The noticeable signs of aging, such as the formation of fine lines and wrinkles across the face, are often tell-tale signs that our skin is losing its natural stores of both collagen and elastin. Youthful skin is firm and tight, while aging skin has increased skin laxity and begins to show signs of being looser and not bouncing back as fast as it used to. Fortunately, patients in Wilmington, North Carolina, have many ways of combating these imperfections on the skin and restoring a youthful look–specifically when it comes to the dynamic wrinkles and folds caused by muscle tension. Aleta Sloan, PA-C of United Medical and Aesthetics, is a physician assistant who can help. She may recommend patients looking for a treatment for forehead and glabellar lines to consider the many advantages of neurotoxin injections such as Botox.
How can Botox address forehead lines?
Botox is one of many neurotoxin injections on the market today and by far the most popular and well-known. Many patients know Botox by name as an anti-aging tool to address fine lines and wrinkles across the face without needing cosmetic surgery. Instead, Botox injections can delay the need for surgical interventions, allowing patients to address specific areas across the face. Botox is best for:
- Forehead lines
- Glabellar lines (elevens between the eyebrows)
- Crows feet
Before & After Treatment Images
Botox works by addressing the muscles of the face that contract and cause the formation of imperfections across the face. Neurotoxins then reduce contractions and smooth imperfections of dynamic wrinkles, offering results that last several months before reinjection may be required to keep the youthful look and slow the overall aging process on the face.

Am I a good candidate for Botox injections?
For patients who are considering neurotoxin injections, you will need to start with a consultation visit with Aleta Sloan. She can evaluate your skin and the areas of specific concern and talk to you about the various options available. She may also recommend other injectables, such as dermal fillers or collagen stimulators, to help you attain a more youthful and refreshed appearance with cosmetic solutions available at her office. Most candidates for Botox are those with mild to moderate dynamic wrinkle formation who are not at risk of an allergic reaction. Patients might also consider using other injectables simultaneously to address many areas of the face, ultimately achieving a “liquid facelift.”
