Non-Surgical Brow Lift
The cosmetic world has explored new techniques in past decades now there are many options than ever when it comes to creating the appearance of an eyebrow or eyelid lift, while there are still surgical options available at Delight Clinic.
Dermal fillers: Drooping eyebrows, creases in the forehead, and lines around the eyes contribute to the signs of aging. Injectable dermal fillers are a very effective non-surgical means of facial rejuvenation. Indeed, dermal fillers are often known as a liquid facelift, or liquid browlift. Dermal fillers may also be injected into the forehead skin, carefully massaged and evenly placed, to lift the forehead. The effects of dermal fillers last from 3 to 5 months.
Neurotoxin: Neurotoxin Injections are a simple and effective way to have a non-surgical brow lift. Neurotoxin is another nonsurgical injectable treatment to smooth wrinkles in the forehead and round the eyes. It will remove forehead lines, raise sagging eyebrows and reduce the appearance of upper eyelid hooding. It corrects wrinkles which are formed by years of muscle contractions, such as laugh lines and crow’s feet. Over time, this often-repeated contracting creates permanent lines. Botox remains effective from 6-8 months. As muscles recover over time, new wrinkles and lines may appear.
Thread Lift Procedure: Over time, factors such as our lifestyle, environment, and even genetic makeup contribute to the development of various signs of aging on the brow and forehead. Thread lift procedure is a minimally invasive alternative to browlift surgery. At Delight Clinics the entire browlift procedure by thread, takes 30 to 40 minutes. There is minimal bruising and swelling. Recovery depends on the extent of the treatment. Patients cannot exercise for 48 hours post-procedure, but other than that, they can return to normal activities and skin care regimens.
Microblading : Microblading is a semi-permanent tattoo technique used to create the illusion of fuller brows. With this method I can create almost any look:
- from a very natural light finish to a beautifully bold brow.
