A smooth, convex forehead with gently elevated brows communicates health and youthfulness—and who doesn’t love that?
At Mabrie Facial Institute, we have mastered the art and science of using neuromodulators and fillers to:
- Reduce forehead wrinkles and frown lines
- Reshape forehead indentations
- Raise low eyebrows
- Rejuvenate sunken temples
You can learn more about each of our forehead and brow treatments by visiting their respective pages.
Forehead Wrinkles & Frown Lines
Horizontal forehead furrows and vertical frown lines on the forehead can sneak up on you, but they’re no match for BOTOX® or the other neuromodulators we use at MFI. Get a head start and nix these lines early, or add filler to your BOTOX treatment for creases that won’t budge.

Forehead Indentation
Some people have a naturally indented forehead, and some people experience this phenomenon as they age. It can make your brow look heavy and give you a fatigued appearance—both of which can be reversed with the strategic application of filler.

Sunken Temples
Either age or extreme fitness can cause the temple area to become hollow, giving a gaunt or skeletal appearance. Volume loss in the temples may go unnoticed until patients see the difference a little temple filler makes.
