Brow Lifting
Non-Surgical Brow Lift – For lifting and elevating the brows
As we age, gravity tends to win and due to the natural ageing process, the tissues in our skin become less supported, allowing the skin to drop and sag. We usually see this on areas such as the jowl and nose to mouth lines, however it is no different when it comes to the eyes and the tissue that surrounds them. That’s why we offer effective brow lift treatments here at DrBK.
A brow lift is a type of procedure that allows your brows to lift and elevate. Please see below some before and after photos of our patients and also some frequently asked questions.

Brow Lift Options For Mild to Moderate Cases
Anti-Wrinkle Injections
The most common brow lifting treatment in non-surgical aesthetics involves injections into the target muscle, allowing it to temporarily relax. This can help to soften facial expressions and improve the signs of ageing. This treatment allows certain muscles to become less active which in turn encourages others to become more active, which allows the brows to lift. This in turn can open the eye area and lift the surrounding skin, offering an anti-ageing effect.
Brow Lift Options For Moderate to Severe Cases
Injections + Thread Lifting
In the more moderate to severe cases we are able to use PDO Threads in conjunction with the original brow lift treatment, to lift the tissue further. These threads stay in the forehead region for up to 6 months and allow the body to produce collagen at the same time. Learn more about the Thread Lift procedure today.
Utilising both anti-wrinkle injections and thread lifting is the preferred method for those cases that require it. However usually treating the brow area with anti-wrinkle injections alone is highly effective in most cases.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long until I see the benefits of the Brow Lift?
The product usually takes 2-3 days to start working but can take up to 2 weeks. The effects can last up to 4 months depending on the strength of your muscles and your individual response to the product.
Are there any side effects?
Like all treatments, there may be some side effects, however any reactions are generally minimal and temporary. You may have some bruising or bleeding where the needle has been placed however this will subside within a few days.
Very rarely, anti-wrinkle injections may result in muscle weakness. All other rare (although possible) side effects can be found within the patient information leaflet which comes with the product. This will be given to you after your consultation, should you decide to go ahead with booking the treatment.
If you are concerned or feel you are having a reaction please do not hesitate to contact us or your GP.
What can I expect on the day?
Before your treatment, we will remove any makeup and cleanse the area. The product is placed into the muscle with a fine needle. You may find that there can be some slight discomfort as the needle enters the skin during the treatment, however the procedure is extremely quick and most patients find it completely painless. However, if you are sensitive we can use a topical anaesthetic cream.
The treatment itself will take 15 minutes and you can return to your usual activities immediately afterwards.
Aftercare?
After a brow lift at DrBK, we advise you to avoid the following for up to 2 weeks;
- Beauty treatments (such as facials, facial massages etc)
- Saunas (and other extreme temperatures)
You will be invited to attend a review appointment 3 weeks later for any adjusting that may be necessary.
