Conditions
Forehead Lines
Forehead lines, often known as frown lines or glabella lines, are common signs of ageing caused by repeated muscle movements and the natural loss of collagen and elasticity in the skin. At Define Clinic, we offer effective treatments to smooth and diminish the appearance of wrinkles, helping you achieve a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance.
What Are Forehead Lines?
They are vertical and horizontal creases that develop as a result of repeated facial expressions such as frowning, squinting or raising the eyebrows.
Over time, these expressions cause the skin to fold and crease, leading to permanent lines and wrinkles. Additionally, the natural ageing process causes the skin to lose collagen and elastin, resulting in decreased firmness and elasticity.
Understanding Forehead Lines
These lines are primarily caused by the repeated contraction of facial muscles, particularly the frontalis muscle, which raises the eyebrows and creates horizontal lines across the forehead. Factors such as sun exposure, smoking and environmental pollutants can accelerate the formation of wrinkles by contributing to the breakdown of collagen and elastin in the skin. Additionally, genetics and individual skin type can influence the severity and onset of facial lines.

FAQs
Are there any side effects?
While both anti-wrinkle injections and dermal fillers are generally safe procedures when performed by qualified professionals, they can carry some potential side effects. These may include temporary redness, swelling, bruising or discomfort at the injection site. More serious complications are rare but don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any concerns.
How soon can I see the results?
Results can vary depending on the individual and the specific treatment used. Typically, you may start to see initial results within a few days to a week after anti-wrinkle injections. Dermal filler results may be visible immediately but can improve over the following days as any swelling subsides.
How long do results last?
The duration of your results can vary. On average, anti-wrinkle injections typically last between 3 to 4 months, while dermal fillers can last up to 2 years before maintenance treatment is required.
Are injectables painful?
Injectables may cause minor discomfort or a slight stinging sensation during the procedure. However, our clinicians use topical numbing agents and gentle injection techniques to minimise discomfort and ensure a comfortable experience for our patients.
Can forehead lines be prevented, or are treatments only aimed at reducing their appearance once they have formed?
While it's challenging to prevent, there are measures that can help delay their onset or minimise their severity. These include maintaining a healthy lifestyle, protecting your skin from sun exposure, staying hydrated and avoiding repetitive facial expressions that contribute to line formation. Treatments like anti-wrinkle injections and dermal fillers primarily target existing lines but can also help prevent further deepening of wrinkles over time.
