Avoid The Spock Brow With Proper Botox Injection Technique
Have you ever looked at someone’s face and thought their eyebrows resembled Dr. Spock from Star Trek?
An unwanted consequence of Botox injections, Spock brows are a term given to eyebrows that upturn sharply. While brow lifts can be useful for facial rejuvenation, exaggerated eyebrows look unnatural and out of place.
Medical professionals interested in learning the art of cosmetic injections can enroll in a medical aesthetics course where they will learn proper Botox injection techniques to avoid the Spock look.
Avoid The Spock Look
One of the keys to excellent treatment results is the proper Botox injection technique. Before physicians and nurses can inject, however, they must have a thorough understanding of facial anatomy and how these muscles interact with each treatment modality. They must also enroll in Botox training for medical professionals.
Medical professionals will learn that brow position results from the upward force of the elevators and the downward pull of the depressors. When these muscle groups are out of balance, the brow can appear abnormal. The Spock brow can occur by overtreating the depressors and/or undertreating the elevators in the outer half of the forehead. This contraindication tends to happen more with certain eyebrow shapes and clients who are very expressive with their eyebrows.
Physicians and nurses can avoid the Spock look by balancing the forces between the elevators and the depressors. This is accomplished by placing a small amount of Botox in the outer forehead.
If a client ends up with raised eyebrows, Botox training for medical professionals teaches the injector the corrective measures they should use if this does occur. An upturned eyebrow is typically corrected during a follow-up appointment a few weeks after the initial treatment.
