If you’ve been searching for the best non-surgical brow lift, you’ve likely come across a few popular options — chemical brow lifts, thread lifts, and Botox-based brow shaping.
So how do they compare? And which one gives the most natural lift with the least downtime?
Let’s break it down.
How it works:
A chemical brow lift uses targeted injections of Botulinum toxin (e.g., Botox, Azzalure) to relax the muscles that pull the brow downward. As a result, the lifting muscles are unopposed — creating a soft, elevated arch.
Best for:
First-time patients
Tired-looking eyes
Mild brow descent
Quick refresh before events
Results:
Visible in 3–5 days, lasting 3–4 months. No downtime. Very natural.
How it works:
A thread lift involves placing dissolvable threads under the skin to manually lift and reposition the brow tissue. This gives an immediate, physical lift and stimulates collagen.
Best for:
Moderate to heavy sagging
Longer-lasting result seekers
Those comfortable with mild recovery (bruising/swelling)
Results:
Instant lift. Results last 9–12 months. Mild downtime (1–3 days).
How it works:
While often confused with chemical brow lifts, Botox shaping is broader and may involve treating forehead or glabellar lines to balance tension across the upper face — subtly lifting or softening expression.
Best for:
People focused on lines + lifting
Those already familiar with Botox
Enhancing existing facial symmetry
Results:
Smoother forehead, light lift, fresher expression. Lasts 3–4 months.
It depends on your goals, facial anatomy, and downtime tolerance.
To make the right choice, it’s essential to have a personalised consultation that takes into account your brow shape, skin quality, muscle dynamics, and expectations.
