Why Does the Forehead Age Faster Than the Rest of the Face?
It’s no surprise that forehead lines and frown lines are among the most common aesthetic concerns—these areas are in constant motion and exposed to the sun daily. But ageing in this region goes far beyond a few expression lines.
At Skin Enhance and Wellness in Billericay, Dr Tash takes a personalised approach to addressing forehead and temple concerns using a combination of dermal fillers, anti-wrinkle injections, skin boosters, polynucleotides, and microneedling.
What Happens to the Forehead and Temples as We Age?
🔹 Wrinkles and Fine Lines
Forehead Lines & “11” Glabella Rows – Caused by repetitive muscle movements like squinting or frowning. While Anti-Wrinkle Injections are the gold standard for relaxing these muscles, RF Microneedling is used to physically “iron out” lines that have become permanently etched into the skin.
🔹 Skin Laxity and Sagging Skin
Loss of collagen leads to drooping skin, which contributes to heaviness in the upper face.
🔹 Hollow Temples
As we age, we lose fat and bone density in the temples, leading to a “peanut-shaped” head profile and a tired appearance. Dermal Fillers are used here to restore volume, providing a youthful contour and a subtle lift to the tail of the brow.
🔹 Brow Descent and Hooding
HIFU is our primary tool for a non-surgical brow lift, targeting the deep structural layers to elevate drooping skin and “open up” the eye area. For total upper face rejuvenation, our Focus Dual Fusion protocol combines this lifting power with RF Microneedling in a single session. This dual-action approach physically lifts the brow while simultaneously “ironing out” etched-in forehead lines and thickening thin, crepey skin for a smoother, firmer appearance.
🔹 Thin, Crepey Skin
Loss of collagen makes the forehead skin look papery and dull. Polynucleotides or RF Microneedling work to thicken the dermis and restore elasticity from the inside out.
Why Temple Hollowing Matters
Temple volume loss is often overlooked but plays a big role in facial harmony. When the temples are sunken:
The face appears gaunt or tired
Cheekbones look less prominent
The balance between the upper and lower face is disrupted
By restoring volume in the temples, we can lift the upper face, enhance cheek definition, and bring back a more youthful structure.
The Treatment options I offer
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers treatment to the temples can help restore a more youthful appearance, adding volume to the face and creating a more balanced and symmetrical look.
Anti-wrinkle injections
Can be used to relax the frown muscles, the forehead muscles as well as lift the tail end of brows.
Skin boosters
Skin boosters can be used to hydrate the forehead area reducing fine lines and wrinkles.
HIFU
HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) – Often called a “non-surgical brow lift,” HIFU is the go-to for structural lifting. By targeting the deep layers of the forehead, it physically elevates the brow line and tightens sagging skin to refresh a heavy or “hooded” appearance.
RF Microneedling
This is our skin-remodeling specialist. Unlike traditional microneedling, RF Microneedling uses radiofrequency heat to “iron out” etched-in forehead wrinkles and thicken thin, crepey skin by stimulating a massive surge of new collagen.
Focus Dual Fusion
Our most advanced upper-face protocol. This “3D” treatment combines HIFU and RF Microneedling in a single session. It is designed for those who want the maximum possible result: a structural brow lift combined with total skin resurfacing to smooth, tighten, and firm the entire forehead.
Polynucleotides
Stimulate skin regeneration and improve tone and elasticity
Microneedling
Encourage collagen production to smooth fine lines and improve texture
