Wrinkles on the forehead are the result of gradual skin aging and hyperactive facial expressions, even at a young age. A huge amount of movement of the facial muscles during a conversation creates a zone of tension in the forehead. In the early stages, subtle wrinkles may arise from the habit of wrinkling the forehead or other factors. You can slow down the process of their formation at the initial stage and remove forehead wrinkles using effective home methods or high-quality salon care.

Over the years, getting rid of persistent grooves that visually add age can only be done by a dermatocosmetologist. After evaluating the condition of the skin, a professional will select the best option for an anti-aging – anti-aging – program using a set of procedures.

When do forehead wrinkles first appear?

The aging of the female face initially manifests itself in the form of fatigue or the results of overactive facial expressions – the habits of wrinkling the forehead, “thrown up” in surprise, or moving the eyebrows to focus or frown.

The first wrinkles on the forehead and bridge of the nose in overly emotional girls can appear even at the age of 20–25.

If you learn to relax the muscle tone of the face, master facial expressions and control its activity, then you can smooth out early wrinkles on the forehead at home.

Causes

In addition to the natural aging process of the skin, wrinkles appear and then deepen on the forehead from the following factors:

Chronic stress . The mechanism of its action contributes to premature “aging” of cells, suppression of the body’s defenses, which leads to the early appearance of wrinkles in the problem area.
Excessively active facial expressions . Hyper-emotional people who use facial expressions extensively to express their feelings notice forehead wrinkles much earlier than their peers.
smoking . Tobacco tar slows down metabolic processes in tissues, which provokes the destruction of collagen – a building protein and leads to dehydration – dehydration – of the skin. In addition, nicotine has a destructive effect on antioxidants – vitamins C, A and E, which reduce the amount of free radicals in the body that activate the aging process.
hereditary predisposition . A genetic factor can provoke the appearance of the first wrinkles on the forehead as early as 18–20 years old, especially with hyperactivity of the facial muscles and abuse of the solarium.
Sunburn without the use of protective equipment. Ultraviolet radiation dries out the skin, damaging the collagen and elastin threads that make up the elastic frame of the dermis. If girls spend a lot of time in the sun, then they need to use day care and decorative cosmetics with SPF protection so as not to get forehead wrinkles at a young age.
Rigid, nutrient-poor diets, unbalanced diets. Dermatologists recommend saturating the menu with a variety of vitamin-containing foods to prolong the health and youthfulness of the skin.
Water deficiency . Failure to comply with the drinking regime, which prescribes the use of at least 30 ml of pure water without gas per 1 kg of body weight, leads to dehydration, dry skin and the appearance of wrinkles in the forehead from an early age.
External natural impact – air pollution, extremely high or low air temperatures, high humidity.
Improper skin care – the use of low-quality cosmetics, products that do not correspond to the type of dermis or age characteristics, the habit of not washing off cosmetics at night.
Sleep disturbances – lack of sleep and inadequate rest, as well as the presence of diseases of internal organs that adversely affect the condition of the skin. Timely seeking medical help will help to avoid consequences.

Removing wrinkles on the forehead in cosmetology is associated with the use of various techniques:

Anti-aging programs with serums, creams and emulsions for day and night care, make-up removal and morning wash.
Injections with botulinum toxin – “beauty injections” with the drugs “Botox”, “Dysport” or “Xeomin”, relaxing the tense mimic muscles of the forehead and smoothing wrinkles. The course of treatment is repeated 2 times a year, combined with other methods of skin rejuvenation, in order to remove mimic wrinkles on the forehead.

Its essence is the thermal effect of the laser on the surface of the skin, causing microdamage, which starts the process of regeneration – renewal – of tissues.
Facelift plastic surgery – rhytidectomy – is resorted to in difficult cases, when sparing methods do not give a noticeable effect. Eyebrow lifting is combined with injection schemes – Botox, contouring and mesotherapy. A chemical peel can be an addition to a surgical facelift.

The meaning of wrinkles

Doctors of ancient China and Greece practiced techniques that made it possible to determine the character traits of a person, his habits, mental abilities, and also diagnose his illnesses by the location, direction and other features of facial wrinkles on the forehead.

Horizontal wrinkles

Deep horizontal wrinkles on the forehead can serve as an imprint of problems with the nervous system, lack of sleep, frequent stress and irritability. Such folds indicate a predisposition to depressive states and neurotic disorders.

A large number of transverse wrinkles may indicate disorders in the musculoskeletal system, as a result of which a person will experience frequent headaches, malaise and dizziness.

At the same time, longitudinal wrinkles on the forehead indicate a person’s high intelligence, excessive concentration and foresight, consistency in actions, and the ability to endure mental overload.

Vertical wrinkles

One eyebrow wrinkle on the forehead – vertical – a sign of a possible problem with the digestive system. Sometimes the groove between the eyebrows signals a heart rhythm failure or disease of the nose and paranasal sinuses.

If the vertical creases between the eyebrows have shifted to the left, then there is probably a problem with the spleen, and if they are located on the right, then with the liver or gallbladder.

A person with grooves in the center between the eyebrows is often a strong-willed and purposeful person. The main character traits are: analytical mindset, attention to detail, courage, determination and responsibility.

At the current stage of development of medicine and cosmetology, it is possible not only to smooth wrinkles on the forehead, but also to undergo a qualitative examination that determines certain malfunctions in the functioning of organs and systems. The formation of wrinkles reflects mimic habits more than pathological changes in the body.
