Forehead Lines Botox Smooth Horizontal Wrinkles in Myeongdong Seoul
Erase horizontal forehead lines with precision Botox micro-injections at RE:BERRY Myeongdong Seoul. Our board-certified physicians use advanced frontalis muscle mapping to smooth forehead wrinkles while maintaining natural brow position and expression. The most requested anti-aging Botox treatment for international patients visiting Seoul.
What Is Forehead Lines Botox?
Forehead lines Botox is a targeted injection of botulinum toxin into the frontalis muscle — the broad, flat muscle spanning your entire forehead that creates horizontal wrinkles when you raise your eyebrows. By selectively weakening specific frontalis fibers, Botox smooths these lines within 5-7 days while preserving natural brow elevation and expression.
Horizontal forehead lines are the most visible aging sign because they occupy the largest smooth surface area on the face. Every time you express surprise, concern, or emphasis, the frontalis muscle contracts and creases the overlying skin. Over years, these dynamic lines become etched into the skin as permanent static wrinkles visible even at rest. At RE:BERRY Myeongdong, forehead Botox is the single most requested treatment among our international patients, and for good reason — it delivers dramatic visual improvement with a 10-minute session and zero downtime. However, forehead Botox requires more skill than many patients realize. The frontalis is the only muscle that lifts the eyebrows. Over-treating it causes brow drooping (brow ptosis), creating a heavy, tired appearance. Under-treating creates an uneven result with some lines smoothed and others persisting. Dr. Seung-Jae Baek’s technique at RE:BERRY Myeongdong maps each patient’s unique frontalis contraction pattern before placing precisely dosed injections at individualized points to achieve the optimal balance between wrinkle smoothing and brow support. This personalized approach is why our patients consistently achieve natural-looking results that friends and colleagues notice but cannot identify as “work done.”

How Forehead Botox Works at RE:BERRY Myeongdong
Our precision four-step protocol for natural forehead wrinkle reduction.
Frontalis Muscle Mapping
Dr. Seung-Jae Baek asks you to raise your eyebrows fully while he studies your frontalis contraction pattern. He notes the number, depth, and distribution of your forehead lines, identifies areas of stronger versus weaker muscle activity, and assesses your baseline brow position. This functional analysis is critical because the frontalis muscle is the sole brow elevator — treating it incorrectly can cause unwanted brow drooping. He also evaluates your glabella (frown line) and crow’s feet to determine if combined treatment would produce better overall results.
Strategic Injection Planning
Based on the muscle mapping, the doctor marks 4-8 injection points across your forehead. These points are strategically placed at least 2cm above the brow ridge to prevent brow heaviness. The central forehead typically receives more attention than the lateral portions. For patients with naturally low brows, a modified “micro-Botox” technique is used with lower doses per point to partially relax the muscle rather than fully immobilizing it. This careful planning takes 3-5 minutes and is what separates a customized forehead Botox from a generic one.
Precision Injection
Using 32-gauge ultra-fine needles, the physician injects 2-4 units per point, typically totaling 10-20 units across the entire forehead. Each injection is superficial (into the muscle belly, not deep tissue) and takes less than 2 seconds. The entire injection process is completed in under 5 minutes. Most patients rate the discomfort at 1-2 on a 10-point scale — comparable to a brief pinch. No numbing cream is typically needed, though it is available upon request at RE:BERRY Myeongdong.
Post-Treatment Guidance
You receive detailed aftercare instructions: remain upright for 4 hours to prevent Botox migration, avoid touching or rubbing the forehead for 24 hours, skip intense exercise for 24 hours, and avoid saunas or steam rooms for 48 hours. You can apply makeup after 4 hours. The tiny injection marks fade within 1-2 hours. Results begin at 3-5 days with full smoothing at 10-14 days. A complimentary 2-week follow-up at RE:BERRY Myeongdong ensures the result is even and the brow position is optimal. Touch-up units can be added at the follow-up if needed.

The Science Behind Forehead Botox
Peer-reviewed research guiding RE:BERRY Myeongdong’s forehead Botox protocols.
Frontalis Muscle Anatomy and Forehead Lines
The frontalis is a broad, paired muscle extending from the galea aponeurotica superiorly to the eyebrows inferiorly. It is the only elevator of the eyebrow complex, working in opposition to the brow depressors (corrugator supercilii, procerus, and the depressor portion of orbicularis oculi). When the frontalis contracts, it creates horizontal wrinkles across the forehead while simultaneously elevating the brows. This dual function is what makes forehead Botox technically demanding — excessive relaxation of the frontalis leads to brow ptosis (drooping), while insufficient treatment leaves lines visible. The muscle’s fiber density and thickness vary significantly between patients, requiring individualized dosing at RE:BERRY Myeongdong.
