Botox
Where is the Botox injection site for frown lines and how can I lift eyebrows?
Botox can be confusing in how it works. It's function is to relax the muscle so depending on whether the muscle's action is as a brow depressor or elevator, will determine whether botox will cause the brows to lift or fall. Botox in the glabella (depressor) will result in elevation of the medial brow when the depressor action is relaxed. Botox in the frontalis (elevator) will result in a lowering of the brows due to reduced ability to lift. Hope that makes sense.
Clinical Context
Before choosing frown-line injection sites, a surgeon first checks how your brow currently sits at rest and during movement, testing the strength of the muscles between and above your eyes and how they interact with the forehead muscle. This assessment determines whether treating the frown muscles alone will allow a natural lift, or whether nearby points need adjustment. Since eyebrow height depends on the balance between muscles pulling it down and those raising it, weakening the downward pullers can let the brow rise slightly.
