Eyebrow Lift: Your Guide to Non-Surgical Brow Lifting in Miami
“Eyebrow lift” can mean two very different things — a surgical procedure performed by a plastic surgeon, or a gentle, non-surgical treatment that lifts and reshapes your natural brow hairs in under an hour. If you want more open, youthful-looking eyes without surgery or downtime, the non-surgical brow lift is likely what you’re after. This guide explains both, so you can choose with confidence.
| Quick Answer: An eyebrow lift can be surgical (a cosmetic operation) or non-surgical (a brow lamination-style treatment that reshapes your natural brow hairs upward). The non-surgical version takes under an hour, lasts four to eight weeks, requires no downtime, and gives fuller, lifted-looking brows. Here’s how it works and what to expect. |

What Is an Eyebrow Lift?
An eyebrow lift is any treatment that raises or reshapes the brows to create a more open, refreshed appearance around the eyes. The term covers a spectrum: at one end is a surgical brow lift performed by a plastic surgeon to reposition the brow and forehead tissue; at the other is a non-surgical, treatment-based lift that restyles your existing brow hairs without touching the skin or muscle beneath.
For most people searching for a brow lift to look more polished and awake, the non-surgical option is the practical choice. It’s quick, comfortable, and reversible as your hairs naturally cycle — a world away from an operating room.
| DEFINITION — Eyebrow Lift
A treatment that lifts and reshapes the eyebrows for a more open, youthful look — ranging from a surgical procedure to a non-surgical brow lamination-style lift of the natural brow hairs. |
Surgical vs Non-Surgical Brow Lift
Understanding the difference matters because the two treatments serve different goals, budgets, and comfort levels. A surgical brow lift is a permanent cosmetic procedure that addresses sagging brow and forehead tissue, typically requiring anesthesia and recovery time. A non-surgical lift simply restyles the brow hairs to sit higher and fuller, with no incisions and no downtime.
| Feature | Surgical Brow Lift | Non-Surgical Lift |
| Procedure | Cosmetic surgery | Brow lamination-style treatment |
| Downtime | Days to weeks | None |
| Duration of result | Long-lasting / permanent | About 4 to 8 weeks |
| Reverses skin sag | Yes | No — restyles hairs only |
| Cost | High (surgical pricing) | Affordable salon treatment |
This guide focuses on the non-surgical lift, since it’s the version offered in a lash and brow studio. If you’re considering surgery, that’s a conversation for a board-certified plastic surgeon. According to the FDA, the eye and brow area is delicate, so any treatment near it — surgical or not — deserves a qualified professional.
How the Non-Surgical Lift Works
The non-surgical eyebrow lift uses the same gentle chemistry as a lash lift, applied to the brows. A softening solution temporarily relaxes the bonds inside each brow hair so they can be combed and set into a lifted, uniform shape. A second solution then locks that new shape in place, and a nourishing oil finishes the treatment.
| DEFINITION — Ammonium Thioglycolate
The active ingredient in lift and lamination solutions. It temporarily breaks the disulfide bonds in the hair’s keratin so the hair can be reshaped, after which a neutralizer reforms those bonds in the new position. |
In plain terms, the treatment works at the structural level of the hair. The first solution breaks the internal keratin bonds, the brow artist combs your hairs upward into the desired shape, and the neutralizer reforms the bonds so they hold that lifted look. Because it only affects the hair — not the skin or muscle — there’s no downtime and the effect fades gradually as your brows naturally renew.
| Same Science, Different Area A non-surgical brow lift and a lash lift rely on the same lift-and-set chemistry; the brow version is simply applied to the eyebrow hairs to lift and tame them. |
Eyebrow Lift vs Brow Lamination
You’ll often see “eyebrow lift” and “brow lamination” used to describe the same non-surgical treatment, and that’s largely fair — the lifting effect comes from the lamination process. The distinction is mostly one of emphasis: “lift” highlights the result (brows that sit higher and look more open), while “lamination” names the technique (relaxing and re-setting the hairs).
If you’ve read our guides on brow lamination and eyebrow lamination, you already understand the core process. Think of the eyebrow lift as the outcome-focused way of describing that same service: fuller, lifted, well-groomed brows that last several weeks.
- “Eyebrow lift” emphasizes the lifted, more open result
- “Brow lamination” names the relaxing-and-setting technique
- Both restyle your natural brow hairs without surgery
- Both typically last around four to eight weeks
What to Expect During Your Appointment
A non-surgical brow lift is a calm, comfortable appointment that usually takes 45 to 75 minutes. You’ll relax with your eyes open or closed while your brow artist works, and there’s no pain involved — just the cool sensation of the solutions and gentle combing.
