What Is a Non-Surgical Brow Lift?

A non-surgical brow lift uses neuromodulators (BOTOX, Dysport, or Xeomin) and/or dermal fillers to elevate drooping eyebrows and open up the eye area. The depressor muscles, the corrugator, procerus, and lateral fibers of the orbicularis oculi, are strategically relaxed with BOTOX, allowing the frontalis (the lifting muscle) to raise the brow into a higher, more youthful position without opposition.

For patients who need more structural support, dermal fillers can be placed along the brow bone and lateral brow to physically lift and support the tissue. PDO threads are another option for patients seeking more dramatic elevation. Absorbable threads are inserted beneath the skin to mechanically lift the brow into a higher position. Dr. Avaliani often combines techniques for the most natural, comprehensive result.

How a Non-Surgical Brow Lift Works

The non-surgical brow lift follows a precise, customized protocol:

  • Dr. Avaliani analyzes your brow position, muscle dynamics, and facial symmetry to design a personalized treatment plan
  • BOTOX is precisely injected into the depressor muscles (corrugator, procerus, orbicularis oculi) to relax downward pull on the brow
  • The frontalis muscle, now unopposed, naturally lifts the brow into a higher, more open position
  • Dermal filler or PDO threads are added if additional structural lift or volume is needed along the brow bone
  • Results develop over 7-14 days for BOTOX, are immediate for fillers, and refine over 2-4 weeks for PDO threads

Brow Concerns We Treat

  • Drooping Brows

    Heavy, low-set eyebrows that hood the eyes and create a tired or aged appearance. Strategic BOTOX placement relaxes the muscles pulling the brow down, allowing it to lift naturally for a refreshed, wide-awake look.

  • Brow Asymmetry

    One brow sits higher or has a different arch than the other, creating an unbalanced facial appearance. Precise BOTOX and filler placement corrects asymmetry for a harmonious, even brow line.

  • Tired or Angry Appearance

    Low brows create an unintentionally stern, angry, or fatigued look even when you feel well-rested. A non-surgical brow lift opens up the eye area and softens the expression for a friendlier, more approachable appearance.

  • Hooded Upper Eyelids

    Excess upper eyelid skin pushed down by a low brow position, making eyes appear smaller and heavier. Lifting the brow reveals more of the eyelid and creates a brighter, more youthful eye area.

  • Loss of Brow Arch

    Flat, straight brows that lack definition and feminine curve. Strategic neuromodulator and filler placement can reshape the brow arch, creating a more defined and aesthetically pleasing contour.

  • Post-Aging Brow Descent

    Gradual lowering of brow position with age as skin loses elasticity and facial muscles weaken. Non-surgical brow lift techniques counteract this descent, restoring the brow to a more youthful height and position.

Our Non-Surgical Brow Lift Techniques

Dr. Avaliani offers multiple proven techniques for non-surgical brow lifting. Here’s what makes her approach exceptional:

  • BOTOX / Neuromodulators

    Strategic placement relaxes the depressor muscles that pull the brow down, allowing the frontalis to lift the brow naturally. A quick 5-15 minute treatment with results visible in 7-14 days. The most popular and effective non-surgical brow lift option.

  • Dermal Fillers

    Hyaluronic acid fillers placed along the brow bone and lateral brow provide structural lift and support for immediate visible results. Filler adds volume where needed to elevate the brow position, with results lasting 12-18 months.

  • PDO Thread Lift

    Absorbable threads inserted beneath the skin physically lift the brow into a higher position. Ideal for patients wanting more dramatic elevation. PDO threads also stimulate collagen production for continued improvement over 3-6 months.

Does It Hurt?

Your comfort options (we tailor this to you)

A BOTOX brow lift is virtually painless. Ultra-fine needles are used, and the entire treatment takes only 5-10 minutes. Dermal filler involves mild pressure at the injection site, and topical numbing cream is applied beforehand for maximum comfort. PDO threads involve brief pinching sensations under local anesthesia. All options have minimal downtime.

Dr. Avaliani prioritizes your comfort at every step. Pro-Nox (nitrous oxide) is available for patients who prefer additional relaxation. BOTOX patients typically return to all activities immediately. Filler patients may have mild swelling for 1-2 days. PDO thread patients may experience slight tenderness for 3-5 days. Most patients are pleasantly surprised by how comfortable and quick the procedure is.

Non-Surgical Brow Lift frequently asked questions

  • What is a non-surgical brow lift?

    A non-surgical brow lift uses BOTOX, dermal fillers, or PDO threads to elevate drooping eyebrows and open up the eye area without surgery. By relaxing the muscles that pull the brow down and/or adding structural support, the brow is lifted into a higher, more youthful position.

  • How does BOTOX lift the brows?

    BOTOX is injected into the depressor muscles (corrugator, procerus, and lateral orbicularis oculi) that pull the brow downward. Once these muscles are relaxed, the frontalis muscle on the forehead can lift the brow unopposed, creating a natural elevation of 2-4 millimeters.

  • Does a non-surgical brow lift hurt?

    BOTOX brow lift is virtually painless using ultra-fine needles and takes only 5-10 minutes. Dermal filler involves mild pressure with topical numbing applied beforehand. PDO threads are performed with local anesthesia and involve brief pinching sensations. Most patients tolerate all options very well.

  • How long do non-surgical brow lift results last?

    BOTOX brow lift results typically last 3-4 months. Dermal filler results last 12-18 months depending on the product used. PDO thread results last 12-18 months as the threads dissolve while stimulating collagen production. Maintenance treatments extend your results over time.

  • Will my brow lift look natural?

    Yes. Dr. Avaliani uses conservative, precise technique to achieve a subtle, natural-looking lift that refreshes your appearance without looking “done.” The goal is to restore your brow to a more youthful position while preserving natural expression and movement.

  • Can a non-surgical brow lift fix hooded eyes?

    If your hooded eyelids are caused by a low brow position pushing skin down over the eyelid, a non-surgical brow lift can significantly improve the appearance by elevating the brow. If the hooding is caused by excess eyelid skin itself, a surgical blepharoplasty may be recommended instead.

  • What is the difference between BOTOX, fillers, and threads for brow lifting?

    BOTOX relaxes the muscles pulling the brow down for a subtle lift. Fillers add volume along the brow bone for structural support and immediate results. PDO threads physically reposition the brow tissue for more dramatic elevation. Dr. Avaliani often combines techniques for optimal results.

  • How many units of BOTOX are needed for a brow lift?

    A typical BOTOX brow lift requires 4-10 units strategically placed in the depressor muscles around the brow. The exact number depends on your muscle strength, anatomy, and desired degree of lift. Dr. Avaliani customizes the dosage for each patient during consultation.

  • What is the downtime after a non-surgical brow lift?

    BOTOX has zero downtime. You can return to all activities immediately. Dermal filler may cause mild swelling or bruising for 1-2 days. PDO threads may involve slight tenderness and minor swelling for 3-5 days. Most patients resume normal activities the same day.

  • Who is not a good candidate for a non-surgical brow lift?

    Patients with significant skin laxity or severe brow ptosis may need a surgical brow lift for optimal results. Those who are pregnant, nursing, or have neuromuscular disorders should avoid BOTOX. Patients with active skin infections at the treatment site should wait until the infection resolves. Dr. Avaliani will evaluate your candidacy during consultation.
