As women age, subtle yet progressive changes to facial anatomy can create an appearance that doesn’t reflect how vibrant and energised they feel. One common concern is the descent of the outer brow, leading to a heavy upper face and a more fatigued, aged look. This is primarily due to a combination of factors: a gradual depletion of collagen and elastin, repeated muscle movement over the years, and the downward influence of specific muscles, notably the orbicularis oculi and depressor supercilii.
At Monaz Clinic, we offer a refined, non-surgical option to address these concerns using expertly placed anti-wrinkle injections. By targeting the muscles responsible for pulling the brow downward, we allow the natural elevator — the frontalis muscle — to function with less resistance. The result is a subtle lift, particularly at the outer third of the brow, which brightens the entire upper face.
Our approach is precise and personalised. Each patient is assessed for individual muscle dynamics, facial symmetry, and aesthetic preferences. The goal is always to create a rested, elegant lift while maintaining expressive facial movement. Our medically-led technique ensures that you retain your natural look — only fresher, more open, and more aligned with how you truly feel inside.
A non-surgical brow lift is a prescription-led, non-surgical treatment that uses carefully placed injections to reduce the pull of specific muscles that draw the brows downward. By easing that downward pull in selected points, the natural lifting muscle of the forehead can work more freely, which may create a gentle elevation of the brows, particularly at the outer tail. The aim is a subtle shift that makes the eye area look more open, while keeping expression natural and recognisable.
This approach works best when it’s planned around your individual brow shape and how your face moves in real life — smiling, squinting, and raising the brows. During consultation, we assess brow position, eyelid heaviness, and any asymmetry, as these details influence where treatment should be placed and whether a non-surgical approach is suitable for you.
This technique is especially effective at:
As a minimally invasive treatment, it involves no incisions, no stitches, and no general anaesthetic. Results are temporary and vary between individuals, which is why we focus on conservative planning and clear expectations during your face-to-face prescriber consultation.
For many women, the first noticeable sign of upper facial ageing is a subtle heaviness around the brow and eyes. This can begin in the mid-30s and progress due to skin laxity, repetitive facial movement, and gravitational descent. Over time, the brow may appear lower, and the eyes less open — often leading to comments like “You look tired,” even when well-rested.
Treatment Benefits :
This treatment is ideal for women who are beginning to notice changes in brow position or seeking a preventative approach to facial ageing, without committing to surgery.
Who Is This Treatment For?
This treatment is suitable for adult patients who would like a gentle, non-surgical lift to the brow area in a prescription-led way. It’s often chosen by women who want the upper face to look more open and rested, while keeping their expression natural and recognisable.
You may be a suitable candidate if:
Suitability is always confirmed during a face-to-face consultation with a qualified prescriber, where we review your medical history, current medications, and what you’d like to achieve, so expectations stay realistic and outcomes remain natural.
Anti-wrinkle injections are a prescription-only treatment used to soften expression-related lines and support subtle changes in facial balance by temporarily reducing the strength of contraction in selected muscles. When placed with care into specific points, the treatment calms nerve-to-muscle signalling in the treated area, which allows the muscles involved in certain crease patterns or downward pull to work less strongly for a period of time.
For brow support, the aim is not to “freeze” the face. Instead, we focus on gentle, strategic placement that can reduce the influence of muscles that pull the brow downward, helping the upper face look more open while keeping movement natural and recognisable. Suitability is confirmed during a face-to-face consultation with a qualified prescriber, where we review your medical history, medications, and what you’d like to achieve.
Note:This remains one of the most commonly chosen non-surgical options for supporting a refreshed, gently lifted look of the upper face, when planned carefully and delivered with clinical judgement.
A non-surgical brow lift works by reducing the downward pull of selected muscles, allowing the brow area to sit a little higher and look more open. The treatment is planned around how your brows move in real life — smiling, squinting, and raising the brows — so the result stays natural and balanced.
Mechanism of Action:
Effects are temporary and typically last a few months, fading gradually as normal muscle signalling returns. If you choose to repeat treatment, the plan can be adjusted over time to reflect facial changes and the level of lift you prefer.
Every treatment begins with a one-to-one consultation in our discreet Harley Street clinic. Your practitioner will assess your brow height, facial balance, and skin condition while reviewing your full medical history to ensure this treatment is appropriate and safe.
The skin is gently cleansed, and facial landmarks are mapped out. The practitioner identifies the precise injection points based on your unique muscle movement. Most patients do not require numbing cream, but it can be offered upon request.
Using an ultra-fine needle, a series of small injections are placed into the targeted muscles. The procedure typically takes 10 to 20 minutes. Most patients experience only minimal discomfort, likened to a light pinprick.
Following treatment, you may resume normal activities. Some slight redness or mild swelling may occur but usually resolves within an hour. Full aftercare instructions are provided to help you optimise results.
When to Expect Results?
Subtle effects may begin to show within 3 to 5 days. By day 10 to 14, most women notice a brighter, more open brow and eye area. Your expression will remain natural — just less tired-looking.
How Long Will It Last?
Most patients enjoy results for approximately 3 to 4 months. Factors such as metabolism, facial muscle strength, and skincare habits can influence longevity.
Maintenance:
To maintain a consistent result, repeat treatments are typically recommended every 12 to 16 weeks. With regular sessions, the formation of deeper static lines may also be minimised.
To support your results and minimise the risk of temporary side effects, please follow these clinical aftercare guidelines:
Most women return to daily activities immediately. Some may notice mild redness, pinpoint swelling, or slight bruising, which usually subsides within 1–2 days.
All potential risks, side effects, and aftercare instructions are discussed in detail during your consultation. Our team remains on hand for any questions or reassurance you may need after your visit.

No. Our approach is based on clinical precision and aesthetic harmony. We aim to enhance, not change. You will retain full expression, with a subtle lift that feels and looks entirely natural.
Including consultation and injections, the full appointment typically lasts 15 to 30 minutes. The injections themselves take just 10 to 20 minutes.
Discomfort is minimal. We use ultra-fine needles and gentle technique. Most women describe the sensation as a quick scratch. If you’re sensitive, a topical numbing cream is available.
Yes. Many patients choose to combine brow-lifting injections with other aesthetic treatments like microneedling or dermal fillers. We’ll tailor your treatment plan during your consultation.
Makeup can be applied after 24 hours, provided it is done lightly and without pressure over the injection sites.
