Forehead Wrinkle Treatment in Basingstoke
Smooth fine lines and restore youthful confidence with our expert forehead wrinkle treatments using Bocouture.
Our expert-led aesthetic team offers advanced non-surgical solutions tailored to gently relax the muscles that cause these lines – restoring a refreshed, smoother look without affecting your natural expressions.
What Are Forehead Wrinkles?
At Hampshire Dental Care, we understand that forehead wrinkles – often the earliest signs of ageing – can leave you feeling like your appearance doesn’t match how vibrant you feel inside. Whether caused by stress, sun exposure, or facial expressions over time, these lines can become deeper and more pronounced as skin loses elasticity.
Forehead wrinkles appear as horizontal lines across the upper forehead, usually due to repeated movement of the frontalis muscle when raising the eyebrows. While these lines can give character, they may also contribute to a tired or aged appearance.
Our Treatment: Bocouture
We use Bocouture, a refined and highly effective botulinum toxin that temporarily relaxes the muscle activity causing forehead lines. This allows the skin to smooth out over time, leaving a rejuvenated, fresher appearance.
Why We Use Bocouture:
- No complexing proteins, reducing the risk of antibody resistance.
- Precise, natural-looking results with a softer, less ‘frozen’ finish.
- Ideal for sensitive skin and those new to wrinkle treatments.

Frequently Asked Questions
What causes forehead wrinkles?
Forehead wrinkles typically develop due to repetitive muscle movement, particularly raising the eyebrows, combined with age-related collagen loss and skin thinning. Environmental factors like sun exposure and dehydration can accelerate their formation.
How are forehead wrinkles treated?
At Hampshire Dental Care, we treat forehead lines with botulinum toxin injections, specifically Bocouture. This relaxes the underlying muscles, preventing excessive movement and allowing the skin to smooth out over time.
Will I look frozen?
No. Our clinicians are highly trained in achieving natural-looking results. We use precise doses to soften the lines while maintaining your ability to make normal facial expressions.
How long does the treatment take?
Treatment for forehead lines takes around 10-15 minutes. It’s a quick, walk-in-walk-out procedure with no downtime.
How soon will I see results?
You’ll begin to notice the effects of your treatment within 3 to 5 days, with full results visible by 7 to 10 days post-treatment.
How long do the results last?
Results typically last around 3 to 4 months. Regular maintenance treatments can help keep your forehead smooth and prevent deeper lines from forming.
Is the treatment painful?
Most patients describe the sensation as a small pinch. The injections are performed using a fine needle, and discomfort is minimal. Numbing cream can be applied if requested.
What should I avoid after forehead wrinkle treatment?
We recommend avoiding vigorous exercise, rubbing the treated area, or lying flat for at least 4 hours after treatment. You should also skip facials or heat-based treatments for 24-48 hours.
Can forehead wrinkle injections be combined with other treatments?
Yes. Many patients choose to combine wrinkle-relaxing injections with treatments like skin boosters, dermal fillers, or microneedling for a more comprehensive rejuvenation plan. We’ll tailor your treatment during consultation.
Is Bocouture safe for forehead treatments?
Yes. Bocouture is a trusted, medically approved botulinum toxin widely used in aesthetic medicine. It is known for its purity and low risk of resistance, making it an excellent choice for first-time and regular users.
