Botox Brow Lift for a Drooping Brow
It almost goes without saying. Botox is one of the best treatments for diminishing fine lines, wrinkles and furrows that result as we age. What’s more, it’s particularly effective on the brow. In fact, Botox Cosmetic is FDA-approved specifically for the forehead. So what does that mean if you’re considering a Botox Brow Lift? The same things that make it great for wrinkles also make it a top treatment for lifting the eyebrow. Here’s all you need to know about restoring a youthful appearance to the brow:
What is a Botox Brow Lift?
So you already know that Botox injectable reduces wrinkles and fine lines. You may also know that these injections weaken the contraction of muscles. In a nutshell, by reducing movement, expression in the area softens. This mechanism of action also works for reversing drooping brows. In essence, the muscles in this area are heavy and strong. By relaxing them, they no longer have the capacity to pull the eyebrows down.
What Before and After Results Can I Expect?
Botox Browlift results can include:
- Lifting and lengthening the area above the brow
- Restoring a youthful arch to the forehead
- Creating a more open eye area
- Defining the brow bone
Where to Inject Botox on the Forehead for Lifting?
Where to place a Botox injection typically depends on a person’s individual anatomy, as well as their skincare goals. Specifically, injections in the procerus muscles (between and above the eyebrows) are often warranted to correct droopy brows. Additionally, injections along the orbicularis oculi muscles (above the eye and below the eyebrow area) may be needed. Less commonly, injections on the upper portion of the forehead can be added to further relax the brow area.
How Many Units of Botox for Brow Lift?
Generally speaking, a Botox Brow Lift will require between 5-7 units on each side of the brows. Again, specific amounts will depend on your unique needs. To this end, we always recommend speaking with a physician about what’s right for you, given your specific beauty goals and the extent of aging on your face.
How Long for Treatment to Take Effect? How Long Does Botox Last in the Brow?
Typically, Botox results can be seen 3-7 days following injection with maintenance required every 3-6 months.
