11s are the muscles that cause recognizable lines between the brows. These muscles are technically known as corrugator muscles or corrugator supercilia. It starts from the mid-brow, extends along the eye socket, and reaches the inner corner of the eyes. This small muscle is responsible for many cosmetological issues like frown lines. The orbicularis oculi is the muscle that encircles the entire eye area and covers the rest of the brow area. It is responsible for eyelids closing and causes crow’s feet wrinkles.

Botox and Dysport both relax the muscles that allow the arch and outer corner of your brows to naturally raise and open up the appearance of the entire eye area. The physician injects the neurotoxin specifically into the muscles that cause the drop without touching the frontalis muscles in the forehead. If the frontalis muscle gets injected, it opposes the effects of relaxing the corrugator and orbicularis oculi muscle resulting in a frozen look instead of lifting the brows.

The procedure of Botox is simple and effective. It removes the forehead lines, sagging eyebrows, and appearance of upper eyelid hooding. The physician injects a small amount of Botox or Dysport in the lateral section of the Brow to lift it up. He skillfully injects the neurotoxin into key areas of the glabella and forehead areas to provide you with a youthful appearance.

The brow lift is much preferred over the surgical procedure because it provides a more subtle and natural look. There are many different ways to inject Botox or Dysport in the brow area. It depends on the patient’s anatomy. The injectable expert marks the key areas before initiating the treatment.

Patients will likely see the full results after fourteen days of the treatment that lasts for three to five months. Ongoing treatments and regular upkeep reverse the existing brow drop. It decelerates the natural aging process and prevents the lowering of the forehead or brow region over time.

You can go back to your everyday pursuits after your treatment is complete. Avoid rubbing or massaging the treatment area after receiving injections to prevent the spreading of neurotoxin from the brow area. If you want the treatment results to last longer, you will need to follow-up maintenance treatments.

Anyone bothered by moderate to severe signs of aging in the brow region is considered ideal for the treatment. The brow lift is suitable for people with sagging skin around the eyes. In addition, it can be used to achieve the “cat eye” or the “fox eye” look. But, if you are expecting or breastfeeding, you may not be a good candidate for the procedure. This is because the active agent of Botox and Dysport have not been studied in these groups or may threaten the unborn fetuses or the babies.

Though Botox and Dysport are safe for most people, the mild side effects may include swelling, bruising, and redness at the injection site. These after-effects resolve within 24 hours. Very few people experience numbness, soreness, or headaches that are not even something to worry about. However, if you notice changes in speech, droopy eyelids, difficult breathing, or difficulty swallowing or eating, then consult your health care provider immediately.

The brow lift treatment does not hurt and does not require numbing cream. However, physicians may offer an ice pack after the procedure to reduce discomfort quickly.
