Hello.
I am Dr. Hyuk-chan Jo, Director of Cleor Clinic Uijeongbu Branch.
Have you ever felt self-conscious about looking older in front-facing photos because your forehead is sunken and horizontal wrinkles appear whenever you make expressions?
"My forehead isn't flat and has some sunken areas,
and wrinkles form on my forehead just by making expressions.
I'm confused about which procedure is right for me,
and I'm wondering if I should get both done together."
These are questions I receive frequently regarding this area.
Forehead wrinkles are a category involving two combined causes.
Static wrinkles caused by volume loss and depressions that appear even when resting,
and dynamic wrinkles created by the repetitive movement of forehead and glabellar muscles when making expressions.
Since both types tend to settle together,
it is difficult to restore a natural impression by addressing only one side.
The Uijeongbu forehead filler approach is designed to manage both of these wrinkles.
Today, I will explain how forehead filler works,
and why it is performed together with Botox.
What is Uijeongbu forehead filler?
👉 Uijeongbu forehead filler is a filler procedure that uses a cannula to gently place hyaluronic acid in a safe layer above the frontal bone to fill in forehead volume, and is performed as an option alongside forehead and glabellar Botox to manage both static and expression wrinkles simultaneously.
The forehead occupies a large area of the upper face.
If forehead volume is insufficient or certain parts are sunken,
the side profile curve from the forehead to the nose and temples does not flow smoothly,
and it is known as a category where the balance of the upper face looks awkward even from the front.
The procedure uses a blunt tube called a cannula instead of a sharp needle,
to gently distribute and place the filler over a wide area.
It is known as a line that ensures stability by placing small amounts in layers
on the safe layer just above the forehead bone (frontal bone).
Why do two types of forehead wrinkles exist together?
👉 Forehead wrinkles are a category where static wrinkles caused by volume loss and dynamic wrinkles caused by repetitive use of expression muscles settle together, so the area requires different approaches for each cause.
Static wrinkles — Volume loss
These are wrinkles that remain on the forehead even when you are still.
As time passes, the skin thickness and volume of the forehead area decrease,
creating curves in the sunken areas.
Dynamic wrinkles — Repetitive use of expression muscles
These are expression wrinkles that appear when you raise your forehead or frown.
As the frontalis muscle and glabellar muscles contract repeatedly,
the skin folds and settles into lines.
Having both wrinkles makes you look older
If you only have static wrinkles, a tired impression is emphasized,
and if you only have dynamic wrinkles, your expression tends to look stiff.
When both are present, static and dynamic wrinkles overlap whenever you make an expression,
making the aged impression more pronounced.
Why one procedure alone is insufficient
Filler is a line that focuses on static wrinkles and volume loss,
while Botox is a line that focuses on dynamic wrinkles and muscle movement,
so their strengths are in different areas.
For this reason, the forehead area has become a category where the option of performing filler and Botox together is frequently considered.
Synergy when filler and Botox are performed together
👉 When forehead filler and forehead/glabellar Botox are performed together, volume filling and muscle movement relaxation occur simultaneously,
allowing for the management of both static and dynamic wrinkles, and it is a combination that can also ensure the maintenance stability of the filler.
Filler — Managing static wrinkles and volume loss
It is a direction to fill in sunken forehead areas to restore a rounded forehead line.
It is reported to naturally refine the side profile curve from the forehead to the nose and temples,
as well as the front forehead curve.
Botox — Managing dynamic wrinkles and expression muscles
It is a method of relaxing the repetitive contractions of the frontalis muscle and glabellar muscles.
It is a line managed in a way that lightens both the horizontal wrinkles that appear when making expressions and the vertical glabellar wrinkles.
Improving filler maintenance stability
The forehead is an area where expression muscles are frequently used,
so repetitive muscle movement after filler placement can affect filler migration.
Relaxing muscle movement with Botox helps maintain the filler position stably,
so it is a combination frequently considered from the perspective of result maintenance stability.
Can be performed in one session
At the Uijeongbu branch, we operate with an option where forehead filler and forehead/glabellar Botox
can be performed together in one session.
It is a category where you can manage both static and dynamic wrinkles in a single visit.
Uijeongbu forehead filler lineup
👉 At the Uijeongbu branch, we operate various combinations of forehead fillers, from a 1cc single option to 4, 6, and 8cc + forehead/glabellar Botox combination options, using both domestic and imported lines.
Domestic lines are characterized by accessible entry and natural volume,
while imported lines are characterized by delicate texture and long-term clinical accumulation.
The dosage is usually determined in the 4~8cc range depending on the forehead width and degree of volume loss,
so we will examine the option that suits your forehead condition during the pre-procedure consultation.
Who is forehead filler suitable for?
Those whose foreheads are not flat and have specific sunken areas
Those who are concerned about the forehead-nose-temple line appearing flat in their side profile
Those who want to manage their forehead because the curve between the forehead and temples is not smooth from the front
Those who have both insufficient forehead volume and expression wrinkles and want to manage them in one session
Those looking into combining with Botox to increase the maintenance stability of forehead filler
Uijeongbu forehead filler side effects and things to know in advance
👉 While Uijeongbu forehead filler is a hyaluronic acid filler line with long-term clinical data, it is good to understand in advance that due to the nature of the forehead area, the procedure plan and the precision of cannula use are categories that affect the stability of the results.
