Feel like your eyes are looking tired or your brows are sagging more than you'd like? You're not alone. As we age, our forehead muscles start to relax. The result? Droopy brows, heavy eyelids, and lines that can make us look older or even stressed out.
Here’s the good news: You don’t need surgery to freshen up your look. A Botulinum toxin brow lift can offer a subtle yet effective way to lift your eyebrows, open up your eyes, and smooth out forehead lines — without any downtime.
At Lumine Dermatology, we help clients achieve a natural-looking result that enhances their features. Whether you're new to cosmetic procedures or exploring non-surgical treatments, our experienced team can guide you.
Let’s break down what a Botulinum toxin brow lift is and how it actually works.
Think of a Botulinum toxin brow lift as a quick fix for droopy brows. This non-surgical brow lift uses small injections of Botulinum Toxin (commonly known as Botox) to relax certain facial muscles. The goal? To let your eyebrow arch lift naturally and smooth out frown lines.
The treatment targets brow depressor muscles — the ones pulling your brows down. By relaxing them, the outer and inner corners of your brows get a gentle lift, making your eyes look more open and youthful.
It’s a safe, simple way to get a refreshed appearance without going under the knife.
Here’s the simple science behind it:
It’s not about freezing your face. It’s about strategic placement and can also be used to even out the height of asymmetrical brows in suitable individuals.
Our qualified practitioner at Lumine Dermatology knows exactly where to place the injection sites to enhance your facial anatomy and skin quality. And since it’s a quick procedure, you can get back to your daily activities right after.
If any of these sound familiar, you might be a great fit:
This non-invasive procedure is also a quick lunchtime procedure that is suitable for those with busy schedules.
First, we’ll meet with you. We want to understand your treatment goals and assess your skin quality and facial structure.
Then, we’ll discuss your medical history, go over potential risks, and determine if a Botulinum toxin brow lift procedure is the best fit for you. Transparency is key, and we’ll take the time to answer any concerns. Our practitioners focus on your facial anatomy to ensure the best and safest results.
By the end of this visit, you’ll understand what to expect, how Botulinum toxin will work for you, and what outcomes are realistic based on your unique features.
During the actual procedure:
This process is quick, efficient, and typically well-tolerated. Many people describe it as a mild pinch or light pressure, and the sensation passes quickly. Numbing cream or ice packs can also be applied prior to minimise discomfort. The amount of Botulinum toxin to lift eyebrows varies from person to person, depending on muscle strength, desired lift, and other treatment options discussed in your consultation.
The whole treatment will take around 15 to 30 minutes.
You can walk in during your lunch break and botulinum toxin injections should take effect in 3 days with full results at 2 to 3 weeks. There’s no downtime. Most clients find that the appointment fits seamlessly into their day. It’s ideal for those with busy schedules who want results without having to pause their lives.
Since there’s no invasive procedure involved, you often won’t need anaesthesia or a recovery room. It’s just in and out — simple and efficient.
Here’s what to expect:
Over time, your body naturally metabolises the Botulinum Toxin. To maintain the lift and smooth appearance, follow-up treatments are recommended every few months.
It’s a great option if you wantresults without the commitment or recovery of surgical procedures. Plus, many find that with consistent treatments, the results become even more refined and the interval between botulinum toxin injections may be lengthened.
After the procedure:
Following these simple aftercare instructions helps ensure the Botulinum Toxin stays where it needs to be and reduces the chance of side effects. Though the side effects are mild, aftercare especially the first few hours post-treatment help ensure a good outcome.
People may experience:
There is no need to stop your routine. The non-surgical brow lift has minimal to no downtime, making it perfect for those who want to return to daily activities right away. Any side effects you experience will typically resolve on their own within 24–48 hours.
For the first 24 hours:
Following these tips helps avoid moving the Botulinum Toxin unintentionally and allows it to work as intended. Think of it as letting the treatment settle in for maximum benefit.
You might have a tiny red dot, slight swelling, or mild bruising at the injection site, but these fade quickly. There is no scarring or no long-term marks. Most clients return to work or social events right after, with little evidence they’ve had anything done.
This is one of the reasons people love the eyebrow lift with neuromodulators e.g Botox — it gives you visible results without any tell-tale signs. It’s a clean, non-invasive treatment with minimal visual aftermath.

At LumineDerm, we use precise techniques and sterile equipment, ensuring a safe and effective experience with minimal potential side effects.
For many people, yes. If you're looking for a subtle lift and don't want an invasive procedure, Botulinum toxin is a great option. However, for significant skin laxity or excess skin, traditional brow lifts may still be more suitable. We can help guide you.
The level of pain varies between individuals but most patients do really well. It often feels like a small pinch with a stinging sensation and the injections are usually done within minutes. We can also apply a numbing cream if you're sensitive.
Yes, indirectly. By lifting the brows, it reduces heaviness on the upper eyelids, making your eyes appear more open. It’s like getting a mini forehead lift without surgery.
This varies between individuals and on the severity of the brow ptosis. Most people need between 20-24 units, depending on muscle strength and desired lift. We’ll tailor it to you during your consultation.
Absolutely. We treat both men and women seeking natural-looking results. The treatment is adjusted to suit different facial anatomy and aesthetic goals.
Your muscles will gradually regain movement, and your facial ageing will resume naturally. There are no long-term side effects from stopping. It’s your choice how often you want to maintain the look.
