The forehead and brow are often the first places to reveal the signs of aging. As the skin and soft tissues in these areas age, you may begin noticing you appear to look older and more fatigued than you actually feel. The effects of gravity along with consistent facial expressions over time add to this outcome, leading to the following undesirable effects:
- Wrinkles and deep creases across the forehead
- Brow line and upper eyelid drooping
- Grooves between the brows
- Diminished natural arch of the eyebrow
But these effects aren’t reserved for only those of advanced age. Even people as young as their 30s can experience them. As a result, many people of various age ranges have opted for some form of a forehead or browlift procedure.
At Atlanta Face & Body, we offer a host of proven surgical and nonsurgical forehead/browlift options designed to treat varying degrees of facial aging.
What forehead/browlift procedures are offered at Atlanta Face & Body?
Both surgical and nonsurgical procedures can lift the forehead and brow to restore a refreshed, more youthful look.
First, the nonsurgical options that deliver subtle brow and forehead improvement:
Botox® & Xeomin® injections – These neurotoxins relax the muscles responsible for forehead creases and brow furrows, temporarily smoothing lines and wrinkles for a younger-looking appearance. Results typically last 3-4 months.
Morpheus8 – A minimally invasive radiofrequency microneedling treatment and the first FDA-cleared technology for deep subdermal tissue remodeling. It penetrates the deeper layers of skin and fat to boost collagen and elastin for a smoother, more youthful appearance. Many patients see results that last over a year.
Ultherapy® – Ultherapy delivers focused ultrasound energy to the dermis and the foundation layer (SMAS) beneath it, jumpstarting new collagen production that visibly lifts and tightens tissue.
While Ultherapy won’t match the dramatic results of a surgical facelift, it is a clinically proven, noninvasive alternative with no incisions and works on all skin types. Optimal results appear over two to three months and can last a year or more, with touch-ups extending the effect.
