Common Target Areas

Brow (lateral and medial elevation) Forehead (frontalis and depressor balance) Nasalis (bunny lines on nose bridge)

Brow lift London treatment at PRP London Clinic offers a non-surgical approach to elevating the brow position and smoothing bunny lines on the nose — all performed by GMC-registered doctors at 33 Cavendish Square. If you are searching for an eyebrow lift London solution that avoids surgery, incisions, and extended downtime, targeted prescription-only injections can achieve a subtle, natural lift by relaxing the muscles that pull the brow downward.

This page covers two closely related upper face concerns: brow ptosis (a heavy or low-set brow) and bunny lines (the diagonal creases that form across the bridge of the nose during facial expression). Both are treated using the same class of prescription-only medicine and are frequently combined in a single appointment. Our consultation-led approach ensures your treatment plan is tailored to your individual anatomy, muscle activity, and aesthetic goals.

This treatment sits within our comprehensive anti-wrinkle treatment programme. For forehead lines, frown lines, and crow's feet, visit our upper face page.

Every brow lift London consultation and treatment at PRP London Clinic is performed by a GMC-registered doctor. Our medical team includes Dr Bruno Amendola (GMC: 4346629), who holds an international postgraduate qualification in aesthetic medicine and Save Face accreditation with particular expertise in upper face rejuvenation and non-surgical brow lift techniques; Dr Mohamed Nafei (GMC: 7520509), whose PgDip in Aesthetic Medicine and PgDip in Endocrinology inform a holistic approach to facial anatomy and eyebrow lift treatment London protocols; Dr Reem Nouri (GMC: 6149512), whose MBBS, DRCOG, and advanced aesthetic medicine training enable precise bunny lines treatment London delivery with natural-looking results; and Dr Mohammad Akbar (GMC: 5206673), our Founder and Medical Director, a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh whose surgical background ensures the highest clinical standards across every botox brow lift London procedure we perform.

Brow Ptosis: Why the Eyebrows Drop

Brow position is determined by the balance between elevator muscles (the frontalis, which raises the brow) and depressor muscles (the orbicularis oculi, procerus, and corrugator supercilii, which pull the brow downward and inward). As we age, the depressor muscles often become relatively dominant — compounded by loss of skin elasticity and gravitational descent — resulting in a heavy, low-set brow that can make the face appear tired or aged. A non-surgical brow lift works by selectively relaxing these depressor muscles, allowing the frontalis to elevate the brow unopposed and restoring a more open, refreshed appearance to the upper face.

Bunny Lines: The Nasalis Muscle

Bunny lines are the diagonal creases that appear on either side of the nose bridge when you scrunch your face or laugh. They are caused by contraction of the nasalis muscle. While subtle bunny lines are a normal part of facial expression, they can become more prominent with age or may develop as a compensatory movement after treatment to the frown line area. Targeted injection into the nasalis muscle softens these lines without affecting your ability to smile or express naturally.

How Targeted Injection Achieves a Lift

A systematic review published in Dermatologic Surgery confirmed that targeted injection of brow depressor muscles achieves measurable brow elevation, supporting non-surgical eyebrow lift protocols. By carefully dosing the lateral portion of the orbicularis oculi, the procerus, and the corrugator, your doctor creates a controlled relaxation that allows the forehead's elevator muscle to lift the brow — typically by 1–3 millimetres. This subtle elevation opens the eye area and can reduce lateral hooding without the need for surgery.

Brow Lift Injection Technique

For a non-surgical brow lift London treatment, your doctor targets three key depressor muscle groups. Small, precisely measured doses of prescription-only botulinum toxin are injected into the lateral portion of the orbicularis oculi (the muscle surrounding the eye that pulls the outer brow down), the procerus (the central muscle between the brows that pulls downward), and the corrugator supercilii (which draws the brows together and down). Typical dosing ranges from 4–10 units per side, adjusted according to your individual muscle mass and desired degree of lift. The goal is to weaken the downward pull while preserving natural brow movement.

