A doctor-performed treatment for patients seeking changes to brow position, shape or symmetry without surgery. Concerns such as low brows, a heavier outer brow, or differences between the two sides may influence the appearance of the eye area and overall facial expression.
M1 Med Beauty offers two non-surgical treatment approaches for brow enhancement at our Sydney CBD and Melbourne CBD clinics. The most appropriate option depends on the underlying anatomy, the factors contributing to the concern, and your individual aesthetic goals. All treatments are performed by AHPRA-registered doctors. Free consultations.
The position and shape of the eyebrows are influenced by a complex interaction between facial muscles, soft tissues and underlying structural support. Variations in muscle activity, facial anatomy and changes in tissue volume can all contribute to differences in brow position over time.
In some individuals, the outer portion of the brow may sit lower relative to the central brow, resulting in a change in brow shape or contour. As brow position contributes to overall facial balance and expression, even subtle differences may affect the appearance of the upper face.
Treatment options are available for individuals seeking to modify brow position or shape. Suitability for treatment depends on individual anatomy and aesthetic goals and is assessed during a medical consultation. Outcomes vary between individuals.
The most commonly used approach for brow lifting is a doctor-performed treatment that gently reduces the activity of the muscle responsible for pulling the outer brow downward. With this downward pull reduced, the brow rises to a higher natural resting position. The outer tail of the brow lifts, the eye appears more open and the upper face looks fresher and less heavy. This approach is straightforward in the right hands, but requires precise placement and careful dosing to avoid unintended effects on the brow shape.
When the brow has lost its position partly because the underlying structural support in the brow bone and temple area has diminished with age, a volumising treatment placed in precise points around the outer brow and temple can rebuild that support and provide lift from below. This approach works best when volume loss is a contributing factor, and is often used alongside the first approach for a more complete result. Your doctor will advise on longevity at consultation.
Where both muscle activity and structural volume loss are present, a doctor may recommend addressing both at the same appointment. The muscle-relaxing treatment addresses the downward pull; the volumising treatment addresses the loss of structural support. Your doctor will assess which approach or combination is most appropriate for your brow at consultation.
Most patients return to normal activities the same day. Mild redness or tenderness at the treatment points is possible for a day or two. The effect of the muscle-relaxing approach develops gradually over one to two weeks. Your doctor will provide specific aftercare instructions before you leave.
A non-surgical brow lift is a doctor-performed treatment approach aimed at improving the position and appearance of the eyebrows without surgery. At M1 Med Beauty, two treatment approaches may be considered depending on individual needs.
One approach is intended to address muscle activity that may contribute to the brow appearing lower at the outer edge. Another approach focuses on providing support in the brow and temple area where volume changes may be a factor.
Both approaches are non-surgical and do not involve incisions or general anaesthesia. The most suitable option depends on the underlying causes of brow position and your individual facial anatomy, which can be assessed during a consultation with a qualified doctor.
When performed appropriately, the aim is to support a more balanced brow position that aligns with the natural anatomy of the face, rather than creating an exaggerated arch or an over-lifted appearance. Treatment is tailored to individual facial structure, with consideration given to the amount and placement used in each case.
A natural-looking outcome depends on careful assessment of brow anatomy and a conservative, individualised approach to treatment planning. At M1 Med Beauty, treatments are performed by AHPRA-registered medical doctors.
When the upper eyelid looks heavy or hooded, it is sometimes because the brow is sitting low rather than because of the eyelid itself. Lifting the brow can create more visible upper eyelid space and make the eye appear more open. If the heaviness is caused by excess eyelid skin rather than brow position, a brow lift will not fully address it and a different approach would be needed. Your doctor will assess what is driving the appearance of the upper eyelid at consultation and advise honestly on what treatment can achieve.
Results are temporary. A non-surgical brow lift is designed to produce changes that may vary in duration depending on the treatment approach used and individual factors.
The muscle-relaxing approach works by reducing activity in specific facial muscles and may require repeat treatments as part of an ongoing plan. The volumising approach focuses on providing support in selected areas, with longevity differing between individuals.
A qualified doctor can discuss suitable treatment options and maintenance considerations during a consultation.
