Have you noticed your eyes looking more tired or serious in photos lately, even when you feel perfectly fine? Sometimes the brows are doing more work than we realize. At Secret Faces Oakville, we help uncover what’s happening and offer subtle solutions to help your eyes look more open, rested, and refreshed.
As we age, the muscles that lift the brows can weaken, leading to brow droop. The brow does a lot of work to convey our expressions. When the muscles in the brow start to become overworked, we look overworked.
A non-surgical brow lift can restore balance to the upper face without preventing you from making natural expressions. For tired eyes, a brow lift can be just the solution.
What Is a Non-Surgical Brow Lift?
A non-surgical brow lift uses precise amounts of neuromodulators (like Botox® or Dysport®) to relax the muscles that have tightened and are causing the brow to droop. When these muscles soften, say, through a Dysport® brow lift, the brow naturally “lifts” back into its original position.
This approach:
● Enhances the natural arch of the brow
● Opens the eye area
● Softens forehead and frown lines
● Enhances natural movement and expression
By rebalancing muscle activity in the brow with a Botox® brow lift, you’re going to look more relaxed and be able to convey your natural expressions. This is a no-drama treatment—we’re looking for soft and natural, not shocked or surprised.
Who Is a Good Candidate for a Brow Lift?
A brow lift may be a great option if you:
● Notice heaviness or drooping in the brow area
● Feel your eyes look tired or closed off
● Notice brow asymmetry
● Want a refreshed look without surgery or downtime
If you’ve developed a case of a resting-bored face or tired eyes, a brow lift could be the refreshment they need. Drop in for a consultation and find out more.
What Results Can You Expect?
Most clients notice:
● A brighter, more open eye area
● A more relaxed expression
● Improved brow symmetry
● Subtle lift without stiffness
Results are typically noticeable within a few days. You’ll be ready for your brow lift before-and-after pics about 2 weeks post-treatment, when full results are usually visible. A neuromodulator brow lift generally lasts from 3-4 months, depending on your metabolism and facial movement patterns.
Will a Brow Lift Make Me Look “Frozen”?
No. Well… It shouldn’t. This is one of the most common concerns, and it’s totally valid.
When done properly, by a qualified professional, neuromodulator treatments shouldn’t look obvious. At Secret Faces, treatments are conservative and customized to your facial anatomy. We always tell our clients: You can add more later.
A brow lift at Oakville’s Secret Faces is going to be a soft lift.
Non-Surgical Brow Lifts vs. Surgical Brow Lifts
Non-surgical brow lifts:
● Require no downtime
● Are fully reversible
● Produce subtle, natural-looking results
● Can be adjusted over time
Our clients achieve beautiful results with non-surgical brow lifts. Usually, when surgical brow lifts are recommended, it’s for people with significant skin laxity.
Brow Lift FAQs
What is a non-surgical brow lift?
A non-surgical brow lift can also be called a neuromodulator brow lift because of the small, precise amounts of neuromodulators used to relax the muscles that are pulling the brow downwards.
A Botox® brow lift results in a more open, refreshed appearance without surgery, as would a Dysport® brow lift.
How long does a brow lift last?
Results generally last 3-4 months, depending on your metabolism, muscle strength, and facial movements. If you love the look, we recommend maintenance treatments to help preserve it.
When will I see results from a brow lift?
You may start to notice changes within 3-5 days, with full results visible around 10-14 days post-treatment.
Will my eyebrows look uneven or overdone?
When performed correctly, a brow lift should look balanced. At Secret Faces, each treatment is customized to avoid over-lifting or asymmetry, delivering natural-looking brow-lift results.
Does a brow lift hurt?
A bit. Most clients describe the sensation as a quick pinch. The whole appointment, start to finish, is usually just a few minutes long.
Is there downtime after a brow lift?
No. You can return to normal activities right away, although you may be advised to avoid strenuous exercise or lying flat for a few hours—your provider will give you aftercare instructions.
Can a brow lift be combined with other treatments?
Yes. Brow lifts are often combined with forehead or frown line treatments to create a more balanced, cohesive overall result.
Is a brow lift safe?
Yes, when administered by a trained medical professional. Neuromodulators have a long, safe history and are widely used in medical aesthetics and for other medical purposes. Health Canada continues to ensure this product is safe to use.
Will I still be able to move my eyebrows?
Yes. We aren’t freezing movement, we’re rebalancing muscle activity. You’ll still have your natural expressions, just without the droop.
How do I know if a brow lift is right for me?
Come in for a consultation! Your provider will do an assessment, ask you about your goals, and recommend an appropriate treatment plan.
