Forehead Lift: Q&A
Ask a QuestionForehead and Brow Lift with Thermage or Fraxel
I would also like to know if Thermage lifts the forehead? Can it lift the brow area? I also would like to know if Fraxel laser would tighten the skin on the forehead or do any lifting for the eyebrow area?

What does and does not lift the forehead?
Surgery will lift the forehead. Botox will lift it a little. As far as I am concerned Thermage and the various Laser treatments have little or no effect. Save your money and have surgery. Happy Valentine's

Thermage doesn't work and the Fraxel won't raise the brow.
I'm not convinced Thermage does anything but it surely won't substitue for a browlift. Fraxel is for very modest tightening and I think it too is way overrated. A proper browlift requires releasing the attachment of the brow to the orbital rim and this can only be accomplished with an operation. Don't buy snakeoil on this one.

Forehead and Brow Lift with Thermage or Fraxel
Surgery and Botox are better alternatives to provide a forehead lift. Thermage, fraxel, and other laser modalities will have little or no impact in lifting.

Non-invasive forehead lift
The treatments you mention (Thermage and Fraxel) are not very effective in lifting the forehead. Botox is much more effective and much less expensive.

Fraxel Re:pair does tighten the thin skinned ares of the eyelids
I have used the Fraxel Re:pair since 2006, and I have noticed that the thin skin of the eyelids responds very nicely to the Fraxel Re:pair (CO2) laser skin resurfacing. There may be some slight elevation of the brow from laser resurfacing of the forehead, but this does not compare to surgical browlifting procedures.

Browlifts with surgery, fraxel or thermage.
I have experience with fractionated erbium, fractionated CO2 lasers, thermage, and current endoscopic surgical brow or forehead lifts. I am in agreement with the consensus of physicians. Surgery is unfortunately the only reliable, safe, and effective measure to lift the brow. Fortunately this can be done in about an hour with all scars hidden within the hair.
Speak to a qualified surgeon who has experience with all these approaches to decide what might be the best for...

Nonsurgical Forehead Lifts are Unpredictable at Best
While many procedures promise nonsurgical forehead lifting, the results are generally minimal, and unpredictable, at best. The single best way to achieve a nonsurgical browlift is with artfully performed Botox; beyond that, I would recommend only surgery.

Will Thermage Lift the Brow? No
If brow elevation and rejuvenation is your primary concern, save your money and have surgery. Thermage results have been, at best, unpredictable. I would never recommend this to a patient wishing to have brow rejuvenation. Fraxel will tighten the skin but will not elevate the brows.

Forehead lift
Generally speaking, the forehead cannot be lifted without surgery. No device or laser can do this. The muscles which depress the brow must be weakend surgically to to lift the brow.

Thermage and Fraxel not good choices for a brow lift
These noninvasive devises may offer a slight brow/forehead elevation, but don't expect the results to last (same if true for the newer radiofrequency devises). However, your skin may look better and the fine lines may be softened.
