Botulinum toxin type A injections can safely increase forehead height. This forehead lift technique is more effective for individuals with naturally lower foreheads, offering a subtle yet significant aesthetic enhancement.

Area of Science:

  • Aesthetic medicine
  • Neuromodulation
  • Facial rejuvenation

Background:

  • The influence of dynamic muscular activity on eyebrow aesthetics is established.
  • This study investigates the impact of fronto-galea-occipital muscle dynamics on forehead height.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a novel forehead lift technique utilizing Botulinum toxin type A injections.
  • To evaluate the clinical effectiveness and safety profile of this forehead augmentation method.

Main Methods:

  • Twenty-nine female patients received 40 units of abobotulinumtoxinA injected into the hair-bearing scalp.
  • Measurements of forehead height (MPFH and MCFH) were taken pre- and post-treatment (2 weeks).
  • Outcomes were compared between patients with low (<5.5 cm) and high forehead heights.

Main Results:

  • A significant increase in mean forehead height was observed across all measurement points post-treatment (P <0.001).
  • Patients with lower foreheads demonstrated a greater percentage increase in forehead height compared to those with higher foreheads (MCFH: 6.9% vs 5.3%; MPFH: 8.6% vs 5.7%).
  • No adverse events were reported during the study period.

Conclusions:

  • Botulinum toxin type A injections at the frontalis origin provide a safe and effective method for forehead height augmentation.
  • The efficacy of this forehead lift technique is more pronounced in individuals with lower forehead dimensions.
