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?
Answer: 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.

Answer: Thermage and Fraxel - not meant to lift the brow Thermage and Fraxel may smooth the skin and tighten it slightly but in all directions not just up. Therefore little if any lift will be acheived with these approaches. Only a Forehead or Brow surgical lift will make a significant difference. Botox in the crows feet area may raise the outer brow a little bit temporarily (2-3 months).

Answer: Noninvasive Browlifting The best noninvasive approaches to lifting the brow are with botox, and in some cases filler. Botox can create a conservative elevation of the lateral portion of the brow and in some cases is all that is needed. Less talked about but still effective is the use of fillers placed around the brow complex to help elevate the brow. Thermage and other radiofrequency devices have not been proven to be effective or consistent in brow elevation. LASER procedures are also not a good option for brow elevation. Surgery remains the gold standard for brow elevation, especially for patients who are not responders to botox.

Answer: 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.

Answer: 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.

Answer: Laser Browlift- Marketing ploy for nonsurgeons
While those who own a Thermage or Fractionated Laser may try to convince you otherwise, you will find the results won't live up to your expectations. Some minor brow lifting can be achieved with Botox, otherwise, surgery is probably what you will need. Speak to someone who does brow lifts (all types) and who has a laser and get their opinion. For someone with one hammer (i.e. a Thermage or laser) the whole world is a nail (they feel all problems of aging face can be corrected with their single tool). See someone with lots of hammers.
