Disease description:

Today, while looking in the mirror, I noticed that my forehead wrinkles—particularly the horizontal lines that appear when raising the eyebrows—have become especially prominent. This wasn’t the case before. Recently, I’ve been massaging my forehead regularly, but there’s been no improvement. I’d like to know: what causes forehead (elevated-brow) wrinkles?

Hello, frequently touching the forehead with your hands can stretch the skin and lead to the formation of horizontal forehead lines (also known as “elevated brow lines”). Similarly, prolonged exposure to intense sunlight accelerates skin aging and contributes to wrinkle development. Dehydration of the forehead area and general malnutrition can also promote the appearance of these lines. Treatment options for forehead lines include hyaluronic acid (HA) injections. This procedure not only effectively reduces existing forehead wrinkles but also hydrates and moisturizes the skin, enhancing its elasticity. Results typically last from six months to one year; for longer-lasting effects, repeat injections are recommended. I hope this information is helpful. Wishing you good health!
