A Brief History Of Botox
Before considering what a Botox brow lift is, it is interesting to discover how Botox was first adapted for cosmetic use quite by a happy accident. Botulinum toxin was first discovered back in 1928 but the toxin’s cosmetic applications were first discovered in 1987, by Canadian eye doctor Jean Carruthers who was using Botox to treat blepharospasm in a patient.
One of her patients reported that the injections made the lines in her forehead disappear. Dr Jean revealed this discovery to her husband, dermatologist Alastair Carruthers, and the couple devoted their time to experimenting with their wrinkle-relaxing discovery. Over the last 30 years, cosmetic procedures using Botox have become some of the most popular treatments, with techniques perfected to deliver effective wrinkle reduction and facial rejuvenation.
What Is A Botox Brow Lift And How Does It Work?
These Botox injections work by relaxing underlying muscles to reduce dynamic wrinkles and smooth your skin, while allowing the forehead muscles to elevate the now-relaxed muscles, creating an arched eyebrow effect.
Additional Botox injections can also be placed at the ends of the eyebrows to help relax those muscles as this allows the forehead muscles to pull up that area as well. Botox is a non-surgical procedure and is very different from a traditional brow lift, which is a type of cosmetic surgery that involves incisions and removal of your skin and can result in significant downtime.
At PHI Clinic, we recommend scheduling treatments every 3-4 months to maintain optimal results and keep your facial expressions looking natural and rejuvenated.
Why Have A Botox Brow Lift, And Who Will Benefit The Most From It?
Many of us look into the mirror and who we see looking back is the person we know so well but a version that is slightly more wrinkly than we remember. For lots of us, the next port of call is the array of expensive and beautifully perfumed serums and creams, but whilst a good skincare routine is great for the outer layers of our epidermis, they can not correct the muscular dynamism which is the cause of the furrows.
Both men and women with moderate to severe frown lines, droopy brows, or hooded eyelids can benefit from this type of brow lift technique. It is particularly effective for those with sagging skin or heavy brows that need a lift to enhance their facial features. This non-surgical brow lift is an effective treatment for achieving an arched brow and reducing forehead wrinkles without invasive procedures.
At this time, they will discuss your main concerns and explain any individual risk factors and aftercare routines and offer you a cooling-off period to consider the treatment and its benefits for you.
