Forehead Fillers

Forehead wrinkles and lines are perhaps some of the most visible signs of skin aging. This part of the face is very specific, as it often suffers from expression related degradation of the skin, which causes sagging and depressions (frowning, eyebrow movement, etc), but it is also quite susceptible to external factors, sun exposure first and foremost. Traditionally, anti wrinkle treatment in this zone is performed using aesthetical toxins, which tend to be very effective. However, in recent years, using filler for forehead wrinkle removal had gained more popularity, as safer alternative and a preferable option. But why?

Eliminating forehead wrinkles

Traditional methods for dealing away with sagging or wrinkle formation in the forehead area tend to be quite inconvenient. Lifting via threads is a method of pulling the skin physically. Another option is using plastic surgery to pull the whole scalp. Both of these options are very invasive and can cause the hairline to subside a lot making the whole look of the person very unnatural, not to mention that the ability to have expressions is very limited. Same goes for toxin treatment – while it is very effective in smoothing out fine lines (or deep ones, for that matter) or frown lines and it will definitely last longer than forehead fillers, it prevents the person from moving their forehead and expressing certain emotions. Plus, not everybody are comfortable with such for of anti wrinkle treatment.

This is where forehead wrinkle fillers come into play. They are easy to use, offer instant results and require no down time. Curiously, this is the only part of the face, where all three groups of filler products are used – soft, medium and dense.  This is because the skin lines and folds in the same zone can vary drastically depending on how severe the condition of the skin us, in general.

A beautiful wrinkle-free forehead

Thank being said, more often than not, issues are treated with soft fillers on forehead lines, as their viscoelasticity and flowability make them the excellent tool to deal away skin depressions in an area where there isn’t much muscle of other tissues between the skin and the skull, meaning the risk of forming lumps with a denser filler are higher. Forehead filling with thick Hyaluronic gel is usually limited to the most severe instances of glabellar lines or to the sides at the temples.

In that regard, it is worth noting the three main issues which are treated with HA gel for filling:

1. Horizontal forehead lines – raising one’s eyebrows makes the skin of the forehead Over time this muscle contraction causes the formation of visible horizontal lines on the skin, in which case, utilizing via applying a soft filler forehead lines are temporarily “hidden”.
2. Frown lines (a.k.a. Glabellar lines) – these skin depressions are formed from frowning and squinting expressions and most often form between the eyebrows. This area car be treated with anything from soft to dense dermal filler for forehead application as their severity will vary greatly.
3. Skin laxity – it is usually caused by natural aging. Fine lines are not the only problem that comes with age. With time, the skin loses its ability to produce enough collagen and elastic. The immediate and unfortunate effect of this is the reduced firmness. Fillers for forehead wrinkles which provide lifting effect are recommended, preferably with a skin boosting properties, as well.

The typical filler used in this part of the face is based on Hyaluronic acid. HA gel creates the most naturally looking “filling” effect and at the same time improves local hydration. Over time body enzymes dissolve the gel and the released Hyaluronic molecules are absorbed by the skin, allowing it to retain more moisture and improving its overall hydration. Depending on the filler forehead anti wrinkle treatment can be made even more effective if combined with the proper mesotherapy or of the filler itself contains additional beneficial agents like nutrients, amino acids, collagen booster, etc.

Finding the right filler

Due to the specific area, a careful evaluation should be performed by the dermatologist or certified beauty professional handling the procedure. While facial treatments using a filler allow for a lot of room for consideration what the person wants in terns of results, not having to worry about the side effects, from a purely aesthetic perspective, it’s a very good idea to let your treating expert to chose and buy the correct solution for your use case. This is the only way to ensure that via utilizing the correct dermal fillers forehead before after comparisons will look better on the latter.
