Non-Surgical Brow Lift: Botox, Threads and Energy Devices
Opening up the eyes with a subtle lift
A slightly lifted brow makes the eyes look more open and refreshed. As we age, brows can drop and make the upper eyelids look heavy. Several non-surgical options can raise the brow a few millimetres. Here is how they compare.
Key takeaways
- Botox brow lift: relaxes muscles that pull the brow down.
- Threads: lift the brow tail mechanically.
- HIFU and RF: tighten the forehead and brow area.
- Filler: supports a flat brow bone in some cases.
- Expectations: subtle lift, not a surgical change.
