What would be best for sagging outer brows and hooded eyes: Nova thread or silhouette browlift?

I hate VollureJan 25, 2018
After a couple of bad experiences with botox browlift, i am looking at an alternative nonsurgical outer browlift, which can last at least a year.

Where can i find a provider in my area?
