5 THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT BROW-TOX

Browtox is a non-surgical brow lift in which Botox injections are placed strategically around your brows - giving them an instant lift, defined shape, and smoothing of the surrounding skin. Browtox eliminates droopy eyes, sagging eyebrows and helps open the eyes giving them the lift they need for a more youthful appearance. Many know this secret: The brow shape can change the entire shape of your face.

One of the first areas to start showing signs of aging is the eyes. The skin around your eyes is different from the rest of your face. The eyelids and under-eyes have the thinnest skin on the entire body, at only 0.5mm thick.

Chances are the first wrinkly you see on your face as you get older will be around your eye area. The skin under the eyes can easily start to look puffy if you are tired or stressed. When a face start to show age, the eye area usually gets the worst of it.

Wrinkles are deepest in areas where oil glands are less concentrated which is why crow’s feet are a typical first sign of aging. Sure eye creams can work but they do not give the full maximum results that Botox would. Browtox injections directly target the brows to give them the right shape for your face - as well as smooth the surrounding skin - to significantly raise the eyebrow area.

Browtox also known as the Non-Surgical Eyebrow Lift is a treatment that will most likely take no more than 15 minutes. That’s less than the typical eyebrow makeup process. The browtox treatment will enhance the eye shape and fine lines around the eyes which will create smoother, softer skin to apply make up.

  1. Brow-tox can gently improve the appearance of hooded eyes or lowered eyelids.

  2. Even patients who have had a surgical brow or eyelid lift (blepharoplasty) do benefit from a Botox brow lift.

  3. It is a quick treatment and doesn't result in any bruising or downtime (minimal redness or small bumps seconds after injection is completely normal).

  4. When will I see results? Patients usually notice the effects of Botox after five to seven days. Skin starts to gets a little smoother and lines become less pronounced. After about twelve days, you’ll likely see the full effects, such as a lifted brow, a lessening in fine lines, or severe lines not appearing as you move your face.

  5. The injections also help the eyes appear wider, helping rid that tired or sad look that often leads to a “sagging eyebrow look”.

What to avoid doing?

You should avoid exercise for a couple of hours, but you can go back to a desk job or school.
