FOREHEAD LINES & FROWN LINES
Forehead lines and frown lines are some of the earliest and most common signs of facial ageing. They form as a result of repeated facial expressions, combined with a gradual loss of skin elasticity and collagen. Over time, these lines can deepen, becoming visible even when the face is at rest.
At Heath Clinic, Belsize Park, we take a personalised approach to treating forehead and frown lines. Whether your goal is prevention, softening early lines or addressing deeper wrinkles, we create a tailored treatment plan designed to restore balance while preserving natural facial movement.
Our focus is always on subtle, refined results that allow you to look fresher without looking frozen.
What causes forehead and frown lines?
These lines form in the upper third of the face where muscles repeatedly contract during expression. Forehead lines run horizontally across the forehead and are often caused by lifting the eyebrows. Frown lines, or glabellar lines, appear vertically between the eyebrows and are associated with frowning or squinting.
Over time, the combination of muscle movement, sun exposure and decreased collagen leads to creasing of the skin that eventually becomes permanent. Genetics, stress and lifestyle factors can also play a role in how early these lines appear and how deeply they form.
Our Treatment Approach
Botox
(Anti-Wrinkle Injections)
Botulinum toxin is the most effective and widely used treatment for forehead and frown lines. It works by temporarily relaxing the facial muscles responsible for creating dynamic wrinkles.
When precisely injected, it softens lines and prevents further creasing, while maintaining natural movement
and expression.
Treatments are highly individualised. We adjust the dose and placement depending on your muscle strength, facial shape and desired result.
Regular treatments can help prevent the formation of deeper static lines and contribute to a more youthful and relaxed look over time.
Skin Health
and Support
For patients with deeper or long-standing lines, we may combine botulinum toxin with skin regenerative treatments to improve the quality and
resilience of the skin.
This could include:
• Secret RF to remodel collagen at a deeper level and firm skin that
has lost elasticity
• SkinPen Microneedling with Exosomes to stimulate collagen and
smooth skin texture
• Polynucleotides to support skin
healing and elasticity
• Moxi Laser for gentle resurfacing and softening of etched lines
• Medical-grade skincare, such as retinoids or peptides, to maintain results between treatments
By combining muscle relaxation with skin support, we address both the cause and the effect of forehead
and frown lines.
Preventative and
Early Treatment
Botox is increasingly used as a preventative treatment in patients in their late twenties and thirties who want to soften movement before deeper
lines set in.
Early treatment can delay the formation of permanent creases and maintain smoother skin long-term.
We will always take the time to assess whether treatment is appropriate based on your skin, lifestyle and goals.
We believe in a light-touch approach that evolves with you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Botulinum toxin is the most effective treatment for softening both forehead and glabellar lines. For deeper lines, we may combine it with microneedling, laser or skin boosters to enhance results.
No. Our technique focuses on preserving natural movement. The goal is to soften lines while maintaining your ability to express yourself fully and comfortably.
Results typically last between three and four months. With regular maintenance, some patients find that their muscles become less overactive over time, allowing for longer intervals between treatments.
The injections are very quick, and most patients feel only a small pinch. Numbing cream can be applied if needed, but most people tolerate it well without.
While skincare and regenerative treatments can improve skin quality, botulinum toxin remains the gold standard for treating expression lines caused by muscle activity. A consultation will help determine the best approach for you.
This depends on your skin, facial movement and personal goals. Some choose to start in their late twenties to early thirties as a preventative measure, while others begin when lines become more prominent.
There is minimal to no downtime. You may have slight redness or swelling at the injection sites for a few minutes after treatment, but this settles quickly.
