A Botox brow lift is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that uses Botox (botulinum toxin) to lift and elevate the position of the eyebrows, creating a more open, youthful, and refreshed appearance. It works by targeting specific muscles around the eyebrows to relax them, allowing the muscles that lift the brows to become more dominant.
How Botox Brow Lift Works:
1. Targeted Injection: Botox is injected into the muscles that pull the eyebrows down, particularly the glabella muscles (between the eyebrows) and sometimes the orbicularis oculi (around the eyes). This reduces the activity of these muscles, allowing the frontalis muscle (responsible for lifting the brows) to pull the eyebrows upward.
2. Effect: The overall result is a slight lift in the brows, making the eyes appear more open and reducing the appearance of hooded eyes or sagging skin around the upper eyelid.
3. Results: Results start to appear within 3 to 5 days, with full results visible in about 2 weeks. The effects last approximately 3 to 4 months, after which the treatment can be repeated.
