If your eyebrows look lower than they used to, surgery is not the only option. For some patients, Dysport can provide a temporary lift with little downtime.
Strategic injections relax muscles that pull the brows downward. This can help create a slightly higher brow and a more open, refreshed appearance.
Dysport will not create the dramatic results of surgery. Instead, it is designed for patients looking for a subtle change.
What Is a Brow Lift With Dysport?
Dysport is an injectable treatment made with botulinum toxin type A. It temporarily relaxes facial muscles. Some muscles raise your eyebrows, while others pull them down. By carefully relaxing certain downward-pulling muscles, Dysport can create subtle, temporary eyebrow elevation.
Dysport is FDA-approved to temporarily improve the appearance of frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines), sometimes called “elevens.” Using Dysport specifically to create a subtle eyebrow lift or reshape the brows is considered an off-label cosmetic use.
How Does Dysport Lift the Eyebrows?
The frontalis muscle helps raise your eyebrows. Other muscles around and between the eyes pull the brows inward or downward. Dysport can reduce the activity of selected downward-pulling muscles while allowing the brow-elevating muscles to continue working. This change in muscle balance can create a subtle lift.
Placement is important. Relaxing too much of the forehead can lower the brows instead of lifting them. This is why treatment should be customized to your facial anatomy.
Your Consultation: What To Expect
At VLine Beauty Clinic, treatment begins with a personal facial assessment. Your provider evaluates your brow shape, facial proportions, and muscle movement. We also discuss your goals so we understand exactly what you want to change.
Some patients want more lift at the outer brow. Others want their eyes to appear more open or want to smooth frown lines. This information helps our skilled professionals create an injection plan designed specifically for you.
What Happens During Brow Lift Treatment?
Your provider will prep the treatment area and make several small injections into carefully selected muscles. You may receive Dysport between the eyebrows if frown lines or the muscles in this area contribute to your brow position. Other areas may also be treated depending on your anatomy and goals.
Treatment is generally completed within 15 to 30 minutes. You may feel a small pinch during each injection.
The Benefits of Dysport for Eyebrow Elevation
For the right patient, a Dysport brow lift can offer several benefits:
- Subtle eyebrow elevation
- A more open, youthful appearance around the eyes
- Softer frown lines
- No surgery or incisions
- Little downtime
- Natural-looking results
Dysport is also customizable. Your provider can adjust the placement and amount used based on your brow shape, facial movement, and desired results.
When Will I See Results?
You may begin to see Dysport results within a few days; some people notice improvement in as little as 24 hours. Results typically continue to develop over the next 1 to 2 weeks. The effects are temporary and may last up to 4 months, although results and duration vary from person to person.
Will I Need Maintenance Treatments?
Dysport results are temporary, and as Dysport wears off, normal muscle activity gradually returns. Patients who want to maintain their results can schedule future maintenance treatments. How often you need injections depends on how your body responds and how long your results last.
What Are the Side Effects and Downtime?
A brow lift treatment with Dysport typically involves little to no downtime. Temporary redness, swelling, tenderness, small bumps, or bruising may occur at the injection sites. Many people return to their usual daily activities shortly after treatment, although bruising can last longer for some patients.
With Dysport, eyebrow droop or eyelid drooping is also possible if nearby muscles are affected. Careful injection placement, appropriate dosing, and a treatment plan tailored to your anatomy can help reduce these risks.
How Many Units of Dysport for an Eyebrow Lift?
There is no single answer to how many units of Dysport are needed for an eyebrow lift. The appropriate amount depends on your facial anatomy, muscle strength, brow position, and desired results.
How Effective Is Dysport for Lifting the Eyebrows?
Dysport can provide a subtle, temporary eyebrow lift for the right patient. It may be worth considering if you want your brows to appear slightly higher or your eye area to look more open without surgery.
Results depend on your facial anatomy and the cause of your concerns. Dysport cannot remove significant loose skin or provide the same amount of lifting as surgery. A consultation is the best way to determine whether this treatment can provide the results you want.
