Forehead Lines, Frown Lines & Crow’s Feet: Consultation Guide

Start with the line you notice

People often begin by noticing horizontal forehead lines, vertical frown lines between the brows or crow's feet around the eyes. A consultation allows the practitioner to look at facial movement, discuss the result you want and decide whether an anti-wrinkle approach is appropriate.

Movement lines are not all assessed in the same way

Forehead movement, brow position, frowning and smiling all interact. That is why treatment planning should be individual rather than based only on choosing a number of areas from a menu.

Why consultation matters

Some anti-wrinkle treatments involve prescription-only medicines. Suitability and treatment options therefore need an appropriate consultation and assessment. A consultation is also the time to discuss medical history, possible side effects, aftercare and realistic expectations.

If you searched for “Botox Worthing”, you may be looking for information about anti-wrinkle injections available locally. Botox® is a brand name for botulinum toxin, which is a prescription-only medicine in the UK. It cannot be advertised to the public, so this page does not promote a particular medicine. Any prescription-only option can only be discussed as a possible outcome of an appropriate consultation and assessment.

Questions worth asking

Ask what is creating the line you are concerned about, what result is realistic, what aftercare is recommended, what side effects or complications should be considered and what you should do if you have a question after treatment.
