Forehead lines are horizontal wrinkles that are secondary to movement. They are more common in expressive personalities.

They tend to get deeper with age due to skin laxity & volume loss. Simple muscle relaxing injectables can improve lines by reducing muscle tension. Dermal fillers are cautiously used in this area to correct volume loss.

What can chemical peels do for forehead wrinkles?
Peels are great. Many people underestimate the power of chemical peels. Essentially there are two types of peels-
1. Superficial peels: glycolic acid, lactic acid. 5-7 peels over 8-12 weeks. No downtime.
2. Medium / deep peels: Jessner TCA peels. One peel, 7-10-day recovery.

Dermal fillers are great in locations such as the cheeks, chin, lips & jawline. I do use fillers in the forehead area, especially the temples. My filler of choice is hyaluronic acid in this location. Fillers displace loose skin & re-establishes the natural curvature of the forehead.
For mid-forehead lines, I place filler either very superficial or deep. The risks of arterial injection are higher in these areas, & hence why I use cannulas. Fillers last between 12 to 36 months. They are best employed with muscle relaxing injections.
