For many people, forehead lines and other dynamic facial wrinkles can appear in what seems like overnight — and once people notice them, it can be hard to focus on much else when looking in the mirror.

How does BOTOX work for forehead lines?
Like Crow’s feet and frown lines, forehead lines are classified as “dynamic wrinkles,” referring to lines and wrinkles that develop as a result of many years’ worth of repetitive muscle movements and facial expressions, and begin to linger even with the face at rest. When injected into the muscle responsible for a particular expression, BOTOX works to temporarily paralyze or relax it, which forces the surface lines and wrinkles to relax as well. The forehead is one of the most popular areas to inject BOTOX, as forehead lines are often the first — and most prominent — to appear on the face. Additional treatment areas for BOTOX include:
- Glabella (between the brows)
- Crow’s feet (around the eyes)
- Frown lines
- Smile lines
How much younger does BOTOX make you look?
BOTOX results can vary from patient to patient based on a number of individual factors, including age, skin elasticity, the nature and severity of facial wrinkles, and others. Generally speaking, patients may expect to regain a fresher, more youthful appearance that can help their features look many years younger after getting BOTOX.

How long does it take BOTOX to start working?
Another important thing to keep in mind when considering BOTOX is that the results will not be visible right away. Instead, you should start noticing your lines and wrinkles appearing smoother about 3 – 4 days after your appointment, with the optimal effects of BOTOX becoming apparent after about 7 – 10 days.
How long does BOTOX last in your forehead?
Forehead BOTOX injections — as well as BOTOX elsewhere on the face — typically provide up to 3 – 4 months’ worth of a smoother, more youthful look. Once you begin to notice your BOTOX wearing off, repeat injections can help to restore your desired appearance. For patients who prefer to avoid the return of unwanted lines and wrinkles between BOTOX appointments, our knowledgeable team can help recommend a routine BOTOX treatment schedule that helps them enjoy a consistently smooth look over the long term.
