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. However, suitable candidates generally are those who have:
- Visible forehead lines, especially those with deep and dynamic wrinkles
- General good health
- Are interested in a non-surgical procedure
You may need to discuss with your doctor about eligibility for the treatment options if you have:
- Active acne
- Previous facial surgical procedures
- Heavy or low-set brows
- Strong facial muscle activity on the brow
Will forehead wrinkles treatments hurt?
Forehead wrinkle treatments are generally well-tolerated, and at Contour Clinics, your comfort is our top priority. Thus, before the procedure begins, we apply a topical numbing cream to minimise any discomfort.
For those who are more sensitive or simply prefer added comfort, we also offer nitric oxide. This can be used as an optional pain management tool to help you feel at ease throughout the treatment.
Most clients describe the sensation as a light pinch or mild pressure that passes quickly. We’ll talk you through every step, and you’ll be in expert hands the entire time.
Will I see immediate results from forehead wrinkles treatements?
You won’t see results immediately after your forehead wrinkle treatment, as the effects take a little time to develop. Typically, you can expect to notice visible changes within 3 to 5 days, with full results appearing around the 10 to 14-day mark.
This gradual onset allows for a more natural-looking improvement, as the targeted muscles begin to relax and the overlying skin starts to smooth out.
At Contour Clinics, we schedule a follow-up appointment if needed to assess your results. From there, we can make any fine-tuning adjustments for optimal, balanced outcomes.
How long do the results last from forehead wrinkle treatments?
Results from your treatment will be seen approximately one week after treatment, and full effects are usually visible in 14 days. These results then last for approximately 3–4 months, after which most patients return to the clinic for re-treatment.
Can I get forehead wrinkle treatments while pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. We advise against muscle-relaxing treatments for those who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
What are the risks associated with forehead wrinkle treatments?
As with any cosmetic procedure, treatments for forehead wrinkles carry some risks. Yet, they are generally uncommon, especially when performed by experienced medical practitioners.
Possible risks or side effects can include:
- Temporary redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site, which typically resolves within a few days.
- Mild discomfort or tenderness, usually short-lived and easily managed with topical treatments or analgesics.
- Headache or mild heaviness, experienced occasionally by patients after treatment, but typically brief and self-limiting.
- Uneven or unexpected results, such as asymmetry or drooping, though these risks are significantly reduced with skilled, experienced injectors.
Talk with your doctor immediately if these side effects persist or you’re experiencing unexpected symptoms.
