Until the Botox brow lift was discovered, the only way to lift the eyebrows and some portion of the upper eyelids was with a surgical brow lift. But the surgery came with some significant downsides like scarring, an intense recovery, and sometimes, an unnatural, surprised look. But with a Botox brow lift, the eyebrows are opened, and tired-looking and hooded eyes can temporarily be improved. So, if you are considering a Botox brow lift, here's everything you need to know about the popular treatment, which makes a major difference.
What is a Botox Brow Lift?
A Botox brow lift, also called a chemical browlift, is a non-surgical treatment that uses Botox to improve the look of aging eyebrows. With a few strategically placed injections of Botox, the eyebrows are elevated to a more youthful position. Elevating the eyebrows can make the upper eyelids appear less hooded, and the lines between the eyebrows are smoothed since these muscle groups are relaxed.
Using Botox to lift the eyebrows creates a similar effect to the surgical version. However, with a Botox brow lift, the results are far softer and more natural-looking, which makes the treatment a favorite amongst our patients.
Benefits of a Botox Brow Lift
The benefits of a Botox brow lift exceed the surgical version since the injectable treatment is:
Surgery-free, so there are no incisions or scars
More natural looking with a subtle lifting effect
Not permanent, but the results can last around six months
Quick and easy to perform
Downtime free so you can get back to your normal routine right away
FDA-approved
Non-invasive
Easy to combine with other treatments for comprehensive improvement
Many people choose the Botox brow lift because it is a quick, easy, and effective way to achieve a more youthful appearance and elevated eyebrows without resorting to surgery.
How Botox Works for Brow Lifts
During a Botox brow lift, Botox is injected between the eyebrows in small doses and into the forehead muscles to smooth the skin and elevate the brows. By treating these areas, the eyebrow muscles are relaxed, which gives them a lifting effect while also minimizing the look of forehead lines and wrinkles. While the lift from a Botox brow lift is subtle and usually somewhere between one and three millimeters, that's enough to make a difference.
Duration of Results
Like using Botox elsewhere on the face, a Botox brow lift will produce results that should last for about three to four months. Some people may notice the effects wear away before that, while others might be able to stretch out their results for up to six months.
Considerations Before Getting a Botox Brow Lift
Before getting a Botox brow lift, it's crucial to understand how much of a lifting effect the treatment will provide. If you have saggy skin, droopy eyelids, or low-hanging eyebrows, a Botox brow lift can help open the eyes and lift heavy-looking brows. We always recommend a consultation to make sure that the treatment is right for you.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long do the results of a Botox brow lift typically last?
The results of a Botox brow lift last three to four months, but some people notice the lifting effects lasting up to six months. Once the results disappear after a few months, it's time for a repeat treatment.
What areas of the face are targeted with a Botox brow lift?
The injection sites usually used during a Botox brow lift include the forehead, around the eyebrows, and between the brows. All these areas contain muscles that can be targeted to relax them and give a lifting effect.
Are there any side effects or risks associated with a Botox brow lift?
A Botox brow lift is safe, but anytime Botox is injected into the face, there's always the chance of a side effect. Mild redness, swelling, and bruising at the injection site are normal and to be expected, as are headaches and soreness. Call our office immediately if you notice any numbness, breathing difficulties, droopy brows or eyelids, or problems eating and swallowing.
Who is an ideal candidate for a Botox brow lift?
The ideal candidate for a Botox brow lift is bothered by their sagging brows but does not want a surgical brow lift.
Can a Botox brow lift be combined with other cosmetic procedures?
Yes, a Botox brow lift can often be combined, and often is combined, with other procedures, such as fillers and laser resurfacing.
