How Can I Get Rid of Forehead Wrinkles?
The quickest way to get rid of wrinkles on your forehead is to cut yourself some bangs and poof! No one can see them! That doesn’t really “get rid of” them tho does it? Jokes aside there are ways to minimize wrinkles from forming and there are some amazing options to consider for those who already have wrinkles and want to actually have them reduce in appearance.
Lifestyle and At Home Options to Reduce Forehead Wrinkles:
A Well Balanced Diet- This may come as no surprise but eating a well balanced whole food diet full of fruits and vegetables gives your body the nutrients it needs to keep your skin and body all the tools it needs to operate at full speed. Your body requires these nutrients to keep your skin fresh and full. Just like drinking plenty of water each and every day, your body uses all these tools up and needs replenishing.
Drinking Lots of Water- Yes, drinking the recommended amount of water each day also helps with your wrinkles from forming. With your body being made up of so much water, when you are dehydrated the first place you will often notice this is your skin. With supple, plump, hydrated skin you give your body the best chance to resist forming the wrinkles in the first place. Think of your hydrated skin like the waves on the beach smoothing out the sand. When theres no water the sand dries up and you can see every foot print.
Using Sunscreen Daily- Speaking of the beach, it is super important, especially living in Florida and being on our beautiful Tampa Bay beaches, to use facial sunscreen daily. One of the best ways to ensure you are doing this is to work it into your morning routine. Using a foundation, BB cream, or moisturizer that has SPF already in it, makes it about impossible to forget. Sun damage is one of the fastest ways to age your skin which is why protecting it is required. Even when you do get treatments done, you still want to protect your skin from further damage. It is important to note that you want to use sunscreen with either Zinc or Titanium as the main active ingredient. This is a natural way to reflect the light rather than absorb it as other ingredients do.
Using Moisturizer & Retinol- Great moisturizers and even using a retinol cream will help to give your skin that topical moisture it craves. This goes hand in hand with drinking plenty of water and utilizing sunscreen. Giving your skin all the chances possible to stay fresh equals longevity of natural beauty you already have.
Watch Your Facial Movements- Some people will tell you to be mindful of your expressions to not scrunch up your forehead which ultimately causes those wrinkles as well. We say live your life to its most expressive, happy, fun way you can! Granted if you have to squint a lot to read things, that will cause more damage which is why you should never shy away from glasses or getting your annual eye exam (we can help you with that too!). Also this is a good reason to quit smoking- yes the smoking will harm your skin and age you. Plus some people scrunch up their face when smoking which isn’t helping either.
What are some procedures for forehead wrinkles?
Dermal Fillers- probably the first thing that came to your mind was Botox, and we can not argue that this is a great option that will do the trick and fast! There are a variety of dermal fillers that you can consider. Dermal fillers are a leading non-invasive, anti-aging solution to instantly smooth visible lines, wrinkles, and nasolabial folds. They primarily work as a filler to diminish the signs of aging, but also they can be used to enhance cheeks, add volume to the chin, enhance lips, lift cupid's bow, define jawline, or correct nose (non-surgical rhinoplasty). Dermal fillers work within minutes by boosting the skin's supply of hyaluronic acid. These injectables restore lost volume to the skin, smooth lines and soften creases to safely produce a more defined, more supple, and younger-looking face.
Morpheus8- Morpheus8 is a device that combines microneedling with radiofrequency technology for fractional resurfacing that stimulates collagen production. By targeting the deeper layers of the skin, the building blocks will reorganize themselves in a natural anti-aging process. There is little to no damage to the dermis and this procedure provides an extremely uniform effect. Microneedling is a scientifically proven method to reduce wrinkles and rebuild collagen. Radiofrequency (RF) energy heats the deep layers of the skin in a controlled manner to revitalize the collagen. This treatment helps to improve skin complexion and texture for a more radiant and youthful appearance.
Sculptra®- Sculptra® is one of our favorite products since it stimulates the body to produce its own type 1 collagen over time, giving you a permanent result, unlike filler which completely dissolves over time. Sculptra® fights wrinkles and sagging skin and reduces fine lines for a more youthful appearance. You will see the best results eight weeks after initial treatment. The main ingredient in Sculptra® is poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA). It’s classified as a collagen stimulator that provides long-lasting, natural-looking results that can last up to two years.
Finding the right approach for you may be a combination of treatments or treatments that target multiple areas to keep you looking natural and fresh. Quick fixes like Botox are great for immediate improvements, although do need to be repeated to maintain their results. Treatments that stimulate collagen production like Morpheus8 and Sculptra give you results over time that last much longer but aiding the body in producing its own collagen more.
No matter what you go with, it is always important to work with some place that can give you all your options to ensure your optimal results. Feel free to contact us today here at Perich Aesthetics to go over all your options to reduce those forehead wrinkles and reveal a younger looking you!
