What is a Botox Brow Lift?

A Botox brow lift is a popular, non-invasive injectable treatment designed to lift and lengthen the skin above the brow and forehead. An alternative to invasive plastic surgery, a Botox brow lift or Fox Eye Brow Lift opens up the eye area and creates a more defined brow bone without the need for any extensive downtime or side effects. The cosmetic effects from the procedure last 3-4 months, and patients regularly engage in maintenance sessions to keep and enhance the treatment results.

How does Botox work?

Botox is a neuromodulator treatment that contains the active ingredient botulinum toxin type A, a neurotoxin that blocks the neurotransmitters at the injection site. Botox disrupts nerve signalling when injected into specific facial muscles, causing temporary muscle weakening and stopping the muscle’s ability to contract.

Can Botox lift the eyebrows?

A Botox eyebrow lift is an effective non-surgical procedure for producing a natural brow lift. Two opposing muscle groups largely control the position of the eyebrows. A group of muscles containing the orbicularis oculi, procerus, and corrugator supercilii pulls the eyebrows down while the frontalis muscle elevates them. Botox can temporarily relax the muscles that pull the brows down and allow the frontalis muscle to elevate the eyebrows unopposed. The result of these Botox injections is a subtle brow lift with a natural-looking appearance.

Where do you have Botox Injections for a Botox Brow Lift?

The exact placement of the Botox will depend on the patient’s specific anatomy. Suppose the patient has very low-set droopy brows. In that case, Botox should be carefully injected into the procerus muscle (between the eyebrows) and the orbicularis oculi muscles (around the eyes) to pull the outer brow up. For some patients, Botox may also need to be injected into the upper portion of the forehead to relax the forehead muscle and pull the brows up further. When you consult with our experienced Botox specialists at Schon Aesthetic Birmingham, we will assess your facial anatomy to determine the best Botox placement for your brow lift procedure.

Who is a good candidate for a non-surgical brow lift?

The best candidate for a non-surgical brow lift with Botox is based on a patient’s anatomy and the degree of facial sagging. If you have a noticeable drooping of the brow line or deep lines across the forehead or between the eyebrows, you may be a good candidate for a Botox brow lift. A Botox brow lift may also be the answer for an uneven (asymmetric) brow line or a “worried” or “angry” appearance.

What are the side effects of the Botox brow lift procedure?

Few side effects are associated with the Botox brow lift procedure. Patients may experience mild redness or swelling at the injection sites, which resolve independently within a few days of treatment

How long does it take Botox to “kick in”?

While some patients may feel the effects of Botox within a few days of treatment, it takes roughly two weeks for Botox to fully “kick in.” At Schon Aesthetic Birmingham we always welcome patients to come back to the clinic to evaluate the treatment area and ensure that the injections are effective.

Do Botox injections for a nonsurgical brow lift hurt?

Botox injections do not hurt when injected for the brow lift and the forehead, crow’s feet, furrows, or other facial muscles. However, some patients are more sensitive to cosmetic injections than others. If you are sensitive to injections, we recommend applying a topical numbing cream one hour before your treatment to minimize any potential discomfort from the Botox injections.

How much does a Botox brow lift cost?

The price for Botox varies based on the injector’s experience. If you consult with our experienced Advanced injector, Rose, the cost of a Botox brow lift will be between £350 and £500

How long does a Botox brow lift last?

A Botox brow lift can last approximately 3 to 6 months, depending on the strength of the patient’s facial muscles. The “freezing” effect dissipates when the Botox wears off, and the brow returns to its natural position. Patients can return to Schon Aesthetic 3 to 4 times yearly for a touch-up appointment to maintain and enhance the treatment results.
