Botox Cosmetic Injections For Forehead Lines
Considering Botox Cosmetic Injection for your forehead lines? Read below to see if you need botox cosmetic injections.
Get a friend to stand in front of you. Ask him to raise his eyebrows. The horizontal lines you see on his forehead are commonly called forehead or surprise lines. These, although you may imagine will only form when you are surprised, are surprisingly (no pun intended) present in a lot of people who are not. They very often present in slightly older people whom, when age comes, have a problem of droopy eyebrows, and unconsciously raise them in order to see better. And this action results in a permanently surprised look on the face. However there is another group of younger persons who, perhaps unconsciously, try to look more alert to their colleagues, or perhaps to increase their field of vision, tend to look very surprised or earnest all the time. These are the ones who will benefit from botox cosmetic injection for forehead lines.
Again, it must be stressed that botox cosmetic treatments come in the form of injections. Average Asian foreheads will need roughly 12 – 16 units of botox cosmetic injections to reduce (not eliminate) forehead lines. The Caucasian forhead needs about one and a half times that due to thicker muscles and broader foreheads, and if the need is there to completely obliterate the forehead lines, one may need to double that dose.
Usually multiple tiny botox cosmetic injections are given from one side of the forehead to the other, in three rows, starting upwards from a row about 1/3 of the way between eyebrows and scalp margin, about 6-8 shots into the forehead muscle per row, and 1-2 units per shot.
Never try this on your own. We are not responsible for any mistakes that happen, and you need to consult a qualified doctor who is licensed to give Botox cosmetic injection for this.
The effect comes on about 4 days after injections, and tends to last about 4-6months. However sometimes one has to come back for follow up about 1 week after the injections for a top-up, where undertreatment can be corrected with a further botox cosmetic injection.
