Treating Forehead Lines Without Losing Expression
The frontalis is unforgiving. Conservative, anatomy-led dosing keeps movement natural.

Why less is more
The frontalis both creates horizontal lines and holds the brow up. Over-treating it drops the brow and worsens hooding.
Dosing should reflect muscle bulk, line depth and brow position, not a fixed template.
Always assess the glabella
Treating frontalis alone while leaving strong depressors active reliably produces brow heaviness. The complexes are treated together.
In patients with low-set brows, treat higher and lighter, or decline forehead treatment altogether.
