Quick answer
What does forehead Botox do?
Forehead Botox is an injection of botulinum toxin into the frontalis muscle, the muscle that raises your eyebrows. Relaxing it softens the horizontal lines that form when you lift your brows and helps stop them from deepening.
Because the frontalis also holds the brows up, dosing is kept light and spread evenly to avoid a heavy or flat look. Many visitors to Seoul combine it with frown line Botox for a balanced upper face.

Your visit
How Forehead Botox works at Umi
Every visit is doctor-led and explained in English, from the first skin check to aftercare.
- Expression check
The doctor watches how you raise your brows and notes brow position and line depth.
- Mapping the points
Small, evenly spaced points are marked higher on the forehead to protect brow lift.
- Micro-injections
Tiny amounts are placed with a very fine needle; it takes only minutes.
- Aftercare
Stay upright for 4 hours, avoid rubbing the area and skip saunas that day.
Before & after
How Botox smooths forehead lines
A relaxed frontalis muscle creases the skin less, so dynamic lines soften and fine etched lines can gradually look shallower.
Movement begins to soften.
Full smoothing effect; review if needed.
Movement slowly returns; plan a top-up.

FAQ
Forehead Botox questions
Will forehead Botox make my brows drop?
It can if the dose is too strong or placed too low. We use light, higher placement and assess your brow position first to minimise this risk.
Should I treat frown lines at the same time?
Often yes. Treating the frown muscles too keeps the brows balanced, since the forehead and frown muscles work against each other.
Can I still move my forehead?
Yes, if you want a natural result. The dose can be set for softened rather than frozen movement.
When can I exercise?
Wait until the next day before intense exercise or hot yoga.
Do foreigners pay more?
No. International patients pay the same price as local patients at Umi Clinic.
