A Botox brow lift is not a technique for physically lifting the eyebrows, but a way to create the appearance of a more foxy eyebrow contour, with the inside parts of the brow injected with Botox to help the outer brow look more lifted.

Botox is FDA approved for injection into the skin for treating moderate to severe wrinkles that form throughout the face when moving certain muscles. It is commonly used around the eyes and mouth and can also be used to correct excessive sweating and to correct smiles that are overly gummy.

Botox may not be the best solution for wrinkling under the eyes, as these wrinkles can be due to volume loss rather than over-active muscles. Your doctor will be able to tell you whether Botox is right for your specific concerns during a consultation.

The results of your Botox injections aren’t permanent, and will need to be re-done after three to four months. Botox is safe and results in minimal side effects, although the injection site may be sensitive or swollen for a few days following treatment.

There’s no wrong time to get your first Botox treatment, and some studies suggest that regular Botox treatments early in life can help delay the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles due to reduced muscle movement in key areas of the face.

Most patients notice their Botox treatments wear off after about three or four months.