Bunny Lines Injection Technique

For bunny lines treatment, 2–6 units are typically placed into the nasalis muscle on each side of the nose bridge. The injection is superficial and uses an ultra-fine needle. Your doctor assesses the nasalis during active expression to identify the precise placement that will soften the crease pattern without affecting surrounding muscle groups.

What to Expect

The combined procedure takes approximately 15–20 minutes. Most patients describe a brief, mild pinch at each injection point. No anaesthesia is required, though topical numbing cream is available if preferred. You can return to normal activities immediately. Initial results typically appear within 3–5 days, with the full effect visible at 10–14 days. A two-week review appointment is included to assess the result and make any refinements.

If you have received a brow lift or upper face treatment at another clinic and are unhappy with the outcome, PRP London Clinic offers a correction consultation. Common concerns include brow asymmetry following treatment, over-treatment causing a startled or unnatural appearance, under-treatment with insufficient lift, compensatory bunny lines that developed after frown line treatment, or eyelid heaviness from product migration.

Our doctors assess each case individually to determine whether correction is possible. In some instances, targeted supplementary treatment can address asymmetry or under-treatment. In other cases — particularly with over-treatment or ptosis — the most appropriate course is to allow the existing treatment to wear off before retreating with a revised protocol. Your doctor will provide an honest assessment of what can realistically be achieved. A consultation fee applies regardless of whether correction is possible.

Brow lift cost London at PRP London Clinic starts from £275. The final price depends on whether you are having a brow lift alone, bunny lines treatment alone, or a combination of both, as well as the number of units required for your individual anatomy. A detailed, transparent quote is provided during your consultation with no hidden fees.

Many patients combine brow lift and bunny lines treatment with upper face areas such as forehead lines and crow's feet for a comprehensive upper face rejuvenation. Your doctor will discuss all options and associated costs during your assessment. Consultation fees are deducted from the treatment cost if you proceed on the same day.

The safety of botulinum toxin for upper face rejuvenation is well-established in the clinical literature. A systematic review and meta-analysis published in the Aesthetic Surgery Journal (Zargaran et al., 2022) analysed 4,268 injection sessions in the glabellar and forehead region, finding an overall complication rate of 16% — with the vast majority of complications mild and transient. Headache (6.3%) and local skin reactions (3.8%) were the most commonly reported adverse effects.

The most significant technique-dependent risk specific to brow lift treatment is eyelid ptosis (drooping), which occurs when product migrates to the levator palpebrae superioris muscle. This risk is minimised by precise injection placement, appropriate dosing, and adherence to aftercare instructions — particularly remaining upright and avoiding rubbing the treatment area. In the rare event that ptosis occurs, it is temporary and resolves as the product wears off, typically within 2–6 weeks.

At PRP London Clinic, all treatments are administered by GMC-registered doctors with advanced aesthetic training. A meta-analysis of 32 randomised controlled trials involving 9,669 patients confirmed the overall acceptable safety profile of cosmetic botulinum toxin when administered by qualified practitioners.

Ideal CandidateMay Need an Alternative Approach
Mild-to-moderate brow ptosis with visible heaviness or asymmetrySevere brow descent with significant excess upper eyelid skin (may require surgical brow lift or blepharoplasty)
Visible bunny lines during facial expression or at restDeep static nasal creases unresponsive to muscle relaxation (may benefit from dermal fillers or skin resurfacing)
Seeking subtle, natural-looking brow elevation without surgeryExpecting dramatic lift or permanent repositioning of the brow
In good general health with no neuromuscular conditionsThose with myasthenia gravis, Lambert-Eaton syndrome, or similar conditions
Not pregnant or breastfeedingCurrently pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning pregnancy in the near term
Committed to maintenance appointments every 3–4 monthsSeeking a permanent one-time solution

Your suitability for brow lift and bunny lines treatment is determined during your medical consultation. The following conditions are contraindications:

