Brow lift
The chemical brow lift is a procedure that uses neuromodulators such as Botox to create a more subtle but similar effect as a surgically invasive brow lift.
Instead of reconstructing the brow region, this procedure relies on chemicals to reshape and reform the face into a more youthful appearance.
