Can I Have a Brow Lift With Botox? - Cosmetic Surgery Guide


Cosmetic Surgery Enquiry

Botox, also known as Botulinum Toxin, is one of the most widely used agents in cosmetic treatments, and in fact has many therapeutic uses in general medicine as well. Of the many cosmetic applications of Botox, one of the popular options is its use in non-surgical brow lifts.

What is Botox?

Botulinum toxin, known commercially as Botox, is actually a protein produced by a particular bacteria, and can boast being the most lethal neurotoxin (poison affecting the brain and nerves of the body) known to man. This may be a surprise and may cause you to worry, but Botox has been used medically for decades with great success. Botulinum toxin type A is the particular substance used in cosmetic, and has been known for its superb effects on wrinkles and skin tone. Other applications for Botox include the treatment of muscle spasms and chronic migraine, and this is because Botox works by decreasing muscle contraction. In its cosmetic role Botox actually paralyses facial muscles, giving them the characteristic youthful appearance for which the treatment has become known.

Small doses of Botox are used medically, and the version of the substance used has undergone some processing to make it safer.

Botox brow lifts

One of the main objectives of a brow lift is to get rid of the wrinkling, and sometimes sagging, that is part of aging. The surgical method involves removing some skin and fat while also tightening the muscles around the target area to achieve results that a simple Botox injection can provide. Botox effectively gets rid of furrows and wrinkles by relaxing the muscles around the eyebrows and forehead to counteract aging or correct drooping or sagging.

Why get a Botox brow lift?

People tend to opt for the Botox option because of its effectiveness, and the fact that going for a surgery is always a riskier and more costly endeavour. Botox treatments for brow lift purposes can be performed on virtually anyone, and can be extremely effective without the need for a surgical opening, the risks of infection, and the longer recovery time.
