Dermatologist Debriefs is back with another fast-paced, myth-busting session. In this episode, consultant dermatologist Dr Stefanie focuses on the deceptively tricky forehead and explains why treating it with botulinum toxin demands much more than a steady hand.
She starts by mapping the frontalis muscle—from hairline to brow—and shows how habitual “brow lifting” carves horizontal lines into the skin. You will learn why relaxing that muscle can leave some patients feeling unexpectedly heavy-eyed, why true eyelid ptosis is rare, and how thoughtful dose adjustments—or even skipping the forehead entirely—avoid the problem. Dr Stefanie also unpacks the two-centimetre safety zone, dissects the dreaded “Mephisto” eyebrow, and reminds listeners that botulinum toxin is a prescription-only drug in the UK.
Dr Stefanie also looks at some of the alternatives such as collagen-stimulating injectables and energy-based devices such as high-intensity focused ultrasound, explaining where they fit into a personalised plan. Whether you are new to cosmetic treatments or refining an existing routine, invest eight crisp minutes with Dr Stefanie before anyone comes near your forehead.
