Chemical Brow Lift Via Botox; Dysport Vs Botox?

Hello, I recently had the "chemical brow lift" and loved it. I'm not sure how many units were used, but I would guess around 40 ish based on price. However, some doctors offer botox "per area" , would this be considered 2 areas? I recently had the "chemical brow lift" and loved it. What areas should I make sure they inject, also want to avoid "droop". In a chem brow lift, is the glabella involved? I usually do 20 units Glab, and 10 Frontalis, I know the Chem brow lift is ttly different.

Botox can provide a chemical brow lift

Chemical brow lilfts do not elevate as much as surgery. Botulinum toxin, whether Botox cosmetic brand, Dysport or Xeomin, all can relax the depressor muscles of the glabella region between the eyebrows and the outer eyebrow area. The unopposed elevating muscles of the forehead (frontalis) can then pull up on the lower forehead. The number of units vary from patient to patient. Keep in mind that if the upper forehead is treated, and especially if the mid forehead is treated for horizontal... more

Botox, Dysport, & Xeomin Work Well For Chemical Browlifts

Chemical browlifts are quick and easy to perform and generally result in quite gratifying results. Any of the three available neuromodulators, Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin, may be used for this purpose, although I prefer Dysport, which I feel lasts a bit longer than the results with either of the other two. Treating physicians may charge by the unit or by the area. In general, chemical browlifts consist of treating the outer portion of the eyebrow area, to lift and restore the... more

Botox brow lift

Both Botox and Dysport can be used for the brow lift. It is considered one treatment area. The number of units injected in various areas depends on the individual. If you have treatment with an experienced dermatologist or plastic surgeon, it would be unusual to have a droop.

Botox and Dysport are very similar

Either product can be used for a chemical brow lift. Tell your specialist what specifically you are looking for and he or she will estimate the amount needed. (the units are not interchangeable between botox and dysport - but the results should be about the same). You might expect to see 3 or more months of enhancement from one treatment.

Chemical brow lift

A chemical brow lift can be achieved by injecting either Botox or Dysport. You can create a "flared," "arched," or "horizontal" lift, (dependent upon placement) by a skilled and well-trained injector. That is the key to ensuring you get the look you're expecting. It's hard to know how many units it will take to achieve this, until you are assessed. Placing a neurotoxin in the forehead or frontalis in excessive amounts, or too close to your brow specifically, can result in... more

Botox and Dysport both can provide a good browlift

Botox and Dysport are nearly interchangeable and both can provide a good browlift. Brow elevation is best when the glabella and crow's feet are treated. However, brow elevation does occur when either of these areas are treated alone. Treatment of the horizontal forehead lines, on the other hand, has a tendency to lower the brow or to negate the browlift provided by glabella or crow's feet injections. We tailor our treatment for each patient, however, routinely we... more

Botox for chemical brow lift

You can get a similar result by using Botox or Dysport as far as a chemical brow lift. Typically 20-36 units are used in the glabella (depending on the strength of the muscle - even higher dose in men). Frontalis is often 10-18 units, while a lateral brow lift involves 3-4 units at the outer edge of each brow. Ensure that you go to a Botox expert such as a dermatologist and you will have excellent results and would likely never have a brow or eyelid droop. Dr. Benjamin Barankin, Toronto... more
