Sagging Brow

As one ages, loss of collagen, the effects of gravity and the predominance of the brow depressors can cause the brow to droop, lowering the brow and causing an aged look.
In addition, the eyebrows tend to lose their arch, becoming more horizontal. A chemical brow lift with Botulinum Toxin can recreate a more arched, youthful brow, producing similar results to a traditional brow lift but without the surgery.

How Botox works to elevate a sagging brow: When we are younger, the brow elevators are more prominent and the face appears constantly elevated. As we age, the dynamics change and the depressors take over and combined with gravity, a gradual sagging of our brow takes place. If we can keep the dynamics between elevators and depressors neutral with strategically placed Botox injections every 4 to 6 months, then the sagging that occurs with ageing will be reduced. Multiple clinical studies have shown that after correctly placed Botox injections, a modest elevation occurs in the range of 1 to 3 mms which in the face can be a make a real observable difference. Once the Botox "kicks" in 10 days later, the face takes on a relaxed and refreshed look and one's face appears to glow. This result is very dependent on the experience of the injector and Botox incorrectly placed can actually cause the brow to droop.

At Clínica Privé, there are numerous non surgical options to treat a sagging brow which include the:

• Liquid Facelift,
• Laser facelift with skin tightening devices such as EndyMED 3DEEP and VContour II
• Combination treatments such as 3D Skin Rejuvenation
• Carboxytherapy

For patients that are apprehensive about the effects of Botox there are new technologies such as Carboxytherapy which are available for lifting a sagging brow. Carboxytherapy improves the quantity of collagen in the treated area and remodeling of collagen down the line causes a brow lift. In addition skin tightening devices, such as EndyMED 3DEEP, heat the deep dermal collagen fibrils causing them to shrink, lifting the brow 1 to 3 cm over a period of time.
