One of the key advantages of a non-surgical brow lift is that patients have little to no time needed for recovery. While a traditional brow lift can require two weeks of complete downtime in addition to a gradual recovery, this treatment is far milder. Whether choosing injectables or smooth threads, patients usually will only have about 1-2 days of mild side effects, such as swelling and redness. In many cases, patients can have a treatment over the weekend and be back to work at the start of the following week.
The time it takes to see the results of your non-surgical brow lift can vary, depending on the severity of wrinkles. For toxin treatments, some immediate results can be seen, but the greatest benefit is seen in the weeks and months following treatment. As the muscles remain relaxed, the places where they would normally contribute to wrinkles can recover and smooth out. While the results can last for months at a time, patients can see the best outcomes by having routine touchup treatments between 1-3 times per year.
For a smooth threads brow lift, patients can expect to see some immediate improvement with additional improvements for several months after treatment. Following that, the results should be evident for up to two years.
