehead look smoother.
Therefore, patients who do not want to change the volume of their forehead can choose to use botulinum to achieve the effect of removing forehead wrinkles.
Applicable people for Botox injection
Used for removing dynamic forehead wrinkles, that is, wrinkles caused by facial expressions or raising their heads.
Suitable for people who do not want to change the shape of their forehead but want to reduce wrinkles.
Suitable for most people with forehead wrinkles or wrinkles in the brow ridge, and those who pursue obvious effects.
Maintenance time of Botox injection
Compared with filler injections, Botox injections have a shorter maintenance effect time. The specific time is:
It starts to take effect about 3-7 days after injection, and the best effect is achieved in about 2 weeks.
The maintenance time is generally 3-6 months, and repeated injections are required to maintain the effect.
Side Effects and Risks
Due to the special nature of Botox, multiple injections or failure to control the amount of injection will produce some unoptimistic effects.
l Local bruising and redness may occur, which usually recovers within a few days.
l If the injection is improper, especially in the upper eyebrow area, it may cause a stiff expression or drooping eyebrows.
l Long-term and frequent injections may cause muscle atrophy, making the forehead look thinner.
Cost of Forehead Botox Injection
The cost is generally $200-$800/time, depending on the number of injection units and the doctor's experience.
Unit charge: $10-$20/unit (the forehead usually requires 10-30 units)
Forehead Filler vs. Botox: How to choose?
When choosing between forehead filler or Botox, you need to decide based on your needs and facial condition.
If you have a prominent forehead depression and want to create a fuller contour, fillers are a better choice. Hyaluronic acid fillers can have immediate effects, while autologous fat fillers can provide longer-lasting effects.
If you are mainly concerned about dynamic wrinkles on the forehead and do not want to change the shape of the forehead, Botox is more suitable.
If you want to improve the condition of the forehead comprehensively, you can consider combined treatment. First use fillers to improve the shape of the forehead and make it fuller, and then use Botox to reduce dynamic wrinkles to achieve a more natural and coordinated effect.
Budget factors also need to be considered. Fillers are more expensive but last longer, while Botox is cheaper but requires regular injections.
Consult a professional doctor who can provide personalized advice based on the specific situation.
