The Ultimate Guide to Non-Surgical Brow Lifts – What You Need to Know
What Is a Non-Surgical Brow Lift?
A non-surgical brow lift uses minimally invasive treatments, such as injectables and dermal fillers, to elevate the brows, smooth out wrinkles, and create a more elevated appearance, without the need for any surgery. This procedure is perfect for those who want a subtle yet effective enhancement and minimal downtime.
There are four main muscles in our face that are involved in brow movement:
01 - Frontalis (Primary Elevator)
Elevates the eyebrows and creates horizontal forehead wrinkles.
02 - Corrugator Supercilii (Primary Depressor)
Draws the eyebrows downward and inward, causing vertical frown lines (glabellar lines).
03 - Orbicularis Oculi (Lateral Part Depressor)
Closes the eyelids and contributes to the downward pull of the lateral brow.
04 - Procerus (Depressor)
Pulls the center of the eyebrows downward, creating horizontal wrinkles at the top of the nose.
Injectable neuromodulators work by relaxing the muscles that pull the brows downward, allowing the forehead muscles to lift the brows naturally. These kind of injectables weaken the Corrugator Supercilii, Procerus, and lateral Orbicularis Oculi, reducing their downward pull, and allow the Frontalis to work unopposed, creating a subtle brow lift.
Dermal fillers, primarily composed of hyaluronic acid, are used in a non-surgical brow lift to restore lost volume, provide structural support, and create a subtle lifting effect. Fillers reduce the effects of brow depressors (Corrugator, Supercilii, Procerus and Orbicularis Oculi) without directly affecting muscle function like injectable neuromodulators do. Fillers influence muscle dynamics by altering the tension, balance, and movement of facial muscles involved in brow positioning.
The Benefits of a Non-Surgical Brow Lift
This treatment is minimally invasive, and requires no cuts, stitches, or general anaesthesia. This makes it a convenient option for those seeking subtle enhancements, and with a quick recovery time, most individuals can return to their normal activities immediately afterwards.
The results are highly customisable, allowing treatments to be tailored to achieve the desired brow shape and height, and unlike surgical procedures, the effects of injectables are reversible, gradually wearing off over time and providing the flexibility to adjust as needed.
