Well, from what I've learned through my own journey, botox for forehead lines can be quite effective if you go to a qualified professional. The key is finding someone who understands facial anatomy and won't over-inject you. When I had it done, the results weren't immediate - it took about a week to fully settle in, and I could still make expressions, just smoother ones. The lines gradually fade over two weeks or so. What helped me was being very clear with my injector about my goals before the procedure. I didn't want that frozen look either, and being vocal about it made a huge difference. Most practitioners these days are really good about achieving natural-looking results if that's what you want.
