Forehead lines.

What it is

Forehead lines are the horizontal creases that draw across the brow each time you lift it: in surprise, concentration, or simply during conversation. At first they appear only with the expression. Over time they begin to stay, and the rested face reads more tired than the inside feels.

The work here is more nuanced than it appears. Over-relaxing the forehead lets the brow drop. And a dropped brow always reads heavier than a forehead with some lines. Dr Beiki dosing is deliberately conservative, so the brow holds, the expression remains, and the lines soften.

What we look for

• ●Repeated contraction of the frontalis muscle each time you lift the brows
• ●Compensatory lifting where the brow has descended and the frontalis is propping it up
• ●Loss of dermal collagen and elastin from the late 20s onward
• ●Cumulative UV exposure across the most uncovered part of the face
• ●Sleep position, expression habit, and the muscle memory of years of concentration
• ●Lines that have begun to read in soft light even at rest

Dr Beiki assesses which of these are at play before recommending a layered approach.
