A non-surgical brow lift using botulinum toxin (botox brow lift) has become a popular cosmetic procedure at Dr Hanson’s clinic in London.
This treatment offers a subtler and less invasive alternative to traditional surgical methods.
By carefully targeting specific muscles in the brow area, botulinum toxin can create an elevated, more youthful appearance to the eyebrows. Here’s an in-depth look at how it’s done.
What is Botulinum Toxin?
Botulinum toxin is a purified protein derived from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. When introduced in precise amounts into the body, it can temporarily block nerve signals to muscles, leading to a relaxation of the targeted muscle.
How Does a Botulinum Toxin Brow Lift Work?
The position and arch of the eyebrows are largely determined by a balance between various facial muscles:
- The frontalis muscle lifts the brow.
- The orbicularis oculi, procerus, and corrugator supercilii muscles pull the brow down and inwards.
By injecting botulinum toxin into the muscles that pull the brow downward and inwards, they are made to relax, causing the lifting muscles (frontalis) to become relatively more dominant. This results in a subtle lift to the brow.
How Long Does Botulinum Toxin Last?
Effects typically last 3-6 months, varying depending on factors like individual age, metabolism, and injection site.
How do I know Botulinum Toxin is right for me?

Consultation: The first step is a thorough consultation with a trained practitioner. This allows the patient to discuss desired outcomes and for the practitioner to assess the patient’s anatomy and determine the injection points.
Preparation: The area to be treated is cleaned, and a topical anaesthetic might be applied, although the injections are generally well-tolerated due to the use of fine needles.
Injection: The practitioner strategically administers botulinum toxin injections into the targeted muscles, typically focusing on the muscles that depress the brow.
Safety & Side Effects: Botulinum toxin treatments are generally safe when performed by experienced professionals. Potential side effects include temporary redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site. In rare cases, unintended muscle relaxation can occur, such as eyelid ptosis (drooping), but this is temporary and can be mitigated with proper injection technique.
Frequently Asked Questions About A Botox Brow Lift
How does a botox brow lift work?
A botox brow lift is a non-surgical procedure offered by Dr Hanson from his clinic on Harley Street to elevate and reshape the eyebrows for a refreshed, youthful appearance. Botox is injected into specific areas above the brows to temporarily relax the muscles that pull them down, allowing the natural arch to lift slightly higher. This creates smoother skin and a more open look until the botox wears off and the muscles regain movement.
Am I suitable for a botox brow lift at your clinic in London?
Both men and women with moderate to severe frown lines could benefit from a botox brow lift at our London clinic. This procedure is particularly suitable for those experiencing significant sagging skin, drooping eyelids, or low-hanging eyebrows, as it helps create a lifted and refreshed appearance. If you’re unsure whether this treatment is right for you, Dr Hanson would be happy to discuss your concerns and help determine the best approach to achieve your desired results.
What results should you expect from a botox brow lift?
A Botox brow lift delivers a more lifted and youthful look around the eyes. By relaxing the orbicularis oculi muscles, which are responsible for pulling the eyebrows downward, the procedure creates a subtle lift that makes the eyes appear more open and refreshed.
When will you see results from a botox brow lift?
You can expect to see results from a Botox brow lift within 5 to 14 days after the injections. However, some patients notice improvements as early as 2-3 days, giving a more lifted and refreshed appearance.
How long does botox last for a brow lift?
The results of a Botox brow lift typically last around three to four months. To maintain the lifted and refreshed look, Dr. Hanson recommends coming back for touch-ups every three months or so.
Will a brow lift with botox look natural?
A brow lift with botox can deliver subtle yet impactful changes, giving dramatic results that still look natural. When performed by a skilled practitioner like Dr. Hanson, the treatment is designed to seamlessly integrate with your facial features, enhancing your appearance without looking overdone.
