What is an Ultherapy Brow Lift?
Non-surgical alternatives to treatments are becoming increasingly popular as many choose to avoid the downtime associated with surgery.
One such area is the face, many choose to opt for minimally invasive treatments to help soften lines and wrinkles, but what are our choices when it comes to our brows.
Eyebrow Ageing
The eyebrows are one of the defining factors of the face and many of us take care to groom, dye and shape them to complement our facial features and overall appearance.
Our eyebrows are not exempt from ageing however, and they can start to sink making our eyes look tired and sagging. The skin around the eyebrows can start to lose structural support due to a reduction of proteins and tissues within the skin.
This is when many start to look for treatments to help lift and restore the brows for a more refreshed look.
What is an Ultherapy brow lift?
Ultherapy is a bespoke treatment that can be personally tailored to your needs.
Ultherapy stimulates and regenerates collagen and elastin in a specific area using micro-focused ultrasound technology. This unique technology is able to target the skin at the same depths targeted by surgeons, without the need for any incisions.
Once the new collagen and elastin are stimulated and established, the upper eyelids will be gently raised, giving the eyebrow a youthful, vibrant appearance again.
An Ultherapy brow lift procedure involves no downtime. It also generates exceptional outcomes that can last up to 18 months.
What is a blepharoplasty?
An upper blepharoplasty is a cosmetic surgery procedure that is used to reduce sagging eyelids by removing excess skin, muscle and fat from the area. Removing excess skin and tissues from this area can really help to open the eye area providing a more youthful and less tired looking appearance.
A blepharoplasty is not predominately focused on treating the eyebrow, but by reducing excess skin in this area, it can provide a slight lifting effect in certain cases.
What is a brow lift?
A brow lift is a surgical procedure that can effectively lift the eyebrows. It may also be referred to as a forehead lift as the treatment involves raising the tissue and skin of both the forehead and brow area. There are a variety of brow lift techniques which your surgeon will recommend for you based on your desired result, these include:
- Endoscopic Brow Lift
- Temporal Brow Lift
- Coronal Brow Lift
- Direct Brow Lift
- Hairline Brow Lift
The incision for a brow lift is usually made within the hairline, but certain techniques such as Direct brow lift involve an incision directly above the eyebrow, so this is best for those with larger brows.
A brow lift typically takes 1-2 hours to perform. Some downtime may be involved as swelling is common post-procedure. The results from the treatment are best seen after 6 weeks. As this is a surgical procedure, the results are permanent, but a brow lift is not able to stop the effects of ageing.
What procedure is best for a brow lift?
The best treatment choice for a brow lift depends entirely on your own personal preferences and goals from surgery.
An Ultherapy brow lift is a great non-surgical option, but further treatments will be required to maintain the results.
A blepharoplasty could be a great option for someone with a mild brow droop but if you are looking for a more obvious lift, then a surgical brow lift would be a better treatment choice.
A brow lift is one of the best options if you are happy with undergoing a surgical procedure. Whilst there is some downtime, the results are permanent.
