Forehead Injections Quebec

Forehead injections offered at our Dermapure clinics in Quebec City are an injectable treatment that targets the muscles of the forehead and the area between the eyebrows (the glabella). By relaxing these muscles, the treatment softens the horizontal forehead lines and the vertical frown lines that form with movement (dynamic wrinkles).

Book an Appointment

This treatment is most often considered by patients who would like to soften forehead lines and frown lines caused by repeated facial expressions. The effect is temporary, and a personalized plan is typically built around a few sessions per year depending on individual goals. Forehead injections can also be planned alongside medical-grade skincare protocols within a broader treatment plan.

Because every patient’s facial anatomy, goals and medical history are different, forehead injections at our Dermapure clinics in Quebec City always begin with a personalized medical consultation with a physician or healthcare professional. Together, you will assess whether forehead injections are the most appropriate option for you and discuss what a realistic treatment plan could look like, the expected results and the possible side effects.

What to Expect During Your Session

Step 1

Personalized Consultation

Every face is unique, and so is every treatment. Before any injection is performed, you’ll meet with one of our expert medical injectors for a personalized consultation. This includes an in-depth assessment of your facial anatomy, muscle movement, skin quality and overall goals. We take the time to understand what concerns you most, whether it's forehead wrinkles, frown lines or general facial tension. Your injector will explain how the treatment works, what kind of results to expect and how to achieve a balanced look that respects your features.

Step 2

The Procedure

Once your plan is established, the treatment itself is quick and comfortable. A numbing cream may be applied beforehand to reduce sensitivity. Using a very fine needle, your injector will perform a series of small, precise injections into the muscles responsible for forehead and frown lines. The technique is adapted to your facial dynamics to preserve natural movement. The procedure typically takes between 15 and 30 minutes. Most patients describe only minimal discomfort, similar to a light pinch.

Step 3

Back to Your Day

There is little to no downtime after forehead injections. You can return to your usual activities right away. Some redness, swelling or small marks may appear at the injection sites, but these effects are temporary and often fade within a few hours. In some cases, mild bruising may occur and can be easily covered with makeup the next day. To support the best results, we recommend avoiding intense physical activity, alcohol and lying flat for the first few hours after treatment.

Follow-Up & Maintenance

Wrinkle relaxers typically begin to take effect within a few days, with full results visible around two weeks. The forehead looks smoother, more relaxed and naturally refreshed, without freezing facial movement. Results generally last three to six months, and maintenance treatments are recommended to help preserve your results over time.

Contraindications

Treatment is not recommended for individuals who have active skin infections or inflammation in the forehead area; are pregnant or breastfeeding; have certain medical conditions or allergies (discussed during consultation) and are currently taking blood thinners (must be evaluated by your healthcare provider).

Frequently Asked Questions

What are forehead injections?

Forehead injections are wrinkle-relaxing treatments that help soften dynamic lines caused by repeated facial movement. They are most commonly used to treat forehead wrinkles and frown lines between the eyebrows.

Are dermal fillers recommended for the forehead?

In most cases, no. Dermal fillers are not typically recommended for the forehead, as this area presents higher risks compared to other regions of the face. The skin is thin and the underlying vascular network is dense, increasing the potential for complications such as bumps, irregularities, a heavy appearance or, in rare cases, vascular events that could lead to localized skin damage or temporary hair loss. Dermal fillers may be considered in very specific cases, such as marked volume loss, structural depressions or post-trauma irregularities. When used in the forehead, they must be injected with extreme caution, in small quantities, and only by a highly experienced medical injector. For most patients, wrinkle relaxers remain the safest and most effective option for addressing forehead lines. Dermal fillers are not a routine treatment in this area and should only be used when clearly indicated.
