Botox for Forehead Lines, Crow’s Feet & Frown Lines: What to Expect

Summary

Forehead lines, crow’s feet, and frown lines are among the most common signs of aging, but Botox offers a fast, effective solution. At Rejuvenation Dermatology in Calgary, we use Botox to relax the facial muscles that cause these lines, smoothing the skin without sacrificing natural expression. In this guide, we explain how Botox targets these specific areas, what the treatment process looks like, and how long you can expect results to last. Whether you're new to cosmetic injectables or maintaining results from previous sessions, knowing what to expect will help you feel confident in your choice.

Why These Lines Form, And How Botox Helps 

Over time, repeated facial movements like frowning, squinting, and raising your eyebrows cause dynamic lines to form. These include horizontal forehead lines, vertical glabellar (frown) lines between the brows, and fine lines at the corners of the eyes (crow’s feet). Botox works by temporarily relaxing the muscles responsible for these movements. This gives the skin time to smooth out, reducing the appearance of lines while helping prevent them from deepening further. At Rejuvenation Dermatology in Calgary, our approach is personalized; we target the exact muscles that contribute to your expression lines while preserving your natural look.

How Botox Targets Specific Facial Lines

  • Forehead Lines: Caused by the frontalis muscle, which lifts the eyebrows. Botox softens horizontal creases without affecting your ability to express yourself.
  • Frown Lines (Glabellar Lines): These vertical “11s” between your eyebrows result from furrowing. A few small injections can relax this area and soften your resting expression.
  • Crow’s Feet: Fine lines around the eyes from smiling or squinting. Botox gently relaxes the outer eye muscles (orbicularis oculi) to smooth this area without freezing your smile.

What to Expect During Your Appointment

  • Consultation: Your injector will assess your facial movement, skin condition, and goals to create a targeted plan.
  • Treatment: Injections take just 10–20 minutes. The needle is very fine, and most people describe it as a quick pinch.
  • Aftercare: There’s no downtime. You may see slight redness or swelling at the injection sites, but this resolves quickly. Avoid strenuous activity and lying flat for four hours.

When You’ll See Results & How Long They Last 

You’ll start noticing smoother skin within 3–5 days, with full results visible by day 10–14. Botox typically lasts 3–4 months for these facial areas, though results vary by individual. Regular maintenance helps soften lines over time and prevent them from deepening further.
