How to get rid of forehead creases?
Forehead wrinkles, creases and lines typically develop due to repetitive facial movements—such as raising your eyebrows—which over time cause permanent creases in the skin. This natural process is accelerated by aging, sun exposure, and loss of skin elasticity and collagen.
Although good skincare habits, including daily sun protection and using active ingredients like retinal (our favourite is the intensive nightly retinal from ilumae), can help slow down wrinkle formation, professionally addressing forehead lines usually involves treating the underlying muscle movements. By gently relaxing the overactive forehead muscles responsible for these lines, you can effectively soften existing wrinkles, reduce their visibility, and prevent them from deepening further.
At Contour Clinics, our experienced cosmetic doctors offer personalised consultations to understand your specific skin concerns. During your consultation, we carefully assess your forehead wrinkles, discuss the available options, and recommend targeted solutions designed specifically to smooth, soften, and rejuvenate your forehead naturally and effectively.
How are forehead lines treated?
Forehead lines typically form due to repeated movements of the frontalis muscle, which contracts every time you raise your eyebrows. Over time, these repetitive actions cause the skin to crease and fold, especially as collagen and elasticity naturally decline with age. This leads to the development of visible horizontal lines across the forehead.
At Contour Clinics, our experienced clinicians offer personalised consultations to assess the severity and cause of your forehead lines. Treatment typically involves targeting the underlying muscle activity responsible for creating these lines. By carefully and precisely relaxing this muscle, the overlying skin is able to appear smoother and more refreshed, while also helping to prevent lines from deepening over time.
Who’s an ideal candidate for forehead wrinkles treatment?
Many people seek forehead treatments for a variety of aesthetic reasons, aiming to enhance their overall appearance in a natural and balanced way. Some of the most common motivations include:
-
Smoothing the forehead area, helping to reduce the visibility of fine lines and create a more relaxed, refreshed look.
-
Improving skin texture and appearance, resulting in a more even, youthful surface that reflects light better and appears healthier.
-
Minimising forehead creases, which can help prevent makeup from settling into lines, reducing cracking and creasing throughout the day.
-
Achieving a subtle lift in the brows, opening up the eye area for a more awake and lifted expression—without the need for surgery.
Our consultations are tailored to understand your unique goals and facial anatomy, ensuring that any treatment recommended is both effective and natural-looking.
How to get rid of wrinkles on forehead naturally?
While completely removing forehead wrinkles naturally can be challenging, several lifestyle changes and skincare habits can noticeably soften their appearance and prevent further deepening:
-
Stay Sun-Safe: Daily use of a broad-spectrum SPF protects your skin from UV damage, one of the primary causes of premature aging and wrinkles.
-
Consistent Hydration: Keeping skin well-hydrated both internally (by drinking plenty of water) and externally (using moisturisers containing hyaluronic acid) helps maintain skin elasticity and smoothness.
-
Include Retinal in Your Skincare Routine: Retinal (a vitamin A derivative) promotes natural collagen production, smoothing skin texture, and visibly reducing fine lines over time.
-
Reduce Repetitive Facial Expressions: Becoming mindful of habitual facial movements—like frequent eyebrow-raising—can minimise the development of deeper forehead wrinkles.
-
Balanced Diet and Lifestyle: Foods rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and healthy fats can support healthier, younger-looking skin. Reducing stress, avoiding smoking, and getting quality sleep also contribute to natural skin rejuvenation.
At Contour Clinics, we offer personalised consultations to discuss how you can naturally support your skin health and explore tailored solutions for smoother, more youthful-looking skin.
