It’s trendy to flatten and lift your eyebrows

Trends come and go, but always with the aim of improving our aesthetics and simplifying our daily lives.

What exactly is a browlift?

Basically, the browlift, also known as a forehead lift or brow lift, is a cosmetic surgical procedure used to correct sagging eyebrows and forehead. It aims to reposition the eyebrows to a higher and more youthful position, thus removing horizontal forehead wrinkles and improving the overall appearance of the forehead area. But in common parlance, the browlift now refers to a non-surgical technique that aims to fix the eyebrow hairs upwards to widen the eyes and structure the facial features in a non-invasive way.
