A brow lift can be achieved through several different methods, each with its own techniques,
benefits, and drawbacks. Here are the key differences between a brow lift with Filler, Neogen
brow lift, Botulinum Toxin A brow lift, and a Surgical brow lift:
1. Brow Lift with Filler
Technique: Dermal fillers, such as hyaluronic acid-based fillers (e.g. Teoxane), are
injected beneath the skin to add volume and lift the brow.
Benefits:
o Semi- invasive with no surgery.
o Quick procedure with immediate results.
o Little to no downtime.
Drawbacks:
o Temporary results, usually lasting 6-18 months.
o Potential for swelling, bruising, or asymmetry.
o Limited to subtle lifting and volume enhancement.
o Risk of vascular occlusion event.
2. Neogen Brow Lift
Technique: Uses plasma energy to generate heat, which stimulates collagen
production and tightens the skin. Neogen Plasma is a device that delivers controlled
heat to the dermis – around the eye and above the eyebrow and forehead.
Benefits:
o Non-invasive, no need for injections or surgery.
o Stimulates natural collagen production for long-term benefits.
o Minimal downtime compared to surgery.
Drawbacks:
o Results are gradual and take a few months to fully develop.
o Multiple sessions might be needed for optimal results.
o Down time can vary between 4-10 days.
3. Botox Brow Lift
Technique: Botulinum Toxin (Botox) is injected into specific muscles around the
eye/brow. By relaxing these muscles around the eye, the muscles that lift the brow
become more active, resulting in a subtle lift.
Benefits:
o Minimally invasive with no surgery.
o Quick procedure with results visible within 14 days.
o Minimal downtime.
Drawbacks:
o Temporary results, typically lasting 3-6 months.
o Requires repeat treatments to maintain the effect.
o Potential for asymmetry or the need for overcorrection
4. Surgical Brow Lift
Technique: Involves making incisions in the hairline or forehead to lift and reposition
the brow tissue. Different techniques include endoscopic brow lift, coronal brow lift,
and temporal brow lift.
Benefits:
o Long-lasting to permanent results.
o Significant lifting and repositioning of the brow.
o Can address more severe drooping and skin laxity.
Drawbacks:
o Invasive with a longer recovery period (typically 1-2 weeks).
o Risk of scarring, infection, or nerve damage.
o More expensive due to the surgical nature and anaesthesia.
Summary
Brow Lift with Filler: Quick, semi-invasive, temporary, suitable for subtle
enhancements, risk of occlusion event.
Neogen Brow Lift: Non-invasive, stimulates collagen, gradual results, requires
multiple sessions.
Botox Brow Lift: Quick, minimally invasive, temporary, ideal for subtle lifting.
Surgical Brow Lift: Invasive, long-lasting, suitable for significant lifting and
correction, involves more downtime and potential risks.
Choosing the right method depends on the individual's goals, the degree of brow drooping,
budget, and willingness to undergo invasive procedures. It's important to consult with a
qualified aesthetic professional to determine the most appropriate option.
