Forehead wrinkles - treatment recommendations

[Anonymous]

I remember going to the dermatologist office and seeing a bunch of old ladies with very shiny foreheads. I don’t know when having a smooth and shiny forehead became such a goal.

As someone with deep forehead wrinkles that I HATE, I did Botox for a few years but it wouldn’t work completely (wrinkles were more faint but still there) and wouldn’t last long. I have heard CO2 laser works. If anyone has done this, please share your experience!! I can’t see much online regarding this procedure specifically for forehead wrinkles but I have heard it’s the best laser specifically for wrinkles.

How is your diet and hydration? Do you smoke? Drink alcohol? Everyone forgets, but skin is an organ.

Thanks no one asked you.

Everyone is different with how they respond but light Botox that doesn’t freeze the face worked for me and I only need to get it every 6 months. Because I’m not getting much of it, I’m spending under $300 when I go, so somewhere around $550ish a year? There are med spas owned by licensed MD’s, so you could go to a dermatologist for a consult or a med spa with a licensed MD.

I get “baby” Botox 3x a year and a CO2 laser every 2 years and it made a huge difference in my forehead wrinkles. I started around 52 years old.

How about recommendations - does anyone have a cosmetic dermatologist they recommend or would not recommend? Thanks!

All are actually really good. But, when I was a kid, I spent way too much time outside without sunscreen and so it shows now.

1- what is “baby botox” vs regular botox?

2- what issue does the CO2 laser address vs IPL?

thanks!!

NP-i actually had iPL on Friday of last week. IPL addresses redness and pigmentation. IPL does not address forehead wrinkles.

NP - has anyone done ultra clear or a fraxel laser. I’ve been weighing those? Also, anyone been to a cosmetic dermatologist in the area they would recommend?

Any cosmetic dermatologist recommendatikns in the area for lasers or Botox? Would be great to know where people have had good, and even more importantly, not so great experiences?
