The forehead is the main feature of the upper third of the face. Its shape masculinizes or feminizes the face, and the presence of hollows or bumps influences how light is reflected. A rounded forehead, for instance, is a light-catching zone that enhances the beauty of the face and the eyes.
Irregularities such as bumps, hollows, and deformities of the forehead can alter facial proportions and reduce self-confidence. A well-proportioned, rounded forehead contributes to facial harmony and balance.
Achieving a rounded forehead or correcting bumps or hollows without surgery is now possible.
Hyaluronic acid injections in the forehead do not only treat wrinkles — this filler is also used for beautifying and reshaping the forehead.
There are also surgical techniques for the forehead, such as silicone implants or autologous fat transfer (forehead lipofilling).
Several factors contribute to these anatomical peculiarities :
As the face ages, the shape of the forehead changes.
From the side, it takes on an S shape : a slight protrusion followed by a hollow, below which the bone ends with another protrusion.
A youthful forehead is slightly rounded, whereas an older person’s forehead tends to flatten and appear irregular in profile.
The female forehead , viewed from the front, forms a semicircle. In profile, it appears rounded, with no projection of the brow ridge. The distance between the eyebrow and the orbital ridge is greater than in men, and the distance from the eyebrow to the hairline is approximately 5 cm.
The male forehead , viewed from the front, has a rectangular shape. In profile, it forms a straight line from the hairline to the eyebrows, which are projected forward.
Until about ten years ago, aesthetic treatment of the forehead was only surgical. Hyaluronic acid, a flagship product in aesthetic medicine, now makes it possible to correct forehead imperfections and reshape it without surgery.
The injection of hyaluronic acid is an effective and quick solution to correct bumps, hollows, and transform a flat forehead into a rounded one. Thanks to this non-invasive technique, it is possible to create curves in the forehead and achieve a softer appearance.
It is possible to feminize or masculinize the forehead, modify its shape, and smooth out or fully camouflage bumps with hyaluronic acid injections.
If the forehead is overly projected or the bumps too pronounced, surgery will be more appropriate.
The hyaluronic acid used must be volumizing and quite firm, to avoid migration during forehead movements.
The precise product is chosen after a static and dynamic analysis of the forehead and evaluation of the patient’s skin and frontalis muscle characteristics.
The injection is usually done with a cannula, and the product is placed against the bone.
This technically complex injection must be performed by an experienced practitioner.
A poorly performed injection may cause visible lumps, product migration during expressions, or shifting.
Les bosses du front peuvent être dues à des traumatismes, à la structure osseuse ou être les séquelles d’une acné sévère. Ces irrégularités représentent souvent une gêne esthétique.
Procedure :
Hollows in the forehead can give a tired and aged appearance.
They are due to age-related volume loss or are constitutional (genetic).
Hyaluronic acid is ideal for filling these hollow areas.
Procedure :
A flat forehead can affect facial proportions. The goal of this treatment is to create a rounded forehead for a more harmonious appearance.
Procedure :
The result is immediate and continues to improve over the three weeks following injection.
Hyaluronic acid injections yield impressive results in terms of forehead harmonization.
Right after the procedure, patients observe immediate improvement, with smoother skin and more even contour. Bumps are reduced, hollows are filled, and the forehead has a more natural and elegant curvature. The face appears refreshed and rejuvenated.
Immediately after the injection, there may be slight swelling and the product may still be unevenly distributed. It takes three weeks for it to settle correctly. On the day of the injection, the patient may feel a heaviness in the forehead and a temporary swelling of varying intensity may occur in 30 % of cases.
Les résultats des injections d’acide hyaluronique au niveau du front durent longtemps. Après la première injection, une séance d’entretien est prévue douze à dix-huit mois après. Par la suite les injections sont à renouveler tous les trois ans. En fait le produit est placé entre l’os et le muscle, et comme il est protégé de toute action mécanique, un produit de bonne qualité dure longtemps.
The treatment of the forehead with hyaluronic acid injections can correct irregularities such as hollows, bumps, or to create a rounded contour. This is a technically complex procedure due to the thinness of the tissues, the proximity to the periosteum, and the anatomical and dynamic constraints specific to this area. For this reason, not all physicians offer this type of correction.
The price of a hyaluronic acid injection in the forehead is 750 CHF per syringe. The total cost depends on the amount of product needed, which varies according to the patient’s morphology, the number of areas to harmonize, and the extent of the correction desired.
Although the cost of this injection is slightly higher than for other facial areas, results in the forehead tend to be particularly long-lasting. On average, the effects last between two and three years. During maintenance sessions, a single syringe is usually enough to preserve the result, making this a low-maintenance treatment over time.
A prior medical consultation is essential to assess the feasibility of the treatment, adapt the protocol to the bone and skin structure of the forehead, and provide a personalized quote. The price for treating forehead hollows or bumps with hyaluronic acid is defined transparently, based on the patient’s specific needs.
Oui, les patients peuvent reprendre leurs activités quotidiennes immédiatement après le traitement. Il est cependant recommandé d’éviter les exercices intenses et l’exposition au soleil pendant quelques jours.
Yes, hyaluronic acid injections are very effective for filling in the hollows of the forehead. The principle is to restore volume to the depressed areas.
Les effets secondaires sont rares et généralement légers. Il s’agit de rougeurs, ecchymoses ou d’un léger gonflement au site d’injection. Leur durée est de quelques jours.
Il n’y a pas d’âge minimum, mais la majorité des patients ont au moins 21 ans. Les injections peuvent être envisagées dès que des irrégularités du front causent une gêne esthétique ou affectent la confiance en soi.
A single session is often enough to obtain good results. However, the injection often takes place over two sessions. At the second appointment, a single syringe is injected to perfect the result.
Les injections d’acide hyaluronique peuvent lisser la surface du front en comblant les zones autour des bosses. Cela permet de réduire les irrégularités sans recourir à la chirurgie.
Treatment is generally well tolerated. Patients tend to feel a pulling sensation and a tingling rather than outright pain.
Oui, lorsque les injections sont réalisées par un médecin expérimenté, les résultats sont naturels. L’acide hyaluronique s’intègre dans la peau et permet une harmonisation subtile du front.
