The Treatment
Horizontal forehead lines are often the first sign of aging people notice. They're caused by the repetitive movement of the frontalis muscle—the muscle you use to raise your eyebrows.
Our approach in Knoxville is different. We don't believe in "freezing" your forehead completely. Instead, we use precise micro-doses of Botox to soften these lines while allowing you to maintain natural brow movement. This prevents the heavy, hooded feeling that can happen with over-treatment.
Benefits
- Smooths Texture: Reduces the "washboard" appearance of the forehead.
- Prevents Deepening: Stops static lines (lines present at rest) from etching deeper into the skin.
- Brow Positioning: Can be customized to provide a subtle "Botox Brow Lift."
- Quick Procedure: Takes less than 15 minutes.
Common Questions
How many units do I need?
Most patients in our Knoxville clinic receive between 10-20 units for the forehead area alone. However, this is almost always treated in conjunction with the glabella (frown lines) to maintain a balanced brow position.
Will my eyebrows droop?
This is the most common fear, and it only happens with poor placement or over-dosing. Our providers are experts in facial anatomy and conservative dosing to ensure your brows stay lifted and natural.
How long does it last?
Results typically last 3-4 months. Consistency is key—regular treatments can actually train the muscles to relax, leading to longer-lasting results over time.
