How to Fix Forehead Wrinkles in Seoul: Non-Surgical Options
Horizontal forehead lines form when you raise your brows, often to lift heavy lids. Our physicians balance relaxing those lines with keeping your brows in position, so the forehead looks smooth without looking heavy.

What causes forehead wrinkles?
Forehead wrinkles are caused by the frontalis muscle raising the brows thousands of times a day, combined with collagen loss and sun damage. Lines that appear when you move respond well to Botox; deeper lines that stay at rest may also need fine filler or skin-firming treatments.
The frontalis is the only muscle that lifts the brows. Some people use it constantly when they talk or concentrate, and many use it without noticing to hold up heavy upper eyelids. Each lift folds the skin into horizontal bands, which first fade and later remain visible at rest.
Collagen loss and UV damage make the skin thinner, so the lines etch in more deeply. This is why forehead treatment must be planned carefully: too much relaxation can let the brows drop. The doctor checks how much you rely on the muscle before deciding the dose.
Signs these treatments can help
- Horizontal lines when you raise your eyebrows
- Lines that now stay when your face is relaxed
- Make-up that settles into forehead creases
- A tired or worried look in photos
When to see a specialist first
- Heavy or drooping eyelids, where relaxing the forehead may make them feel heavier: see sagging eyelids
- Pregnancy, breastfeeding or a neuromuscular condition
- A new bump, growth or non-healing spot on the forehead: see a dermatologist
Four reasons forehead lines form
Repeated brow raising
The frontalis muscle folds the skin with every expression.
Compensating for heavy lids
Many people lift their brows to open heavy eyelids.
Collagen loss
Thinner skin lets lines remain at rest.
Sun damage
The forehead gets strong UV exposure, which deepens lines.

How we treat forehead wrinkles at our clinic
- Assessment. The doctor checks your lines, brow position and eyelid heaviness.
- Plan. Botox dose and pattern, plus filler or skin treatment for etched lines.
- Preparation. The skin is cleaned; numbing cream if fine filler is used.
- Treatment. Small injections across the forehead, placed by your physician.
- Review. We check at 2 weeks by photo and adjust next time if needed.
What to expect
- Stay upright for a few hours after Botox
- Do not rub or massage the forehead that day
- Botox takes effect over 3–14 days
- Small bumps or bruises usually settle in days
Possible side effects
Botox can cause small bruises, a mild headache or, rarely, a temporary feeling of heavy brows. Fine filler may cause swelling or small lumps. Deep, long-standing lines usually soften rather than vanish after one session.

Frequently asked questions
Is Botox safe for forehead lines?
Yes, when the dose is matched to your brow and eyelids. We assess both first, because too much can make the brows feel heavy.
How much does forehead Botox cost?
It is priced by area and units after consultation. Send us a photo on Instagram for a quote in English.
How long does it last?
Typically 3–4 months. Many patients find lines are softer over time with regular treatment.
What if my lines are still visible at rest?
Deep static lines may need fine filler or a skin treatment such as Thermage or Juvelook alongside Botox.
Can I be treated on a short trip?
Yes. There is no downtime. The full effect shows after 1–2 weeks, so we follow up by photo after you fly home.
