Forehead Wrinkles

At Aspire Aesthetics, we treat forehead wrinkles above the eyebrows through procedures such as Botox injections, which help relax the muscles and fill in lines, resulting in a smoother appearance. Microneedling and chemical peels are also effective in smoothing the skin texture.

Glabellar Lines

We can treat glabellar lines, also known as frown lines or "11" lines, by administering dermal fillers to smooth the wrinkles, and/or neurotoxin injections, such as Botox, Daxxify or Dysport, to temporarily relax the muscles in the forehead, leaving you with a youthful, rested and relaxed look.

Masseter

Nurse Christine treats the masseter by injecting Botox into the muscle, reducing its size and relaxing its activity. This can result in facial slimming and alleviate conditions like bruxism (teeth grinding) or temporomandibular joint disorders.

Treatments
