Forehead wrinkles, or frown lines, are one of the most prevalent signs of ageing and are a common cause for concern as they can make you look tired or cross when you aren’t. While everyone will develop these wrinkles at some point, certain factors can accelerate their development. If you want to retain a youthful look, treating forehead wrinkles is a fast, simple procedure.
What are the causes of forehead wrinkles?
Lines and wrinkles on the forehead are caused by a muscle known as the frontalis. When you raise your eyebrows, the frontalis muscle contracts, causing wrinkles to appear. Over time, these wrinkles start to remain even when the muscle isn’t contracted.
A variety of factors can cause forehead wrinkles to worsen, such as smoking, age, and genetics.
At what age do forehead wrinkles appear?
Forehead wrinkles are typically associated with older age. However, they can start to appear in your twenties. They will be very fine lines, though many people now choose to treat them as a preventative measure. Most people find forehead wrinkles worsen in their thirties.
However severe your forehead wrinkles are, there are treatments available to help turn back the clock.

Exilis Ultra 360 can also noticeably improve the appearance of fine lines and sagging skin on the face and neck and is particularly effective for treating forehead lines and wrinkles.
RF energy breaks up the fat cells which are then flushed out through the body’s lymphatic system, so fat is permanently removed. The RF energy also stimulates collagen fibres, so the skin is tightened and toned.

Deep plane facelift surgery is the skillful uncovering of the anatomical plane under the muscles known as the Superficial Musculo-Aponeurotic System, SMAS (the fibrous tissue and the skin’s plasma). The facelift lifts this, all in one, upwards. As your surgeon will be working underneath your muscles, your skin remains looking natural, never stretched or tight.
