Selective botulinum toxin injections targeting brow depressors can achieve a modest brow lift. This non-surgical approach offers subtle facial rejuvenation for many patients.

Area of Science:

  • Aesthetic medicine
  • Dermatology
  • Ophthalmology

Background:

  • Brow elevation is a key factor in facial rejuvenation.
  • Non-surgical methods for brow lifting are in demand.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the efficacy of botulinum toxin in elevating the brow.
  • To determine the degree of brow elevation via targeted treatment of brow depressor muscles.

Main Methods:

  • Seven female participants (ages 31-42) received botulinum toxin injections.
  • Injections targeted the glabellar area and supralateral brow.
  • Brow position was measured pre- and post-treatment.

Main Results:

  • 71% of participants experienced brow elevation (1-3 mm).
