Brow Lift & Bunny Lines Treatment in London

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.

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.

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.
