Forehead wrinkles typically appear in two main forms: vertical lines above the nose, often called “the elevens” or glabellar lines, which result from actions like squinting, scowling, or concentrating. Horizontal rows across the forehead may arise from normal facial expressions during conversation, from stress-induced brow-raising using the frontalis muscle, or naturally over time due to continual muscle contraction. These lines can deepen significantly with age and repeated muscle activity.

Anti-wrinkle injections are a revolutionary anti-aging treatment approved for cosmetic use under the brand name Vistabel. It is widely prescribed by doctors worldwide to reduce wrinkles in the upper part of the face, including forehead lines, frown lines between the eyebrows, and crow’s feet around the eyes. The treatment involves using very fine needles to inject the toxin, which temporarily paralyzes the muscles responsible for causing wrinkles. There is no scarring, and patients can typically resume their normal activities immediately after treatment.

Anti-wrinkle injections work within a few days but can take as long as 14-21 days for the full paralysing effects to show through. Anti-wrinkle injections are not permanent, so we recommend repeat treatments at 3-6 monthly intervals to maintain the effects.

Thousands of these treatments are performed every year, with astonishing results – noticeable from 2-14 days afterwards and lasting several months.

To complement the lasting results of the treatment, we recommend the use of SPF30 sun protection cream, available at all pharmacists.

Over time, with regular botox use, the muscles will get thinner and weaken, which means they are less able to create the wrinkles in the first place. You may notice that the botox works more effectively and lasts longer with each subsequent treatment.

The discomfort from the injections is mild, and no local anesthetic is necessary. The needles used are very fine, approximately the same diameter as coarse human hair.

After your injections, you can drive and resume all your regular daily activities immediately. You might experience slight bruising at the injection sites, but otherwise, there will be no visible signs of your skincare treatment.

In rare instances, Anti-wrinkle injections can migrate to nearby muscles, causing temporary weakness such as drooping of the upper eyelid. This side effect typically lasts a few weeks at most.

Anti-wrinkle injections are occasionally prescribed to manage excessive sweating, although their effectiveness can vary. Unfortunately, it’s impossible to predict their impact before starting treatment.
