Achieving a youthful and refreshed look is something that many people strive for. Botox brow lifting is a non-surgical procedure that can help you achieve this goal. Blake recommends starting on either side of the face, just below the orbital rim, as this is the key injection site for a brow lift. As with any aesthetic medical procedure, to perform a brow lift, you need to understand the intricate anatomy of the muscles that lie beneath the skin to achieve the desired result.
A Botox brow lift requires an injection into multiple areas of the upper facial region to achieve the desired lifting effects. A dose of approximately 20 units will be injected into the glabellar region (the area between the eyebrows) and approximately 10 to 15 units along each of the eyes, into the orbicular muscle of the eye. The provider injects Botox in several key locations just above or below the eyebrows, between the eyes and near the temple. The injections are quick and minimally invasive. When Botox is applied to problem areas around the eyebrows, the muscles relax and the skin on the top becomes smoother.
The muscles around the eyebrows stretch upwards, raising the eyebrows and making the patient's eyes appear more open. Patients are thrilled to see that they look alert, lively and rested. But it's not just your eyebrows. This treatment can be used everywhere to treat many aesthetic problems. While Botox is known for softening aspects of the face, it is also possible to use Botox injections to lift the eyebrows. In some cases, a patient may decide to have a traditional brow lift as well as Botox injections.
Botox brow lifting is a non-surgical procedure that involves the use of the most popular injectable neurotoxin: Botox. Botox brow lifting effectively lifts the eyebrows, smoothes the lines between them and gives them a rejuvenated appearance. Things like pregnancy, certain medical conditions, and types of medications may prevent you from being a suitable candidate for treatment, or maybe Botox simply won't adequately address your skin problems. But at Boulder Plastic Surgery, here in Boulder, Colorado, we can revitalize your skin and take years off your life with Botox. Today, many patients prefer the Botox brow lift, a non-surgical procedure that provides similar results without downtime or potential scarring.
The amount of Botox needed for a brow lift depends on the patient's unique physical characteristics and the desired results. If your eyebrows fall out or sag due to muscle movements, you're likely to get better results with Botox than if your brow problems were related to fat loss. On average, women need 4 to 8 units of Botox along the brow, 20 units for the glabellar lines between the eyebrows and 10 to 24 units of Botox for horizontal forehead wrinkles. The Botox provider you choose will explain how to prepare for brow lift treatment during your initial consultation. There is virtually no downtime after receiving a Botox brow lift, allowing you to return to your daily routine without any signs or symptoms of the procedure.
Botox brow lifting has the added benefit of improving the appearance of existing wrinkles around the eyes and the area of the forehead where Botox has been applied, and preventing the formation of new ones. However, a Botox brow lift can correct this and leave fewer wrinkles and a more youthful, fresher appearance. Botox brow lifting effectively lifts the eyebrows and softens the skin between the eyebrows, providing a fresher and more rejuvenated appearance.
