Horizontal Forehead Lines are wrinkles that appear on your forehead; between the brows and the hairline. These lines stretch out horizontally across your forehead in rows. They appear when the brows are raised when the skin of the forehead scrunches up. After many years of scrunching up, these wrinkles can gradually stay visible even without the eyebrows raised.<\/p>\n
What\u2019s more, the more expressive you are (i.e. raising your eyebrows), the easier it is for you to stack up rows of the wrinkle.<\/p>\n
Horizontal forehead lines can appear when you raise your brows. These are called dynamic lines. The lines fade away when your brows return to a neutral position.<\/p>\n

Over the course of many years of frequent brow-raising, these transient lines gradually become a permanent fixture on your forehead, slowly turning into static lines.<\/p>\n
Treatments for dynamic lines differ from static lines. More on that later.<\/p>\n

Aging aside, the most common cause of these lines is the repetitive movement of the forehead muscles<\/a>, raising the brows and upper eyelids, while wrinkling the forehead in the process.<\/p>\n Other factors that contribute to the formation of horizontal forehead lines include aging, weight loss, sun damage<\/a>, and smoking.<\/p>\n As you age, you lose volume in your facial fat compartments. These pockets of fat also slide down, giving you a saggy, sad look. These factors, along with sudden weight loss, can contribute to the formation of horizontal forehead lines.<\/p>\n Sun damage, or photoaging, is the premature aging of the skin caused by exposure to the sun\u2019s ultraviolet radiation (UV). Other artificial sources of UV rays also contribute to photoaging, which might be more prominent in sunny countries like Singapore, for example.<\/p>\n UV rays (UVB and UVA) damage the DNA in the outer layer of your skin, as well as the deeper epidermal cells, skin collagen, and elastin. This accelerates the formation of lines and wrinkles on the skin.<\/p>\n Cigarette smoke<\/a> contains carbon monoxide that displaces vital oxygen in your skin, as well as nicotine, which reduces blood flow. This leaves skin dry, discoloured, and more likely to result in wrinkles. Smoking also cuts your skin\u2019s access to nutrients such as vitamin C, which is crucial for skin repair and rejuvenation.<\/p>\n As dynamic wrinkles, or at the stage when they only appear during muscle movement, they are best treated with a wrinkle relaxer such as Anti Wrinkle Treatment.<\/p>\n When they have turned into static lines, a combination of fillers and Anti Wrinkle Treatment can help alleviate the look.<\/p>\n Anti Wrinkle Treatment<\/a> helps by blocking the nerve signals in the forehead muscles, limiting their activities and hence preventing wrinkle formation. Patients typically require 8 to 20 units of toxins or more, depending on the individual*. Getting Anti Wrinkle Treatment in Singapore<\/a> can be an option because there are various reputable aesthetic clinics in Singapore with licensed doctors to help with the appropriate skin tightening treatments for your skin.<\/p>\n Fillers are used to fill and even out static wrinkles on your forehead.<\/p>\n *Unit dosage differs from brand to brand (i.e. Xeomin, Anti Wrinkle Treatment).<\/p>\n Treatment for horizontal forehead lines is more popular with women. This is because of current beauty ideals, where women are seen to look better with a smoother forehead.<\/p>\n Men, on the other hand, can in some opinion look \u201cover-Anti Wrinkle Treatment\u201d with a completely smooth forehead. With male beauty ideals<\/a>, it is considered better to soften these lines so that they are still visible but not completely erased. They are seen to add character and maturity to a man\u2019s face.<\/p>\n Having honed her medical and surgical skills in Ireland and across the straits, Dr Sue has, since 2006, worked in Singapore\u2019s public hospitals, including Singapore General Hospital, Tan Tock Seng Hospital, and National University Hospital.<\/p>\n Sue\u2019s passion for aesthetics was sparked by a chance encounter with Dr Kelvin Chua, founder and medical director of SL Aesthetic Clinic.
