Botox
Will Botox help relax my forehead muscles to stop this dent?
Deep forehead wrinkles that are visible with no forehead movement may require both filler and botox for the best results. However, this is a high risk area for filler so make sure to find an experienced provider who will complete a thorough consultation and assessment.
Clinical Context
Static forehead lines form when skin creases from repeated muscle movement until the groove stays visible even at rest. Botox relaxes the muscle going forward, which can help the crease soften gradually as the skin stops folding, but it doesn't fill in the line itself. Filler can address the groove more directly by adding volume, though it takes time for swelling to resolve and the product to settle into place.
