The forehead is the main element 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 captured. A convex forehead, for example, will be a light-catching area, which enhances the face and the gaze.
Irregularities of the forehead such as bumps, hollows and deformities can alter facial proportions and reduce self-confidence.
A well-proportioned and convex forehead contributes to facial harmony and balance.
Achieving a convex forehead, and treating forehead bumps or hollows without surgery, is now possible.
Hyaluronic acid injections in the forehead do not only treat wrinkles; this filler product is used for beautification and forehead reshaping.
There are also aesthetic surgery techniques for the forehead : the placement of silicone implants and autologous fat transfer : forehead lipofilling.
Several factors contribute to these anatomical peculiarities :
With aging, the shape of the forehead changes.
In profile, it can take on an S shape : a slight convexity, then a hollow, then once again a convexity where the bone ends.
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 or completely camouflage bumps through injections of hyaluronic acid.
If the forehead is too projected or the bumps too pronounced, management will rather be surgical.
The hyaluronic acid to be used is a volumizing and fairly firm product, in order to avoid migration with forehead movements.
The precise choice of the product is made after a static and dynamic analysis of the forehead, the characteristics of the frontalis muscle and the patient’s skin.
The injection is often performed with a cannula and the product is placed against the bone.
This injection, which is technically complex, must be performed by an experienced physician.
A poorly performed injection can cause visible lumps, product mobilization during facial expressions or migration of the product to another area.
Forehead bumps can be due to trauma, bone structure, or be sequelae of severe acne. These irregularities often represent an aesthetic concern.
Procedure :
Forehead hollows can give a tired and aged appearance.
They can be constitutional (genetic) or due to age-related volume loss.
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 the injection.
Hyaluronic acid injections provide remarkable results in terms of forehead harmonization.
From the end of the procedure, patients observe an immediate improvement with smoother skin and a more even contour. Bumps are softened, hollows are filled, and the forehead has a more natural and elegant curvature.
The face appears refreshed and rejuvenated as a result.
Immediately afterward, there may be slight swelling and the product may still be distributed unevenly. It is necessary to wait three weeks for it to settle properly.
On the day of the injection, the patient may feel a sensation of heaviness in the forehead and transient edema may appear.
The results of hyaluronic acid injections in the forehead last a long time. After the first injection, a maintenance session is scheduled twelve to eighteen months later. Subsequently, injections are repeated every three years : a good-quality product lasts a long time.
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.

There is no minimum age, but the majority of patients are at least 21 years old. Injections can be considered as soon as forehead irregularities cause an aesthetic concern or affect self-confidence.
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 makes it possible to reduce irregularities without resorting to surgery.
