What is a brow lift?
​
The most common form of non-surgical brow lift is a chemical brow lift that utilises botulinum toxin.
​
Certain muscles play “tug-of-war” with areas of the face. The squinting muscles pulling the eyebrow downwards while the forehead muscles pull it upward. Overtime this upward holding effect weakens due to excessive use and gravitational pull. When coupled to natural ageing causing a loss of skin fat, a ‘sagging’ look, particularly over the lateral aspect of the eyes, making the eyes look tired or sleepy is seen.
​
Aim of treatment.
​
A lateral brow lift is achieved by treating the lateral orbicularis oculi muscles (just under the eyebrow), in turn this will decrease the depressive muscle strength, allowing the 'tail' of the eye brow to be raised by the now unopposed elevating forehead muscles lifting up the eyebrows, hence lifting the skin up and opening the eye.
​
The botox injections are a simple and safe procedure, involving a several small, superficial injections into the lateral orbicularis oculi muscle so that its depressive muscular action is reduced.
​
since the location of the injection, correlates to the look achieved, this technique can also be used to help correct eyebrow facial asymmetry.
​
​Botulinum toxin is a prescription-only procedure and will only be performed following our face-to-face medical consultation with a medical practitioner prior to botox being administered.
