Forehead Botox: Smooth Horizontal Lines & Subtle Brow Lift
Forehead Botox is one of the most frequently requested neuromodulator treatments at Skin Vitality—and for good reason. It helps soften forehead lines, ease frown creases, and refresh the upper face with a natural, relaxed look. For many clients, it’s a simple way to feel brighter, smoother, and more confident without changing their natural expression or resorting to surgery.
Botox for Forehead Lines, Frown Wrinkles & Brow Furrow
Forehead lines and glabellar creases often appear long before any of us expect them. Stress, concentration, and everyday expressions can create lines that make the face look tired, tense, or more serious than intended. Forehead Botox gently relaxes the muscles responsible for these creases, helping restore a calmer, smoother look that still feels authentically you.
At Skin Vitality, our approach is subtle and personalized. Each treatment is customized to your unique muscle movement, facial balance, and aesthetic goals. Whether you’re preventing early lines or softening ones that have settled in, our team is dedicated to creating results that look clean, smooth, and natural.
What Is Forehead Botox?
Forehead Botox targets the frontalis muscle—the muscle that lifts your brows and creates the horizontal lines across your forehead. By relaxing its movement, the skin appears smoother and more rested while still maintaining natural expression. Most clients also treat the glabella (the “11s” between the brows) for balanced results and even a subtle brow lift in many cases.
What Forehead Botox Helps With
Forehead Botox doesn’t just handle one problem—it tackles all the major movement lines across your upper face, including:
- Smooths horizontal forehead lines
- Softens glabellar “11s” and frown creases
- Reduces the appearance of a constantly “tense” or “stressed” expression
- Provides a subtle, refreshed look to the upper face
- Can support a more open, lifted brow appearance
How Forehead Botox Works
Botox is injected into specific points across the forehead and brow area to temporarily reduce muscle activity. This softens the lines formed by repeated expressions while maintaining natural movement. Many clients begin noticing improvements in 3–5 days, with full refinement appearing at about two weeks.
Most individuals require small, precise amounts tailored to their muscle strength, brow position, and overall goals; dose varies based on anatomy and movement.
Preventative Forehead Botox
Many clients in their 20s and early 30s choose Botox preventatively to help slow the formation of deeper forehead wrinkles. Preventative treatment helps maintain smoother skin, minimize etched lines, and support long-term facial balance. A consultation helps determine whether preventative treatment is the right approach.
What to Expect: Treatment Experience & Aftercare
During Treatment:
- Takes 10–15 minutes

Aftercare Tips:

Forehead Botox FAQ's
Most individuals maintain refinement for about 3–4 months, though timelines vary with muscle strength, metabolism, and treatment frequency.
It helps soften lines caused by muscle movement. Deeper static lines may require a combination approach based on clinical assessment.
Yes. The goal is natural refinement, not a frozen look. Dose and placement are personalized to maintain expression.
There is typically no downtime. Clients usually resume daily activities immediately following treatment.
The forehead lifts the brows; the glabella pulls them down. Treating both areas often creates the most balanced and natural result.
Treatments vary based on anatomy, lifestyle and goals. Women can use 10–20 units for forehead + 15–25 for glabella. Men are usually 50% higher because of stronger muscles.
Only if over-dosed or injected incorrectly. Our injectors use conservative, male- and female-specific patterns to avoid heaviness and actually create a subtle lift in most clients.
