Forehead frown lines

[Carlie]

Hi

I have a lot of very prominent forehead frown lines that I try to cover up with my hair but they still show. I have thought about having botox for a while but the pain of injections really worries me and has put me off so far. I have heard that Botox could get rid of forehead frown lines but I dont know how long it lasts for. I know its not permanent but if its lasts for a while its ok. I just want to minimize the number of times that I have to have new Botox injections. Could you please tell me if Botox works well for forehead frown lines and if it is likely to last for a while.

Thank you for your question.

The injections used for anti-wrinkle treatments are very fine and the depth of penetration is not that deep and so most people who undergo anti-wrinkle treatment feel very little discomfort. If you wish an anaesthetic cream can be applied to the area beforehand to anaesthetise the superficial areas of the skin pre treatment.
