Non Surgical Brow Lift

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is a Brow Thread Lift?

  A Brow Thread Lift is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure designed to lift and rejuvenate the eyebrows using dissolvable threads. These threads are strategically placed under the skin to create a subtle yet effective lift, addressing sagging or drooping eyebrows.

  A non-surgical brow lift is where threads are used to:

  1. Create an elongated, almond shaped eye. This look involves placing lifting threads that are fully biodegradable under the skin, the tail of the eyebrow and outer eye can be repositioned.
  2. Create brow lift – e.g., lift the brow to reduce hooded lids of heavy eyebrows which are often caused by aging. Treatment for this indication is suitable from age 30 onwards.
  3. To correct asymmetry, where a thread is placed in one brow to lift one brow to create symmetry and balance with the other.
• Are there any potential side effects or risks associated with Brow Thread Lift

  While Brow Thread Lift is considered safe, like any cosmetic procedure, there can be potential side effects. These may include temporary swelling, bruising, or discomfort at the thread insertion points. It’s crucial to choose a qualified and experienced practitioner to minimize risks.

• Is it painful?

  A topical or injected local anaesthetic is administered to the treatment area so you won’t feel the treatment – however, you will feel a small sting from the anaesthetic if it is injected.

• Will I need to take off work?

  It is advisable to have a day off, but you should be fine to return to work the day after treatment. You may have some swelling and bruising which will settle after 7 – 10 days and shouldn’t be too visible. You will also have small ‘folds’ in the hairline where the thread has been inserted – these will settle after a couple of weeks and are not really visible.

• What happens at my first appointment?

  Following your initial consultation, a local anaesthetic will be injected with tiny needles at key locations on the face. The threads will be inserted under the skin using fine needles and are then pulled into position. The needles and extra lengths of thread are trimmed so that nothing shows outside of the skin. You are awake throughout the procedure.

• Will skin laser treatments cause my threads to dissolve?

  It is highly unlikely that a laser treatment would affect the threads because laser treatments keep to the surface of the skin and don’t penetrate deep into the tissue where the PDO filaments have been threaded in.
