What Are Forehead Lines?
Horizontal forehead wrinkles, also known as forehead lines, are one of the most common signs of facial aging. These lines form from repetitive facial movements like raising your eyebrows and from gradual collagen and elastin loss over time. Overexposure to sunlight and stress can accelerate their appearance, making them more pronounced even when your face is at rest.
At IWH Medspa in Ventura, CA, we offer effective, non-invasive solutions that soften and smooth forehead lines while preserving your natural expressions. Whether you’re seeing early signs of aging or deeper set wrinkles, our treatments can help you look refreshed and feel more confident.
Treatment Options for Forehead Lines
We specialize in advanced aesthetic treatments that are both effective and minimally invasive. Our options target the root causes of forehead wrinkles and work to smooth and rejuvenate your skin.

These neuromodulators relax the forehead muscles responsible for repetitive motion, preventing further creasing and softening existing lines.

In cases where lines are more static and deeper, dermal fillers can be used to gently plump the area and smooth the surface.

Chemical Peels
Peels help exfoliate the skin’s surface and promote new cell turnover, softening shallow wrinkles and improving overall tone.

- Results Build with Each Session
Radiofrequency (RF) or Ultrasound Skin Tightening
Energy-based devices stimulate deeper collagen remodeling, tightening the skin naturally.