Immediately after the procedure, you may briefly experience
mild redness, minor swelling, and a foreign body sensation in the forehead area.
It is generally reported to resolve naturally within a few days to a maximum of 2 weeks.
The forehead is an area where expression muscles are frequently used, so the filler placement layer and
volume control are lines that have a significant impact on the naturalness of the results.
Excessive volume can make the forehead look unnaturally swollen,
so it is important to perform the procedure with the appropriate amount for the forehead width and shape.
The forehead area is a region that requires more precise procedural judgment compared to other parts of the face.
For this reason, it is known as a category that ensures stability by using a blunt cannula instead of a sharp needle
to gently place small amounts in a safe layer above the forehead bone.
In cases of unsatisfactory results or nodules, hyaluronic acid filler is a line that can be reversed
with a dissolving enzyme, so there is room for result management.
If any of the following apply to you,
the procedure may be restricted or require prior confirmation, so please inform us during the consultation.
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding
If you have a history of allergies to hyaluronic acid or lidocaine anesthetic ingredients
If you have active herpes, infection, or wounds in the forehead area
If you have been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease or keloid tendency
If you are regularly taking anticoagulants/antiplatelet agents or have a bleeding tendency
If you have a history of other filler or thread procedures in the forehead area recently
⚠️ Precautions before and after forehead filler procedure
👉 Forehead filler is a procedure where recovery speed and filler settlement stability vary depending on pre-procedure condition management and post-procedure initial care.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q. Do I have to get forehead filler and forehead/glabellar Botox together?
If you only have static wrinkles or insufficient forehead volume, it is a category where you can proceed with forehead filler alone.
However, if you have forehead/glabellar wrinkles when making expressions, the Botox combination option is a frequently considered combination because it manages both static and dynamic wrinkles and increases filler maintenance stability.
Q. How much forehead filler should be injected to look natural?
The dosage is usually determined in the 4~8cc range depending on the forehead width and shape.
Excessive volume can make the forehead look unnaturally swollen, so it is a category where the appropriate amount is important,
and the dosage that suits your forehead condition will be examined together during the pre-procedure consultation.
Q. How long does the forehead filler last?
Although the forehead is an area where expressions are frequently used, domestic lines are known to last about 6~12 months,
and imported lines are known to last about 12~18 months.
Combining with forehead/glabellar Botox reduces filler movement and improves maintenance stability.
Q. When can I see the results of the forehead filler?
You can see the line where the forehead volume has been filled immediately after the procedure.
It may look a bit more swollen than the actual result due to initial swelling,
and it is reported that a natural line settles over 3~7 days.
Q. How much pain is there with forehead filler?
Thanks to the application of anesthetic cream before the procedure and the lidocaine anesthetic ingredient contained in the filler itself,
the pain during the procedure is not very strong.
Since it is a method using a cannula, it is a category with less irritation than a sharp needle, and it is a line where tenderness may be felt for a few days after the procedure.
Q. How are domestic and imported forehead fillers different?
Although the ingredients are the same hyaluronic acid, it is a category that differs in texture and maintenance period.
Domestic lines are characterized by accessible entry and natural volume, while imported lines are characterized by delicate texture and long-term clinical accumulation, so we will organize the choice that fits your situation during the pre-procedure consultation.
Q. Can I reverse it if I am not satisfied with the procedure results?
Hyaluronic acid filler is a category with room for result management because it is a line that can be reversed by dissolving the filler with a dissolving enzyme.
It is also applicable in cases where nodules or asymmetry occur.
Forehead wrinkles are an area where static wrinkles caused by volume loss and
dynamic wrinkles caused by repetitive use of expression muscles settle together.
When the two types of wrinkles overlap, it is the background where an aged impression becomes more pronounced whenever you make an expression.
Uijeongbu forehead filler is a filler procedure that fills forehead volume with hyaluronic acid and
manages expression muscle movement with forehead/glabellar Botox to simultaneously approach static and dynamic wrinkles.
At the Uijeongbu branch, we operate various filler lines for each facial area in addition to forehead filler.
Bridge filler to refine the bridge and tip of the nose,
Lip filler to create natural volume,
Aegyo (under-eye) filler and under-eye filler to fill in sunken areas under the eyes,
Nasolabial fold filler and wrinkle filler to smoothly fill in folded areas,
Face filler, side cheek filler, and chin tip filler to refine facial volume and contours,
and even ear filler to manage concerns about ear shape,
it is a category where options tailored to concerns by area are operated together.
In addition to this, we have lines that manage elasticity and volume simultaneously with collagen boosters,
and post-procedure management lines that can reverse unsatisfactory results with filler dissolving options,
so you can receive suggestions for a direction from the perspective of overall facial balance.
The direction that fits your forehead condition and overall facial balance will be
checked directly during the consultation.
