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.
Jusqu’à il y a une dizaine d’années la prise en charge esthétique du front n’était que chirurgicale.
L’acide hyaluronique, produit phare en médecine esthétique, permet désormais de corriger les imperfections du front, de le remodeler sans avoir recours à la chirurgie.
L'injection d'acide hyaluronique est une solution efficace et rapide pour corriger les bosses, les creux et transformer un front plat en front bombé.
Grâce à cette technique non invasive, il est possible de créer des courbes au niveau du front et avoir un 'air plus doux'.
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.
Forehead bumps may be caused by trauma, bone structure, or scarring from severe acne. These irregularities often represent an aesthetic concern.
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.
The results of hyaluronic acid injections in the forehead are long-lasting. After the first injection, a maintenance session is scheduled twelve to eighteen months later. Subsequent injections are done every three years. In fact, the product is placed between the bone and the muscle, and since it is protected from mechanical action, a high-quality product lasts a long time.
The cost of treatment varies depending on the amount of hyaluronic acid used and the specific needs of each patient. This injection is technically complex, which is why it is not performed by all doctors.

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.
Hyaluronic acid injections can smooth the surface of the forehead by filling in the areas around bumps. This reduces irregularities without the need for surgery.
Treatment is generally well tolerated. Patients tend to feel a pulling sensation and a tingling rather than outright pain.
Yes, when the injections are carried out by an experienced doctor, the results are natural. Hyaluronic acid blends into the skin and helps to harmonise the forehead in a subtle way.