- Consultation to map your ideal brow shape and discuss your goals
- Cleansing of the brows to remove oil and makeup
- Application of the softening solution and combing hairs into shape
- Application of the setting solution to lock the new position
- A nourishing oil and an optional tint to add depth and definition
- Aftercare guidance for the first 24 to 48 hours
Many clients pair the lift with a tint for brows that read fuller and more defined even without makeup. Your artist will tailor the shape to your face during the consultation — you can see results in our gallery and learn about the team who’ll be working with you.
Results, Cost, and Aftercare
Results are immediate and last roughly four to eight weeks, fading gradually as your brow hairs complete their natural growth cycle. To protect the set, keep your brows dry for the first 24 to 48 hours, avoid heavy creams and exfoliants on the area initially, and brush them into shape daily for the cleanest look.
- Keep brows dry for the first 24 to 48 hours after the treatment
- Avoid oil-based products and exfoliants on the brows at first
- Brush brows upward daily to maintain the lifted shape
- Book a touch-up every four to eight weeks as the effect fades
Pricing for a non-surgical brow lift sits in the affordable salon range rather than the surgical tier — a fraction of the cost of an operation, with none of the recovery. You can review current treatment pricing on our pricing page before you book.
Is an Eyebrow Lift Right for You?
A non-surgical eyebrow lift is ideal if your brow hairs are unruly, sparse-looking, or grow in different directions, or if you simply want a more polished, lifted look without daily styling. It’s also a great trial run for anyone curious about the effect of fuller brows before considering anything more permanent.
It may not be the right fit if you have very sparse brows with little hair to work with, active skin irritation in the area, or known sensitivities to the solutions. According to Medical News Today, reactions to cosmetic treatments around the eyes can occur, so a patch test and an honest consultation help ensure the treatment suits you.
Safety and Licensing
Because a brow lift uses chemical solutions near the eyes, it should only be performed by a trained, licensed professional. In Florida, cosmetology services like this fall under state regulation. According to the Florida Board of Cosmetology, treatments of this kind are governed by licensing requirements designed to protect clients, so always confirm your artist is properly licensed.
At our studio, brow lifts are performed by licensed professionals following strict hygiene and patch-test practices. To ask questions or confirm the treatment is right for you, contact the studio or read more on our about page.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a non-surgical eyebrow lift?
It’s a brow lamination-style treatment that uses a gentle softening and setting solution to reshape your natural brow hairs into a lifted, fuller-looking position. It takes under an hour, requires no downtime, and lasts about four to eight weeks before fading naturally.
What’s the difference between an eyebrow lift and brow lamination?
They describe the same non-surgical treatment from different angles. “Eyebrow lift” emphasizes the lifted result, while “brow lamination” names the technique of relaxing and re-setting the hairs. Both restyle your natural brows without surgery and last several weeks.
How long does an eyebrow lift last?
A non-surgical brow lift typically lasts four to eight weeks. The effect fades gradually as your brow hairs complete their natural growth cycle and are replaced, at which point you can book a touch-up to maintain the lifted look.
Is a non-surgical eyebrow lift safe?
When performed by a trained, licensed professional with proper hygiene and a patch test, it’s considered safe for most people. Because solutions are used near the eyes, reactions are possible, so a consultation and patch test help confirm it’s right for you.
How much does an eyebrow lift cost?
A non-surgical brow lift is an affordable salon treatment, a fraction of the cost of surgical options, with no recovery time. Exact pricing depends on whether you add a tint, so check our pricing page or ask during your consultation.
Does an eyebrow lift involve surgery?
The treatment we offer is non-surgical — it reshapes your natural brow hairs and never touches the skin or muscle. A surgical brow lift is a separate cosmetic operation performed by a plastic surgeon and is not part of a lash and brow studio’s services.
Conclusion
An eyebrow lift can mean major surgery or a quick, gentle treatment that reshapes your natural brows — and for most people wanting brighter, more open eyes, the non-surgical lift is the easy answer. It uses the same trusted lamination chemistry as a lash lift, takes under an hour, needs no downtime, and lasts weeks. If you’re ready for fuller, lifted brows without the commitment of surgery, our licensed team in Brickell is here to help you look effortlessly polished.
