Have you heard of the Botox Eyebrow Lift?
You may have heard of Botox being used to treat wrinkles on the forehead, this isn’t anything new.
But have you ever heard of it being used as a non-surgical eyebrow lift?
That’s correct!
We can actually carefully pinpoint injection points areas around your eyebrows which when injected with Botox, create a naturally lifted look.
With a procedure that is minimally invasive, really quick and relatively pain-free, a Botox eyebrow lift is a great option for anyone who wishes to achieve subtle opening of the eye and brow area.
Whilst there are a few surgical options for raising the eyebrows, often our patients don’t want to drastically change their appearance, opting for a more subtle and natural change. This is where using Botox comes in.

So how does the Botox eyebrow lift work?
In essence, when we age, the muscles around our eyes and eyebrows pull downwards, making us look older. (Other factors such as our bone structure and skin quality do come into play also.) You may not know but Botox (or its technical name Botulinum Toxin – hence ‘Bo-Tox’) is a neuromodulator. By injecting it into these muscles, we can relax them. The muscles that control our frown and eye movement are know as ‘depressor’ muscles which means when contracted they pull downwards. When inject Botox into these ‘depressor’ muscles they no longer can pull downwards but relax and open, therefore a lift is achieved.
Note: we will never be able to freeze your forehead and lift your brows as your your forehead works in the opposite fashion as elevates your brows, we need to leave that action well alone if we want to lift!
This lift will last for a similar amount of time as Botox in all other areas, around three to four months. After this time a repeat treatment would be advisable. In turn, the treatment can help to smooth out wrinkles and signs of ageing to give a natural, more youthful look.

What happens at my Botox eyebrow lift appointment?
Before my treatment
Before the treatment, you will have an in-depth consultation with our expert medically trained nurses. They will assess your skin type and whether you would be viable for a brow lift in this way. As Botox needs to be prescribed, you would need to have this appointment, before your treatment. During this appointment our nurses will listen to your desired results and make suggestions on how we can work together to achieve them.
Our nurses will never suggest a treatment for you that they do not think will work. Rest assured that they will do all they can to help guide you in your decision-making.
During my treatment
During the procedure, our nurses will take time to mark up the injection sites. They will assess where will be best to inject to achieve the desired results. The nurse will then make a number of small injections around the eyebrow and frown area. These are relatively pain-free, similar to Botox injections in the forehead. (or an eyebrow hair pluck)
After
Aftercare for the Botox eyebrow lift is fairly simple, the same as with all our Botox treatments. You may notice some mild swelling around the injection sites. This should start to go down after the first few hours or days after your treatment.
As always, our expert nurses will explain thoroughly what to do after your treatment. You will also have access to our emergency hotline should you need to speak to someone after.
