Why Do Eyebrows Sag, and How Can a Botox Brow Lift Help?
Do you have sagging eyebrows and forehead wrinkles? If so, you’re not alone. Luckily, the non-surgical Botox brow lift can help. Countless patients have decided that this minimally invasive option is the right choice for them. If you’re wondering why your eyebrows sag and whether a Botox brow lift in Swansea can help, it’s time to find out more.
Why Do Eyebrows Sag?
The eyebrows droop over time as a result of numerous factors. The muscles of the brow lose strength and begin to stretch naturally due to the aging process. Tissue is lost from the face’s underlying fat layer.
The skin also becomes thinner, and its elasticity declines, causing the skin to become lax and saggy. This is the result of a natural reduction in collagen and elastin protein production in the skin tissues. Sun damage and smoking break down existing collagen and elastin, contributing to this issue.
Major weight loss can also be a factor. The skin grows to accommodate weight gain, and so after major weight loss, there is often a great deal of excess skin. This affects many areas, including the forehead and brow. Dehydration, genetics, and gravity’s constant downward pull also contribute to brow skin laxity.
One of the main contributing factors to drooping brows is repeated muscle use. After repeated contractions over the course of a person’s life, the forehead muscles become stiff and find it more difficult to return to an at-rest position. This results in sagging brows, along with the formation of horizontal forehead wrinkles, glabellar lines between the brows, and crow’s feet around the eyes.
These changes to the brow and forehead create an aged appearance. They make people look constantly tired, upset, or frustrated. With a Botox brow lift, patients can regain their calm, fresh, awake, and youthful appearance.
How Can a Botox Brow Lift Fix My Sagging Eyebrows?
The Botox brow lift improves the appearance of your forehead and eyebrows. This technique involves delivering Botox into the muscles of the forehead.
Botox blocks nerve signals to the targeted facial muscles. This inhibits one’s ability to contract their eyebrows, helping the forehead muscles relax back to an at-rest state. The Botox brow lift has a rebalancing effect on the area, lifting eyebrows and smoothing away wrinkles.
A Botox brow lift only takes around 15 minutes. The area is first cleaned, removing any dirt and skincare products. Next, the intended injection sites are marked as a guide for the injector, enhancing precision. Anesthetic may be administered to prevent any pain during the treatment session.
After this, Botox is injected into the area between the eyes and along the brow using a fine needle. Typically, 20 to 30 units of Botox Cosmetic are deposited into the muscles. This creates a lift of around five millimeters for sagging brows. After the Botox is injected, the treatment is complete.
Patients are able to see changes in their brows and forehead after around 48 hours. These results can last for three to four months, and maintenance treatments are available.
