How many units of Botox is typically needed to give a slight lift to the brows of a female? Thank you.
Answer: Expect to use about 20-25 units Botox to raise lateral eyebrows Botox only works about half of the time to raise lateral eyebrows. It looks great when it does work but don't be disappointed if it doesn't do it every time.

Answer: Brow shaping with Botox Thank you for your question. Shaping the brows is one my favorite parts of using Botox. It requires a very detailed understanding of the underlying anatomy as well as assessing each individual while they are animating their brows. By carefully placing Botox in the muscles that depress the brow, you can cause the brow to rest and relax in a lifted position. There are limits to how much you can lift, and for some surgery is better option. Incorrect assessment or placement can also lead to the reverse effect, so overall technique is critical. You can also shape the brow different. For example, you can raise the tail of the brow vs creating a raised arched brow vs creating a raised horizontal brow. It depends on the individual's desired brow aesthetic goals. I would consider this a very advanced technique so I would query your injector on their experience in this area.

Answer: Botox to Lift Lateral Brow Generally I use 2 1/2 -4 units each side to lift the tail of the brow. It is injected more superficially than other areas and should be done by an expert injector. Botox is a muscle paralyzing substance that is injected into or near facial muscles by a doctor or nurse injector to weaken or prevent it from working for a period of months.It may seem counter-intuitive that paralyzing facial muscles can lift your brow, but this is exactly how Botox works. Our faces have muscles that pull in opposing directions, so in the case of the brow the idea is to paralyze the muscles that pull downward while leaving the ones that lift the brow untouched.

Answer: Brow lift Botox 29 units to 39 units is a reasonable range. This would be enough to treat the area between the eyebrows which normally pulls down on the middle forehead, and the tail of the eyebrow. These areas pull down in opposite vectors from the forehead muscle that wants to pull up. When their motion is inhibited by the Botox, the antagonistic forehead muscle can pull up simulating a lift (although surgery would provide a better result).

Answer: A 25u treatment with BOTOX Cosmetic is usually sufficient to elevate your brows. If you get your frown muscles injected along with the depressor muscles of the tail of your eyebrows (corrugator muscle and orbicularis muscles), you should see elevation of your eyebrows. This could be achieved with between 25 and 37.5u of BOTOX Cosmetic.
