I treat forehead wrinkles with Botox every day in my busy dermatology practice in Miami. I have found in my 25 years as a dermatologist that you erase forehead wrinkles fastest with botulinum toxins alongside the proper skincare routine. If you get started early enough- you may be able to prevent forehead lines without Botox.
Fine lines on the forehead have many causes, but the most common are sun exposure and loss of collagen. Deeper brow lines are partially due to a lifetime of repetitive muscle movements. If you are in your 20s and you are getting deep lines when you raise your brows, then a combination of skincare that targets forehead lines and botulinum toxins are a good idea. If you do not want to get Botox injections, this blog will tell you how to treat wrinkles on your forehead without getting Botox injections. It is never too early to prevent skin aging, and the very best way to prevent forehead lines is a daily SPF in your skincare routine.
I can help you determine if you need antiaging skincare products and find the best products for your skin type. All you have to do is take our skin type quiz and see which of the 16 Baumann Skin Types you are. Once you know your skin type, you will get list of recommended antiaging skincare products from many different brands to choose from. These products can be used with or without Botox to make your skin look younger.

There are several ways to get rid of forehead wrinkles, but the best and fastest is with botulinum toxin A injections such as Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, Jeuveau, and Daxxify. However, what if you do not want injections, are afraid of needles, or cannot find a good dermatologist? These are the ways that skincare can help you get rid of fine lines on the forehead. These skincare products can be used with or without neuromodulator (toxin) injections.
No matter what cosmetic procedures you do, you will only get results if you are on the right skincare. I explain to my patients using this analogy. If you want to lose weight and you go to a weight loss spa, you may lose a few pounds but if you do not continue eating right everyday, the weight will come back. What you eat everyday matters more than the occasional spa visit. It is the same with skincare. If you put the right skincare on your skin everyday, the results add up. All dermatologists agree that Botox works best when it is combined with antiaging skincare products. But which antiaging skincare products work best on forehead wrinkles? I divide the different types of products to treat forehead wrinkles below. These are the same type of products that I use to prevent skin aging of my own skin. (I am a Baumann Skin Type 4)
Antiaging serums to treat forehead wrinkles should be chosen based on which skin issues you have. There are many types of antiaging ingredients to help erase lines on the forehead.

There are many different kids of antiaging creams and serums. How they work depends on which ingredients they have.

Below are examples of good antiaging serums to treat forehead wrinkles:

Hyaluronic acid (HA) serums are a type of humectant that works by pulling water to the skin's surface. Hyaluronic acid is a type of glycosaminoglycan. These serums can immediately improve forehead lines by plumping up the skin. Heparan sulfate analogue in the medical grade skincare brand Sente works in a similar fashion. (Heparan sulfate is also a glycosaminoglycan).
Although these humectants work quickly to get rid of forehead lines, the results are temporary. It is best to use retinol, vitamin C and HA together in some Baumann Skin Types. This is why it is so important to take our skin type quiz and identify your skin type - because there are so many good serums to treat forehead wrinkles- you need our dermatologist's guidance so you do not waste time and money on the wrong ones for your skin type. It is important for you to understand that HA serums will affect how other products in your skincare routine absorb into the skin.

Daily sunscreen of a SPF of at least 15 is critical to prevent forehead wrinkles from getting worse. There are many types of sunscreen. Below are a few of my patient's favorite daily sunscreens:
Studies have shown that in forehead wrinkles, the epidermis is thinner and there is less collagen, elastin and tropoelastin. (4,5) Movement of the forehead muscles leads first to wrinkles in motion and eventually wrinkles at rest. Botulinum toxins work by relaxing the muscles and preventing movement which improves forehead lines.
The causes of forehead wrinkles are:
To prevent wrinkling in your forehead, you want to make sure you are using the correct skincare for your skin type. Using the wrong products can result in inflammation which increases aging and can cause hyperpigmentation. You should definitely use a daily sunscreen. Ingredients like ascorbic acid and retinols can also help.
