Brow Lift
from £350
Its all about the arch.
As our skin ages and loses elasticity, our eyebrows can begin to sag and descend. When our eyebrows fall, our eyes can appear closed, tired and older. A botox brow lift, also known as a chemical brow lift, is an easy and effective alternative to a traditional brow lift surgery that can help you achieve bright and engaging eyes.
Younger clients also benefit from this treatment for the purpose of feminisation. In general, with masculine faces, we are aiming for a low set and straight brow. With female faces, on the other hand, we are aiming for more arch of the brow and a higher brow in relation to the eye. This is where a chemical brow lift can help.
What does a brow lift treat?
A brow lift is particularly suited to patients who feel their brows sit lower than they would like, who notice heaviness across the upper eyelids caused by brow descent rather than excess skin, or who feel their natural resting expression looks tired or stern. It is also an effective option for those who want to refine the shape of the brow, lifting and curving the tail to create a more defined arch.
The treatment works best when brow descent is mild to moderate. Where significant skin laxity or volume loss is also present, Dr Karwal may recommend combining the brow lift with other treatments to achieve a more comprehensive result.

At Karwal Aesthetics we use Botox by Allergan Aesthetics, the original and most extensively researched botulinum toxin type A on the market. All products are prescription-grade, sourced from licensed suppliers and direct manufacturers, stored and handled in accordance with manufacturer requirements, and licensed for use in the UK.
For patients looking for a longer-lasting result, we also offer Relfydess by Galderma, a newer toxin that clinical data suggests provides a longer duration of effect than traditional botulinum toxin products.
Dr Karwal will discuss which product is most appropriate for you at your consultation, taking into account your treatment history, goals, and whether longevity is a priority.
We do not use cheaper, unlicensed, or imported alternatives. The quality and consistency of the toxin we use is fundamental to achieving predictable, safe results and is not an area where we make compromises. If you have had a reaction to a particular toxin product in the past, please inform Dr Karwal before your treatment so that this can be factored into your care.

The effect is quite subtle. You will only get a lift of approximately 1 - 2mm; however, this can greatly impact the overall appearance of your eyes. However, you will not achieve a big lift, such as in brow lift surgery.

The results of a botox brow lift typically last between three and four months.
The longevity of your result is influenced by a number of factors including your metabolism, how active you are, and how much facial movement you use day to day. Patients who are very physically active or who have a fast metabolism may find the results fade closer to three months, while those with lower activity levels may see results lasting closer to four months.

Many patients who come to us for forehead anti-wrinkle injections are surprised to find that poorly placed toxin can actually lower the brow rather than lift it. This is one of the most common complications of anti-wrinkle treatment and it happens when the frontalis muscle is treated too heavily or too low without accounting for its role in holding the brow up.
A botox brow lift is a different treatment with a different objective. Rather than simply reducing forehead movement, it is designed with the brow position as the primary goal. The injection sites, depths, and volumes are chosen specifically to shift the muscular balance in favour of elevation. It requires a practitioner to think in three dimensions about how each injection site will influence brow shape and position once the toxin takes effect.
Some patients benefit from having a brow lift treatment integrated with anti-wrinkle injections for the forehead and crow's feet at the same appointment. This is a common combination at Karwal Aesthetics and one that Dr Karwal is experienced in balancing. The two treatments must be coordinated carefully so that forehead relaxation does not undo the lift that the brow protocol is working to achieve.

No. Botulinum toxin does not produce immediate results. After your appointment, the toxin begins to bind to the nerve-muscle junction and the effects develop gradually over the following days. Most patients start to notice a change between three and five days after treatment. The full result is typically visible at around ten to fourteen days, which is why we schedule our follow-up reviews at the two-week mark.