Dosing Science: The Frontalis-Depressor Balance
The aesthetic outcome of forehead Botox depends on the balance between the frontalis elevator and the brow depressor complex. When the glabella depressors (corrugator and procerus) are treated simultaneously with the frontalis, the opposing forces remain balanced and the brow position stays neutral. Treating the forehead alone without addressing the glabella can paradoxically cause brow drooping because the depressors overpower the weakened frontalis. This is why experienced injectors at RE:BERRY Myeongdong typically recommend combined forehead and glabella treatment for optimal results. Clinical data from De Boulle and Fagien (2016) in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery support this combined approach, showing superior patient satisfaction when both muscle groups are addressed together.
Injection Depth and Diffusion Patterns
Research by Carruthers et al. (2003, Dermatologic Surgery) demonstrated that intramuscular injection at the correct depth within the frontalis belly produces more predictable results than superficial or deep injections. The frontalis is approximately 2-3mm thick, and the optimal injection depth targets the muscle belly rather than the subcutaneous tissue above or the periosteum below. At RE:BERRY Myeongdong, our physicians use standardized injection angles and depths based on these clinical findings. Additionally, the diffusion radius of botulinum toxin is approximately 1-1.5cm from the injection point, meaning that injection points spaced 2-3cm apart provide smooth, even coverage without gaps or overlapping zones of excessive paralysis.
Long-Term Efficacy Data
A longitudinal study by Zimbler et al. (2001, Archives of Facial Plastic Surgery) followed 60 patients receiving regular forehead Botox over 4 years. The study found that patients who maintained consistent 4-6 month treatment intervals experienced progressive improvement in wrinkle severity over time, with many requiring lower doses at each subsequent session. This phenomenon — attributed to gradual muscle atrophy from sustained reduced activity — suggests that regular forehead Botox may provide cumulative benefits beyond simple wrinkle relaxation. Patients at RE:BERRY Myeongdong who maintain regular treatment often report that their results last longer with each subsequent session.

What Our Patients Say About Forehead Botox
“My forehead lines were making me look angry and tired in video calls. After Dr. Baek’s treatment, colleagues kept asking if I changed my skincare routine. Nobody can tell I had Botox — I just look well-rested.”
“I was terrified of the ‘frozen forehead’ look. Dr. Son showed me before-and-after photos of patients with similar concerns and explained exactly how many units he would use and why. The result is so natural — I can still raise my eyebrows.”
“Third time getting forehead Botox at RE:BERRY Myeongdong. The consistency is incredible — same quality every time. The LINE follow-up when I return to Singapore is a huge plus.”
Frequently Asked Questions About Forehead Botox
Expert answers from RE:BERRY Myeongdong’s upper-face Botox specialists.
Typically 10-20 units for the forehead at RE:BERRY Myeongdong. Women generally need 10-15 units; men with thicker frontalis muscles may need 15-20 units. Dr. Seung-Jae Baek determines your exact dose based on muscle strength and wrinkle depth.
Forehead Botox at RE:BERRY Myeongdong is available as part of combination treatment packages. The Eye Oligio + Eye Rejuran + Xeomin Eye Botox package at ₩1,190,000 can be combined with forehead Botox. Consult our team for exact combined pricing. All prices exclude VAT.
Brow drooping is avoided at RE:BERRY Myeongdong through precise injection technique. Dr. Baek places injections at least 2cm above the brow ridge and adjusts dosing based on your baseline brow position. Treating the glabella simultaneously maintains the elevator-depressor balance.
RE:BERRY Myeongdong strongly recommends combining forehead and glabella (frown line) Botox. Treating the forehead alone can cause brow heaviness because the glabella depressors overpower the weakened frontalis. Combined treatment maintains natural brow position and produces a more balanced result.
Forehead Botox typically lasts 4-6 months at RE:BERRY Myeongdong — slightly longer than crow’s feet because the frontalis is less frequently contracted. With regular maintenance every 4-6 months, many patients find their results progressively improve over time.
Botox is most effective for dynamic lines (visible during expression). Deep static lines visible at rest may require combination treatment: Botox to relax the muscle plus filler or skin boosters to plump the skin from beneath. Dr. Baek will assess whether combination therapy is needed during your consultation.
Most dermatologists recommend starting preventive forehead Botox when you first notice dynamic lines appearing during expression, typically late 20s to early 30s. At RE:BERRY Myeongdong, our youngest forehead Botox patients are 27-28, while the most popular age range is 35-55.
Absolutely. Forehead Botox is the ideal tourist treatment — 10 minutes, zero downtime, and you can fly the same day. RE:BERRY Myeongdong is 2 minutes from Myeongdong Station with 8-language support. Many patients combine treatment with their Myeongdong shopping trip.