  • Neuromuscular disorders — myasthenia gravis, Lambert-Eaton syndrome, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
  • Pregnancy or breastfeeding — treatment is not administered during pregnancy or lactation
  • Allergy or hypersensitivity — known allergy to botulinum toxin or any formulation excipients
  • Active skin infection — any infection at the proposed injection site must be resolved first
  • Bleeding disorders — including patients on anticoagulant therapy (discussed on a case-by-case basis)
  • Significant dermatochalasis — excessive upper eyelid skin laxity may require surgical assessment rather than non-surgical brow elevation
  • Certain medications — aminoglycoside antibiotics, muscle relaxants, or other medications that may interact

If you are unsure whether any of these apply to you, your consulting doctor will review your full medical history and advise accordingly. All decisions are made with patient safety as the primary consideration.

Myths vs Facts

M

A brow lift will leave you with a frozen forehead and no expression.

F

When performed by an experienced, GMC-registered doctor using precise dosing, a non-surgical brow lift softens brow heaviness while preserving natural movement and expression. The 'frozen' look results from over-treatment — our doctors tailor every plan to the individual's anatomy, muscle strength, and aesthetic preferences.

M

Surgery is the only way to lift a drooping brow.

F

For mild-to-moderate brow ptosis, targeted injection of brow depressor muscles achieves measurable elevation of 1–3 millimetres without surgery, incisions, or downtime. A systematic review in Dermatologic Surgery confirmed the efficacy of non-surgical brow lift protocols. Surgery may be appropriate for severe cases, but many patients achieve their desired result non-surgically.

M

Bunny lines are just a normal part of ageing and nothing can be done about them.

F

While bunny lines can develop naturally with age, they can also become more prominent as a compensatory movement after frown line treatment. Targeted injection into the nasalis muscle softens bunny lines effectively in a few minutes, and the treatment is commonly combined with a brow lift in the same appointment.

M

Botox in the brow area will make my eyebrows feel heavy.

F

A properly performed brow lift targets the depressor muscles that pull the brow downward. By relaxing these muscles, the frontalis (elevator) can lift the brow more effectively — resulting in a lighter, more open feeling around the eyes, not a heavier one. Heaviness only occurs if the frontalis itself is over-treated, which is avoided through careful assessment and dosing.

M

Brow lift treatment is only for older patients.

F

Brow lift treatment is suitable for adults of various ages. Some younger patients have naturally low-set brows or develop early brow heaviness, while others seek preventative treatment. The decision is based on your individual anatomy and concerns, not your age. A consultation determines whether treatment is appropriate and beneficial at any stage.

M

The results of a non-surgical brow lift look obviously 'done'.

F

A well-executed non-surgical brow lift achieves a subtle, natural-looking elevation — typically 1–3 millimetres — that refreshes the eye area without appearing artificial. The goal is to restore a more youthful brow position, not to create an exaggerated arch. Most people will notice you look refreshed rather than identifying a specific treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Brow lift cost London at PRP London Clinic starts from £275. The final price depends on whether you are having a brow lift alone, bunny lines treatment, or a combination of both areas, as well as the number of units required for your individual anatomy. A detailed quote is provided during your consultation with no hidden fees.

A botox brow lift typically lasts 3–4 months, though this varies according to your metabolism, muscle strength, and the dosage used. First-time patients may find results wear off slightly sooner. With regular maintenance treatments, some patients report that results last progressively longer as the treated muscles adapt. Your doctor will recommend an appropriate maintenance schedule during your two-week review.

A non-surgical brow lift uses targeted injections of prescription-only botulinum toxin to relax the muscles that pull the eyebrow downward (the brow depressors). By weakening these muscles, the elevator muscle of the forehead (frontalis) can lift the brow unopposed, typically achieving 1–3 millimetres of elevation. This creates a more open, refreshed appearance around the eyes without surgery, incisions, or extended downtime.

