Non‑Surgical Eyebrow Lift in Edmonton

Over time, the brow area can droop and develop wrinkles due to loss of skin elasticity and changes in facial musculature. A non‑surgical eyebrow lift offers a subtle yet effective way to restore a refreshed appearance without incisions or lengthy recovery. At Albany Cosmetic & Laser Centre, we utilise neuromodulator injections, dermal fillers, PDO threads, and energy‑based skin tightening to elevate the brows and open the eyes. These minimally invasive techniques are tailored to your facial anatomy, producing natural results with little downtime.

What Is a Non‑Surgical Eyebrow Lift?

A non‑surgical eyebrow lift encompasses several minimally invasive procedures designed to raise the brow and smooth forehead wrinkles without traditional surgery. Rather than excising or repositioning tissue, these treatments relax overactive muscles, replace lost volume, physically lift the skin or stimulate collagen. The goal is to achieve a more youthful eyebrow position while preserving natural expression. Because there are no incisions, recovery is quick and scarring is avoided.

How Do Non‑Surgical Eyebrow Lift Treatments Work?

Neuromodulator Injections

Neuromodulators such as Botox®, Dysport® or Xeomin® temporarily relax the muscles that pull the eyebrows downward. Strategic placement of a few tiny injections allows the opposing forehead muscles to lift the brows gently. Results begin to appear within one week and reach their peak in two weeks, lasting three to four months before retreatment is needed. Treatment takes only ten to fifteen minutes and requires no downtime. Patients often enjoy smoother frown lines and a lifted brow without surgery.

Dermal Fillers

Hyaluronic acid‑based fillers, such as Juvederm® or Restylane®, can be injected along the brow bone and temples to replenish volume lost with age. By restoring structure to these areas, the brow is subtly lifted and the upper eyelids appear less hooded. Filler injections take about thirty minutes and produce immediate results that last six to twelve months. This technique is often combined with neuromodulators for a more comprehensive lift.

PDO Thread Lift

A PDO thread lift uses fine, dissolvable sutures inserted beneath the skin to physically lift and suspend the brow. The threads provide immediate elevation and stimulate collagen production as they dissolve over six to twelve months. The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia and takes roughly forty‑five minutes. Most patients experience mild swelling or bruising that subsides within a few days. Results typically last one to two years.

Ultrasound & Radiofrequency Tightening

Energy‑based treatments such as Ultherapy® (ultrasound) and radiofrequency devices deliver heat to deep layers of skin, triggering collagen contraction and new collagen growth. As the tissue tightens and contracts over several months, the brows gradually lift. Sessions last thirty to sixty minutes and require no downtime. Patients often need one or two treatments, with results that can persist for one year or longer.

What Can Non‑Surgical Eyebrow Lifts Address?

Non‑surgical eyebrow lifts are ideal for individuals with mild to moderate brow drooping, horizontal forehead lines or hooded eyelids. They can correct asymmetry, enhance the arch of the brow and soften frown lines. These treatments are not suitable for severe brow ptosis requiring surgical correction, but they offer a versatile solution for early signs of aging and for those seeking subtle improvement without downtime.

The Non‑Surgical Eyebrow Lift Procedure at Albany Cosmetic & Laser Centre

Preparation

To prepare for your appointment, avoid blood‑thinning medications and supplements—such as aspirin, ibuprofen, vitamin E and fish oil—for several days. Refrain from alcohol and smoking, and stop using harsh exfoliants or retinoids one week before treatment. Arrive with clean skin free of makeup and moisturiser, and shave facial hair if necessary. Eat a light meal before your visit and consider taking arnica to reduce bruising. Inform us of any medical conditions, allergies or pregnancy.

Before & After Results

Many clients notice a more lifted brow and smoother forehead within days of neuromodulator or filler injections. Thread lifts provide immediate elevation with continued improvement over months as collagen forms. Energy‑based treatments reveal gradual tightening over several months. We recommend viewing our before and after gallery to understand the range of natural outcomes and discuss your expectations during your consultation.

Aftercare Tips

Following your treatment, avoid rubbing or massaging the area for at least twenty‑four hours. Keep your head elevated and sleep on your back to prevent pressure on the brows. Skip strenuous exercise, saunas and hot baths for two days. Apply cold compresses to minimise swelling, and avoid makeup on the treated area for twenty‑four hours. Stay hydrated and follow any personalised aftercare instructions we provide.

Side Effects and Downtime

Minor side effects are common after a non‑surgical eyebrow lift. You may experience slight redness, swelling, bruising or tenderness at injection or thread insertion sites. These effects typically resolve within a few days. Thread lifts can cause temporary puckering or dimpling that settles as the threads integrate into the tissue. Energy‑based treatments may leave the skin feeling warm or tingling for a few hours. Serious complications are rare when procedures are performed by qualified professionals.
