A clinician injects Botox above the eyebrows to soften forehead lines. Half a drop on each side, placed lateral to the pupil, relaxes the muscle that raises the brow. Any bruising fades in 10 to 15 minutes.

Good morning. We're going to talk about a very specialized use of Botox. We have a patient here who's had Botox before, and what I want to demonstrate is when she raises her eyebrow, she gets a couple of lines above the brow. Now, a lot of times, women actually like the arched brow. And to have the arch, you have to leave the muscle above the eyebrow intact and functioning the frontalis muscle here. So again, raise your eyebrow for me. And you can see when the muscle's working. Obviously, you see a few little lines here. Now in her. Just relax the eyebrows. The brow position is nice. She doesn't need that much of an arch. So what I'm going to do is just put half a drop of Botox here and half a drop here just to basically ease that up a little bit so these lines won't show. And again, this demonstrates the flexibility of Botox and so many things you can do with it. So go ahead and put your head back for me. I'm going to have the cameras zoom in a little bit so we can show the technique. Okay, close your eyes. The injection, you can see it's basically lateral to the pupil. But it's just one little drop right here, and it's a subcutaneous drop right there. And on this side, same thing, subcutaneous drop, got a little bit more aggressive arch on that side. Just put a little bit more on that side. But the fact is, there's no bruising. The retinas will go away in about 10, 15 minutes. And what that does, it prevents the eyebrow from really coming up too aggressively and forming the lines up here. That's it, Sam.
