Forehead hollows are sunken areas across the upper forehead from age-related volume loss, genetics, or weight loss that create shadows and an aged look. They're restored with hyaluronic acid fillers like Juvéderm Voluma or RHA 4 for immediate smoothing, or biostimulators like Sculptra for gradual collagen-based fullness. It's an advanced injection area best treated by an experienced injector.
Forehead hollows are depressions or sunken areas in the upper forehead, often caused by aging, volume loss, genetics, or significant weight loss. They can make the forehead look uneven, cast shadows, and contribute to an older or tired appearance.
For a practice, the forehead is an advanced contouring area that rounds out upper-face balancing alongside the temples and brow. The clinical goal is to restore a smooth, gently convex contour that refreshes the upper third of the face. Because patients rarely identify the forehead themselves, showing them the projected, smoother result on their own photo educates them and converts a broader facial-balancing plan.

Common questions patients ask about forehead hollows — and what practices should be ready to answer.
Loss of fat, collagen, and bone support with age, genetics, and significant weight loss cause the forehead to lose its smooth convex contour and appear sunken or uneven.
Hyaluronic acid filler restores a smooth contour immediately, while biostimulators like Sculptra rebuild volume gradually. The forehead is an advanced area, so injector skill is essential.
Hyaluronic acid filler in the forehead often lasts 12–18 months, while biostimulator results can last two years or more.
The forehead has important vessels, so it should only be treated by an experienced injector. In skilled hands it's safe, and hyaluronic acid filler is reversible.
Often, yes. The forehead, temples, and brow are assessed together because restoring them in balance gives the most natural, refreshed upper-face result.
Afters simulates the outcome on a patient's own photo and builds a visual 12-month plan — so consults convert and average ticket climbs.
