Choosing the right cosmetic procedure for you can often be overwhelming. With so many different options on the market, it’s hard to know where to begin in your selection process. One of the biggest complaints our patients come in with is their frown lines and deep lines across their forehead. We want to go over two of the most popular treatments for these signs of aging and how they differ so you can choose which procedure is best for you.
What is a Brow Lift?
A brow lift is a surgical cosmetic procedure that lifts and tightens the skin on the forehead and brows to reduce the appearance of deep lines across the forehead and between the eyebrows. The procedure involves making discrete incisions across the hairline through which Dr. Vu strengthens weak muscles in the face, pulls the skin tight and trims away any excess skin and tissue. This procedure provides long-term results that leave you looking younger, happier and more refreshed than ever before.
What are the Benefits of a Brow Lift?
There are many benefits to undergoing a brow lift, including:
- Reduces the appearance of deep lines across the forehead
- Improves the appearance of frown lines between the brows
- Long-lasting, natural-looking results
- One-week recovery period
What Can Botox® do for my Brow?
Botox® is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure in which Botox® gel is strategically injected into the treated area to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Botox® works because of an active ingredient, botulinum toxin. When injected into the treated area, Botox® temporarily freezes the muscle, preventing it from moving and causing the deep wrinkles in your forehead and brow. Botox® injections only take about 45 minutes to complete, don’t require any downtime, and results last for about four months at a time.
What are the Benefits of Botox®?
There are many benefits to getting Botox® for your frown lines and forehead wrinkles, including:
- Minimally invasive procedure
- No downtime or recovery period
- Improves the appearance of frown lines
- Reduces the appearance of wrinkles across the forehead
- Results last about four months
Is a Brow Lift or Botox® Right for Me?
The answer to this question really depends on the type of treatment you’re looking for. If you want a one-and-done procedure to improve the appearance of your wrinkled brow and don’t mind taking a week or two off of work to recover, a brow lift may be right for you. However, if you’re looking for a quick, less invasive treatment that doesn’t require downtime and don’t mind coming back for regular follow-up appointments, Botox® is probably best for you.
