Botox in procerus? If I get Botox in my procerus only, can I expect a subtle lifting effect?

Injection of Botox in the medial brow and upper nose region (where procerus muscle is located) can help with wrinkles of the region and a modest lifting effect if the frontalis muscle is left unopposed. The key point is to distinguish the aesthetic implications of medial brow lift (in this case) versus lateral brow lift.

The procures muscle is the muscle between the eyebrow responsible for horizontal lines over the nose. If this muscle pulls the brow down significantly than relaxing it with botox could have a subtle lifting effect. This lifting would only impact the medial brow and not the lateral or outer part to the brow.

For a brow lift botox is injected into the the Procerus, Corrigator supercilii, and the lateral portion of the Obicularis oculi muscles.  This will result in a subtle brow lift.  If injected properly the brow should lift and open up the eye in a natural way. Regards Anil Shah 

We generally recommend 20-30 units of botox to the 'glabellar' muscle and another 10 units for crow's feet on each side - this combination tends to raise brow position when the frontalis muscle is left untreated. Treatments should last 3-4 months at this dosing.

Injecting Botox in the procerus will give a subtle lift. You can also achieve a lift with non-invasive procedures like lasers or RF, sculptra/PRP, microneedling and quality skin care. See a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer
