Question: I have unsightly lines and
wrinkles on my forehead. Is it possible to have these
removed or the appearance reduced?
Answer: We all develop some form of
forehead wrinkles through the source of time. This is often
the result of dynamic facial expression, or the descent in
eyebrows, with our attempt to hold eyebrows up to maintain our
vision. Various procedures can help with this depending on
the cause for the wrinkles. If the wrinkles are mostly
caused by muscle contraction, a very easy & simple office
procedure that helps minimize these wrinkles is Botox
injections. This weakens the muscle that causes these
wrinkles. Other procedures that lighten the skin can also
reduce the wrinkles, such as laser or chemical peels. If the
wrinkles are formed because of the patient constantly attempting
to elevate the eyebrows, then often times a brow
lift will be performed.
