Are you bothered by the horizontal wrinkles on your forehead? It can cause you to look older. With a botox treatment, these lines can soften or even disappear!
Forehead wrinkles are the horizontal wrinkles in the forehead. They are formed by the raising of the eyebrows. Often people do not realize how often they raise the eyebrows during the day. Especially people who are very expressive in the face while talking often unconsciously raise the eyebrows. When the eyebrows are raised, the forehead muscle contracts, creating horizontal wrinkles in the skin. Over time, these wrinkles will also be visible in a neutral facial expression. This can be very distracting as they cause the face to age considerably.
Botox is a muscle relaxant that causes the forehead muscle to temporarily contract less hard. Because the muscle no longer contracts properly, wrinkles can no longer form in the skin. As a result, the skin becomes smoother and tighter. Forehead wrinkles can thus be both reduced and prevented.
The ideal time to start botoxis when the forehead wrinkles become visible in a neutral facial expression. In fact, from this moment on, the wrinkles will only deepen. The botox at this time will not only make the wrinkles disappear, but also has a preventive effect on getting deeper wrinkles at a later age.
On average, muscle relaxants remain effective for 3 to 4 months. At JECT Clinics we offer besides the regular botox Azzalure also Alluzience, which can be longer effective up to 6 months. After that time, the treated muscles will gradually start to work more and more. When the botox wears off, the treatment can be repeated. Repetition of treatment is important to maintain the best possible results.
