Brow Lift Treatment Helps Reduce the Sagging of Eyebrows

Deep wrinkles are caused by several factors, most notably skin damage due to sun exposure and the constant contractions of the underlying muscles of facial expression. By understanding the causes, patients can now more easily understand the rationale for treatment recommendations. The first line of treatment for the forehead is with “injectables”; either fillers such as Restylane and Collagen, or muscle paralyzers like Botox. The “fillers” act by puffing out the skin at the site of the wrinkle, while Botox paralyzes the underlying muscles preventing them from squeezing or furrowing the skin. Both groups offer only temporary solutions as they wear off within a few months. A permanent solution requires a plastic surgical procedure called a Forehead Lift or Brow Lift. This procedure usually incorporates a combination of removal of the muscles causing the wrinkles and smoothing or stretching of the affected skin. Additionally, the wrinkles may require Laser Skin Resurfacing, which is an excellent way of erasing lines as it causes the body to bring in fresh collagen.
