You Might be a Candidate for a Botox Brow Lift if:
Although botox brow lifts can be performed on just about anyone, there are certain factors that make you a particularly good candidate:

How Does a Botox Brow Lift Work?
Botox is injected into the muscles that are responsible for pulling the eyebrow down. This weakens the muscles and the result is that eyebrows are lifted. A botox brow lift lifts up the brows by a few millimeters.

What Can you Expect?
Typically, patients will not experience any side effects. Some patients may experience hypersensitivity at the injection site, which may result in light bleeding. However, the most common side effect is bruising. In this case, makeup can be used to hide it. The treatment only lasts a few minutes. Anesthesia is not generally used as patients typically only experience very mild discomfort.

How Long Does a Botox Brow Lift Last?
Patients can expect botox brow lifts to last typically between three and six months.
