Non Surgical Brow Lift
Volume loss has a number of effects on the face, one of which is a falling or drooping brow line. Some of the other common causes of a sagging brow include:
- Declining skin firmness due to natural ageing
- Sun damage to elastic fibres of the skin
- Thinning of the skin
- Depression of the skin at the temples region
One, or more of these causes may be present if you feel that sagging has occurred in this region, which means treatments need to be tailored to suit the individual.
By relaxing specific muscles around the eye area, it’s possible to reverse one of the most common effects of ageing. The position of your brow is partially determined by the balance between a group of muscles pulling the brow up and a group of muscles pulling the brow down.
What about restoring skin firmness? Depending on the severity of skin laxity, epiclinic® has devices that firm the skin, reducing the “sad” appearance that occurs near the eye area. Devices that perform this function range from ultrasound/radio frequency (Exilis Protégé Elite) and fractionated non-ablative (Fraxel re:store) lasers, to the Acupulse CO2 fractionated ablative laser.
In a high number of cases, depressions at the temples is the main culprit of a drooping brow.
WHAT TO EXPECT DURING A NON-SURGICAL BROW LIFT?
Before a treatment can be administered, a consultation is required. During this time, your eligibility as a patient and your medical history will be evaluated. An aesthetic nurse will provide you with a personalised recommendation that will help you treat the specific underlying cause of your problematic brow.
WHO WILL PERFORM MY NON-SURGICAL BROW LIFT?
Non-surgical treatments might be less complex but they still require specific qualifications and skills. Any treatment that you receive at epiclinic will always be administered by a qualified aesthetic nurse who understands the treatment and how the skin cells react. Our aim is always to ‘look better, not different’ for naturally refreshed outcomes.
ARE THERE ANY RISKS I SHOULD BE AWARE OF?
Any type of cosmetic procedure, whether it’s surgical or not, does carry some degree of risk. Bruising, swelling and mild discomfort are the most common side effects of a non-surgical brow lift. There are additional complications that could occur if laser treatments are used. We will take you through all of the complications and risks to be aware of during your consultation so that you know exactly what to expect.
WHAT IS THE COST FOR A CONSULTATION?
New patient consultations are complimentary, as we must determine your suitability before any treatment is recommended.
