Drooping brow

A drooping brow is when the eyebrows sit lower than usual, giving a tired or heavy look to the eyes. It often relates to ageing, reduced skin elasticity, and muscle imbalance between the brow depressors (pulling down) and the frontalis (lifting up).

What causes a drooping brow?

  • Muscle activity: Overactive brow depressors (corrugator, procerus, lateral orbicularis oculi) overpower the lifting action of the frontalis.

  • Skin laxity & volume change: With age, skin and soft-tissue support decline.

  • Genetic brow position & shape: Some people naturally sit a little lower.

  • Lifestyle & sun exposure: Can accelerate skin thinning and laxity.

Best suited for

  • Mild to moderate brow heaviness or hooding

  • Lower outer brow tail or a flatter arch

  • Patients seeking a subtle, natural lift without surgery

  • Not suitable if pregnant/breastfeeding, with certain neuromuscular conditions, or active skin infection.

Your treatment journey

  1. Medical consultation: Full assessment of brow position, muscle balance and skin quality.

  2. Personalised plan: Clear recommendations with expected outcomes and maintenance.

  3. Treatment: Gentle, targeted dosing for a natural, refreshed look.

  4. Review: Routine check at ~2 weeks for fine-tuning if needed.

Aftercare (quick guide)

  • Stay upright for 4 hours; avoid rubbing or massaging the area.

  • Skip strenuous exercise, saunas and hot baths for 24 hours.

  • Avoid alcohol and heavy makeup on the day of treatment.

  • Minor redness or pin-pricks usually settle within hours.


Results & expectations

  • Aim is a subtle lift and a more open, refreshed eye area while maintaining natural expression.

  • Most patients maintain results every 3–4 months; some can space treatments over time.

  • Combining skin-quality treatments can enhance and prolong the aesthetic outcome.

Treatment at our clinic

How it works: Precise micro-doses relax selected brow depressor muscles so the frontalis can lift the brows more freely. This opens the eye area and can enhance the arch—without an “overdone” look.

At a glance:

  • Procedure time: 10–15 minutes

  • Onset: 3–7 days; peak: ~2 weeks

  • Longevity: ~3–4 months (varies by individual)

  • Downtime: Minimal; day-to-day activities are fine

Optional enhancers (case by case)

  • Skin boosters / Profhilo / PRF / Polynucleotides: Improve skin quality and elasticity around the brow/forehead to complement lift.

  • Dermal filler (temple/support): In selected patients, subtle support in adjacent areas can improve overall frame and balance.

Note: Significant excess eyelid skin (dermatochalasis) or true eyelid ptosis may need surgical assessment. We’ll advise honestly at consultation.

Safety & possible side effects

Common: temporary redness, swelling, mild tenderness or headache.
Possible: temporary brow/eyelid heaviness or asymmetry if product diffuses; usually self-limiting.

Not suitable if pregnant/breastfeeding, with certain neuromuscular conditions, or active skin infection.
