What is brow lift with Botox?

Wrinkles begin to appear when the skin loses elastin and cannot flex the muscles underneath.

It appears most clearly when you smile, stare, widen your eyes suddenly, or raise an eyebrow.

Botox injections to raise eyebrows are known as a type of procedure that treats frown lines between the eyebrows, and it also increases the height of the eyebrows.

These injections work by disrupting the nerve signal in the facial muscles being injected, resulting in a temporary weakening of the muscles.

 This relaxes the underlying muscles to smooth out your skin, and relaxes the muscles between the eyebrows.

This allows the forehead muscles to tighten the loosened muscles between the eyebrows, thus raising the eyebrows and opening the eyes.

Additional injections of Botox (botulinum toxin type A) may be placed at the ends of the eyebrows to help relax the muscles as well.

The amount of lift you get varies depending on your age and strength of muscles that are left active to tighten loose muscles.

This procedure can help smooth out deep wrinkles (frown lines) without surgery.

The injections also help the eyes to appear wider, which helps to get rid of the tired or sad look that often accompanies sagging eyebrows.

Some people benefit from injecting Botox on the tips of the eyebrows, which provides additional lift in the forehead area.
