34 and forehead wrinkles! What can I do? Photo attached

I am feeling very down about my wrinkles. I am 34 and not wrinkly anywhere else on my face. But my forehead has deep wrinkles. I am healthy, non smoker, not much of a drinker. Think it's just bad genes!
I'm considering Botox. Would it get rid of these and leave a natural look or would I end up with a shiny forehead?

I started Botox at 31 for deep forehead lines. Best decision ever. I'm 41 now and my forehead is basically wrinkle free.

I honestly don’t think this looks bad at all, your skin looks clear to me - maybe some hyaloronic (sp?) acid or tretinoin.. but
i think having natural expression is lovely
aging is natural, don’t be scared of it
My view - embrace and accept your beautiful face :)
the more people who do embrace the better and the less pressure for things like Botox
I look at women with natural expression and think it’s lovely (so does my husband) and also reassuring in this world where many people have resorted to other measures.
each to their own of course, this is just my view

I do think less is more with Botox. I also tend to like it the most months 3-4 where it’s worm off quite a bit yet the lines haven’t fully come back yet.

You’ll be fine with cautious Botox in your 30s. Especially if you feel your forehead doesn’t match the rest of the face.

Ive had to lay off it now I’m 46 as the slight sagging of my lower face didn’t match the relative (with Botox) line free forehead. And that’s when it starts to look incongruous/ obvious.

I did go to quite an expensive Harley Street doctor so think mine was £300+ for 3 areas. When I had 2 areas done locally it was £200.
Ive found they charge the same even if you have less units but I like the idea of spreading 1 area over 2. Not heard that before.

No amount of skincare is going to get rid of these so Botox is your answer. I get mine every 5 months but sometimes the longer you have Botox the longer it will last.You are young to have wrinkles like this so start preventing them getting deeper now.

Wrinkles are just a part of growing up. Theyre lines that show you've lived, Debroah. You are beautiful with or without wrinkles but aging is a natural process - don't beat yourself up about it. The other day my goat patricia was insecurely looking in the lake by our mountian house, and i gave her the same speech. Her wrinkles are much worse than yours!

Botox will completely sort it. Mine were way deeper than this and they are gone now. I get it every 5 months its £220 for 3 areas I've been getting it for 4 years now and I really like it and in the first couple of months after it makes me also feel more relaxed/less headaches
