What Is a Renuvion Non-Surgical Brow Lift?
Renuvion (J-Plasma) non-surgical brow lift applies helium plasma combined with RF energy to the subperiosteal layer beneath the forehead, contracting forehead tissue and elevating the brow without an endoscope or fixation hardware. Only two 1.5 cm scalp incisions are needed. Forehead height is reduced by an average of 4.1 mm. Procedure time: approximately 30 minutes.

Renuvion · Non-Surgical Brow Lift
Sagging Brows, Heavy Forehead
Lifted
Without a Scalpel – Renuvion Brow Lift
No Endoscope · No Fixation Hardware
Your Eyes Haven't Shrunk –
Your Brows Have Drooped
"My eyelids feel heavy and everyone says I look tired all the time."
"I need to raise my brows to look alert, but Botox only lasts 3 months..."
"I want a brow lift, but the thought of a long incision and long recovery has kept me putting it off for years."
As we age, the forehead's support structures weaken, causing the brows to gradually descend –
making the eyes appear smaller and the face look heavier.
This is not a double eyelid issue. It's a change in brow position
itself.
The Real Problem
It's Not Your Eyelids –
It's a Structural Problem with Your Forehead
When the periosteum and fascia supporting the forehead loosen, the brow descends and the upper
eyelid appears to sag.
Botox is temporary. Thread lifts are unsuitable for the
forehead.
Hooded Eyelids · Sleepy Look
Descended brows cause upper eyelid skin to fold over, giving a perpetually fatigued appearance
Deepening Frown Lines
Unconsciously raising the forehead to open the eyes further deepens forehead and glabellar lines
Widened Forehead
As brows descend, the forehead appears taller and facial proportions are disrupted
Limits of Botox
Requires repeat injections every 3-4 months without correcting the underlying brow position
Brow ptosis progressing after age 35 responds best to structural correction –
but that doesn't always mean a large incision.
The Solution
No Endoscope. No Hardware.
Tissue Contraction Lifts the Brow.
Renuvion applies helium plasma + RF energy to the subperiosteal
layer of the forehead,
physically contracting forehead tissue to elevate the
brow.
Because tissue contraction fixes the brow in its new position, no screws, anchors, or hardware are required.
Why the Subperiosteal Layer?
The subperiosteal layer sits directly above the frontal bone. With few blood vessels, it offers a low-bleeding, safe treatment plane.
This layer contains the arcus marginalis, the key structure anchoring the brow to the bone. By releasing it and applying Renuvion energy, the brow naturally rises.
Renuvion's tissue contraction replaces the role of screws and anchors used in traditional endoscopic brow lift.
Skin – Subcutaneous fat – Frontalis – Subperiosteal layer – Frontal bone
Renuvion contracts tissue at the subperiosteal level
Contraction = Natural Fixation
Collagen denatures and contracts at 85°C, anchoring the brow in its new position – no screws or anchors needed
Forehead Height Reduction
Unlike endoscopic lift (which can elongate the forehead), Renuvion reduces forehead height by an average of 4.1 mm
Zero Scar Alopecia
No skin excision means no tension-induced scarring or hair loss. Confirmed in all 26 study patients

LaPrin Protocol
Brow Lift + Comprehensive Facial Program
Renuvion brow lift works well standalone, but synergy is maximized within LaPrin's full facial protocol.
Upper Face Structural Correction
Renuvion Brow Lift
Subperiosteal helium plasma RF elevates the brow and reduces forehead height. No endoscope or fixation hardware. Approx. 30 minutes.
Volume & Skin Quality Restoration
Fat Grafting + Resurfacing
Autologous fat restores temple and forehead volume, while helium plasma resurfacing improves wrinkles and skin texture.
Lower Face Harmony
Facelift · Neck Lift Combination
Lifting only the upper face can disrupt balance. Addressing the jawline and neck simultaneously creates natural overall harmony.
In the published clinical study, 73% also received a
facelift, 73% a neck lift, and 77% fat grafting in the same session.
LaPrin designs your full facial balance from forehead to jawline.