Yes. By stopping the repetitive muscle contraction that causes wrinkles, forehead Botox prevents existing lines from deepening and new lines from forming. Clinical studies show that patients who maintain regular treatment have significantly less wrinkle progression over 4+ years.
Your forehead gradually returns to its pre-treatment state over 4-6 months. Wrinkles will not be worse than before — they simply return to their previous depth. There is no rebound effect. Many RE:BERRY Myeongdong patients find their wrinkles are slightly better even after stopping due to partial muscle atrophy.
Many patients report reduction in tension headaches after forehead Botox, as the frontalis muscle is a common contributor to tension-type headache. While this is an off-label benefit, it is a welcome side effect reported by approximately 30-40% of forehead Botox patients at RE:BERRY Myeongdong.
Bruising after forehead Botox is uncommon, occurring in fewer than 5% of patients at RE:BERRY Myeongdong. The forehead has fewer superficial blood vessels than areas like the under-eye or lip. If bruising occurs, it is typically a small dot that fades within 3-5 days and is easily covered with makeup.
Yes. Male forehead Botox is very popular at RE:BERRY Myeongdong. Men typically need 15-20 units (vs. 10-15 for women) due to thicker, stronger frontalis muscles. Dr. Baek adjusts the technique for masculine facial proportions to maintain a strong, defined brow appearance.
Forehead Botox smooths horizontal wrinkles by relaxing the frontalis muscle. A Botox brow lift targets the brow depressors (corrugator, procerus, lateral orbicularis oculi) to allow the frontalis to elevate the brows more effectively. At RE:BERRY Myeongdong, the two are often combined for optimal upper face rejuvenation.
Stop blood thinners (aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, vitamin E) 7 days before. No alcohol 24 hours prior. Arrive at RE:BERRY Myeongdong with clean, makeup-free forehead if possible. No other special preparation needed.
Yes. At RE:BERRY Myeongdong, forehead Botox is frequently combined with glabella Botox, crow’s feet Botox, and dermal fillers in a single session. Complete upper face rejuvenation (forehead + glabella + crow’s feet) takes under 20 minutes.
Yes, with RE:BERRY Myeongdong’s precision technique. Dr. Baek uses conservative dosing to smooth wrinkles while preserving 60-70% of normal muscle movement. You can still raise your eyebrows and express surprise — the lines just will not crease as deeply.
Minor asymmetry is addressed at your complimentary 2-week follow-up at RE:BERRY Myeongdong. Dr. Baek can add small touch-up doses (1-2 units) to the under-treated side at no additional charge. True asymmetry from initial treatment is rare with our customized injection mapping.
Yes. Botox works on the underlying muscle, not the skin surface, making it equally safe and effective for all skin types and ethnicities. At RE:BERRY Myeongdong, we treat patients from Japan, China, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam, Mongolia, and worldwide with consistent results.
RE:BERRY Myeongdong uses only genuine KFDA-approved products with batch verification (no diluted or counterfeit products), employs physician-only injection (never nurses or assistants), provides personalized frontalis mapping for each patient, and includes complimentary follow-up. Dr. Seung-Jae Baek’s Juvelook Meister certification reflects advanced injectable training.
Micro-Botox (also called meso-Botox) involves injecting very small doses of diluted Botox into the superficial dermis rather than the muscle. At RE:BERRY Myeongdong, this technique is used for patients who want subtle wrinkle softening with minimal muscle relaxation, or for patients with naturally low brows who cannot tolerate standard frontalis Botox doses.
Most patients can be seen within 1-2 days of contacting RE:BERRY Myeongdong. Same-day appointments are sometimes available. Contact us via WhatsApp, LINE, WeChat, or our website for the fastest booking. Our clinic operates 365 days a year.
Yes. Forehead Botox can be safely combined with laser toning, Potenza RF microneedling, and other skin treatments at RE:BERRY Myeongdong. Botox is typically administered first, followed by energy-based treatments. This combined approach addresses both wrinkles and skin quality simultaneously.
RE:BERRY Myeongdong includes a complimentary 2-week follow-up with every Botox treatment. For international patients who have left Seoul, we offer remote follow-up via photo review on WhatsApp, LINE, or WeChat. This follow-up ensures optimal results and allows for touch-up if needed.
Common mild effects include brief redness at injection sites (resolves in 1-2 hours), occasional mild headache (resolves within 24 hours, reported by approximately 10% of patients). Rare effects include bruising (fewer than 5%) and temporary brow heaviness (less than 2% at RE:BERRY Myeongdong due to our precision technique). Serious side effects are extremely rare.
Forehead Botox does not interact with topical skincare products. You can continue your normal skincare routine, including retinoids, vitamin C, and AHA/BHA acids. Simply avoid applying products to the injection sites for 4 hours after treatment at RE:BERRY Myeongdong. Botox actually enhances the effectiveness of topical anti-aging products by providing a smoother skin surface.