Yes. A botox eyebrow lift is supported by extensive clinical evidence. A meta-analysis of 32 randomised controlled trials involving 9,669 patients confirmed an acceptable safety profile for cosmetic botulinum toxin. A separate systematic review of 4,268 upper face injection sessions found that most complications were mild and transient, with headache and local skin reactions being the most common. The key risk specific to brow treatment is temporary eyelid ptosis, which is rare when treatment is performed by an experienced, qualified doctor.

The number of units for a brow lift varies according to your individual muscle mass, the degree of lift required, and your anatomy. Typical dosing ranges from 4–10 units per side for the brow depressors, with an additional 2–6 units per side if bunny lines are being treated simultaneously. Your doctor will recommend the appropriate dosage during your consultation based on a thorough assessment.

Bunny lines are the diagonal creases that appear on either side of the nose bridge when you scrunch your face, laugh, or smile. They are caused by contraction of the nasalis muscle. Bunny lines treatment involves a small number of precisely placed injections into the nasalis muscle to soften these creases. The treatment takes just a few minutes and is often combined with a brow lift or upper face treatment in the same appointment.

Yes. A systematic review published in Dermatologic Surgery confirmed that targeted injection of brow depressor muscles achieves measurable brow elevation. By relaxing the muscles that pull the brow downward — the orbicularis oculi, procerus, and corrugator — the forehead's elevator muscle can lift the brow by approximately 1–3 millimetres. This subtle but visible eyebrow lift opens the eye area and can reduce lateral hooding. The effect is not as dramatic as surgical intervention but offers a natural-looking improvement with no downtime.

After a non-surgical brow lift, initial results typically become noticeable within 3–5 days as the depressor muscles begin to relax. The full brow elevation effect develops over 10–14 days. A Cochrane review of 65 randomised controlled trials confirmed that botulinum toxin reduces wrinkles within four weeks of treatment. Your two-week review appointment allows your doctor to assess the result and make any refinements if needed.

A surgical brow lift (endoscopic or coronal) involves incisions, repositioning of tissue, and general anaesthetic with 1–3 weeks of recovery and results lasting 5–10 years. A non-surgical brow lift London treatment uses targeted injections to relax brow depressor muscles, takes 15–20 minutes, requires no downtime, and results last 3–4 months with maintenance. The non-surgical approach is best for mild-to-moderate brow ptosis, while significant brow descent may require surgical assessment.

Most patients describe the sensation during a brow lift as a brief, mild pinch at each injection point. Ultra-fine needles are used, and the procedure typically takes 15–20 minutes. Topical numbing cream is available if preferred, though most patients find it unnecessary. There is no recovery period, and you can return to your normal routine immediately following treatment.

Yes. Bunny lines and brow lift treatment are frequently combined in a single appointment, as both involve the same class of prescription-only medicine and target adjacent areas of the upper face. Combining treatments in one session is safe, convenient, and allows your doctor to create a balanced, harmonious result across the brow and nasal bridge area.

All brow lift London consultations and treatments at PRP London Clinic are performed exclusively by GMC-registered doctors. Our team includes Dr Bruno Amendola, Dr Mohamed Nafei, Dr Reem Nouri, and Dr Mohammad Akbar (Medical Director, FRCS Edinburgh). Every treatment is delivered by the same doctor who conducts your consultation, ensuring continuity of care.

No. A non-surgical brow lift is not permanent — results typically last 3–4 months before the muscles gradually return to their normal activity. This is considered an advantage by many patients, as it means the treatment is fully reversible and can be adjusted over time as your anatomy or preferences change. Maintenance appointments every 3–4 months sustain the result. If you stop treatment, your brow returns to its pre-treatment position with no lasting changes.

Yes. A brow lift is commonly combined with other upper face treatments such as forehead lines, frown lines, and crow's feet in a single appointment. It can also complement dermal fillers for volume restoration or skin-quality treatments. Your doctor will advise on the most effective combination during your consultation based on your overall facial assessment.
