Botox For Eyebrow Lift

A lot of people say that age is just a number and that it’s how you feel inside that counts. I do believe in that to a certain degree, but it doesn’t stop the physical signs of aging creeping up. No matter how young you feel inside, sagging, less elastic skin and wrinkles will hint to your real age.

When I meet someone, I’m immediately drawn to the eyes. It’s not just out of politeness, but because the eyes can give a much better read on a person’s current state. Blood-shot eyes may hint at fatigue, or one too many glasses of wine. Bags under the eyes show one too many late nights and dehydration. And a furrowed brow shows possible anger or frustration.

As well as these indicators there are others that are told – tales of age, like crow’s feet, sagging eyelids and drooping eyebrows. It’s the last one, dropping eyebrows, which I really don’t like on myself. For anyone afflicted by them, it gives a constant look of worry, mild anger and annoyance – not characteristics that you want to be displaying if you’re not feeling them.

I also have a habit of raising my eyebrows a lot. When I do relax my brows again, I get a really heavy feeling over my eyes. I looked into lots of options to fix the issue. With so many treatment options available, I really had to define what I needed from the whole experience and what my priorities were.

The items I came up with, in order of importance, were: effectiveness of procedure, minimum recovery time, pain level, and cost and procedure time. I think for everyone weighing up such a decision, the effectiveness would always be the priority. As a business owner the next most important item was downtime. I can’t afford more than a few days off in a row. When I looked at the more invasive procedures, the recoveries were anywhere up to a month, not realistic for me to undertake.

My research kept pointing to Botox. I saw plenty of the results online of people treating their dropping brows with Botox, and the results looked amazing. The only small disadvantage was that Botox isn’t a permanent treatment and needs a few visits a year to maintain the effects. However, once I weighed that against the zero downtime and relative cheapness, compared to a more permanent solution, I was convinced.
