Forehead wrinkles can be a telltale sign of aging. Whether you have forehead wrinkles from a lifetime of raising your eyebrows, or years spent frowning, these lines above your brows can make you look older than you feel. The good news is that Botox can smooth away these wrinkles to make you fall in love with your face again. 
## Why Do You Develop Forehead Wrinkles?
Let’s start with the basics. Why do we develop forehead wrinkles in the first place? One cause of forehead wrinkles is repetitive muscle movement. These wrinkles are called dynamic wrinkles and they form as your muscles pull your skin into wrinkles. Facial expressions like raising your eyebrows, furrowing your brows, squinting, frowning, and even smiling can move the muscles in your forehead. Eventually, all this movement starts to show. Wrinkles in the skin become permanent, visible even when you’re not moving your forehead muscles. 
## How Does Botox Reduce Forehead Wrinkles?
Botox can smooth forehead lines and ease wrinkles. Botox injections contain a saline solution and the botulinum toxin. This toxin acts on muscles at the injection site, causing them to relax and stop moving. After a few days of muscle inactivity, the skin of your forehead starts to smooth. After about two weeks you’ll see the full results and enjoy smoother skin with fewer wrinkles.
## How Long Does It Last?
Botox results usually last between three to six months. If you’re new to Botox, it may wear off faster, as your facial muscles fight the Botox, causing it to break down faster. After a few injections, you’ll slowly train your forehead muscles to stay relaxed. Botox will last longer, and you may need fewer appointments. 
## Botox Results Are Visible Right Away
Some cosmetic treatments take several months for the results to appear. Botox makes a difference in just a few days. You will notice some changes in about two days, and you’ll see the full results after two weeks. If you’re not completely satisfied with your results, you can book a follow-up appointment to add a bit more Botox to an area of concern.
## Who Should Get Botox?
Botox is a safe and effective treatment that’s recommended for adults of any age. You can get Botox when you notice wrinkles or creases on your face. Botox can ease these wrinkles and give you a youthful appearance. 

You can also get Botox before you have forehead wrinkles. If you’ve noticed the first signs of fine lines on your forehead, you’re a perfect candidate for preventative Botox. Most people start getting preventative Botox in their 20s or 30s. Botox can keep you looking young for years, preventing dynamic wrinkles before they have a chance to start.
