FOREHEAD

The forehead is one of the most commonly treated areas of the face in aesthetic medicine. Commonly referred to as the “upper third”, this expanse – from the hairline to where the brows begin – is a canvas for some of our most expressive facial movements, as well the location of a significant amount of tension. Treating the underlying muscles is therefore key to ensuring an upper-face that looks, and feels, well-rested.

UNDERSTANDING
THE UPPER
THIRD

Forehead

The main function of the forehead muscle is to elevate the eyebrows – therefore treatment to this region, such as Forehead Lines or Frown Lines must take the patient’s facial dynamics into account. After all, when we relax the forehead muscle, our ability to elevate the brows is diminished – and this will lead to the eyebrows sitting in a lower position. To counteract this, it is almost always necessary to treat the frown muscles between the eyebrows (the corrugator and procerus) in addition to the forehead muscle (the Frontalis), which has the opposite effect.

THE ART OF
INJECTING

In some cases, if there is a lot of loose skin on the upper eyelids, then it is best to avoid treating the forehead muscle because it can make skin laxity on the upper eyelids worse. Where to inject, and how much to inject, is one of the most crucial decisions that a practitioner will make with any patient. This is why we believe in a doctor-led team, with exceptional levels of training, who perform these treatments on a consistent basis.
